About the Book
Origins of the First World War by Gordon Martel provides a clear and concise summary of the complex policies, crises, and strategic decisions that led Europe to the brink of war in 1914. This extensively revised and updated fourth edition delves into the political and social dynamics of the great powers, illuminating how their alliances and international commitments created a volatile environment.
Martel expertly explains how the alliance system emerged, the nature of the strategic obligations it entailed, and how escalating crises at the turn of the century fueled a buildup towards war. Special attention is given to the unique Balkan context, which played a critical role in the outbreak of hostilities.
This edition enriches the reader’s understanding with an updated guide to further reading, a “Who’s Who” of key historical figures, and a glossary of essential terms. Expanded document selections, including key treaties and evidence of popular militarism and nationalism, provide valuable primary source insights.
Concise, analytical, and accessible, this book is essential reading for students and anyone interested in the origins of the First World War.
