Band Die Vorgeschichte des Weltkrieges E-text prepared by Peter Becker, Wolfgang Menges, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive (https://archive.org) "Der Weltkrieg, I. Band" by Karl Helfferich is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically in the aftermath of World War I. The book delves into the intricacies surrounding the origins of the war, exploring political alliances, conflicts, and the evolving relationships between major powers leading up to the conflict. Helfferich, having been personally involved in the events that shaped the war, aims to provide insight into the conditions and decisions that contributed to the outbreak of this global conflict. At the start of the work, the author outlines his intentions, stating that he does not presume to write a definitive history of the war but feels compelled to offer his perspective on its precursors and key developments. He reflects on his personal involvement in the diplomatic maneuverings that preceded the war, emphasizing the complexities of alliances and the shifting landscape of international relations during those years. The opening portion discusses the political environment influenced by Bismarck's legacy, the deterioration of relationships between Germany and other European powers, and the events leading up to the war, such as the Bosnian crisis and the entente between France, Russia, and Britain.
