Summary: "The Evidence in the Case" by James M. Beck is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The work discusses the moral responsibility for the outbreak of World War I, drawing on diplomatic records from several nations, including England, Germany, and Austria, to construct a legal argument regarding the war's justification. Through this analysis, Beck aims to provide an authoritative interpretation of the events leading to the war, emphasizing that the principles of international morality and the conscience of mankind should be recognized in adjudicating state actions. The opening of the book sets the stage for a rigorous examination of the circumstances surrounding the outbreak of World War I. Beck introduces his contention that a "Supreme Court of Civilization" should exist to judge the actions of nations based on moral principles, and he critiques the prevailing attitudes of the German militaristic philosophy espoused by figures such as Bernhardi and Treitschke. Highlighting the significance of public opinion and international conscience, Beck prepares the reader for an in-depth review of the diplomatic communications that precipitated the war, asserting that it is essential to hold nations accountable for their aggressive actions and decisions that compromise global peace.
