The highest levels of Serbian and Russian government worked towards it, there can really be no doubt about that when you read the correspondence, the need for an incident is even literally on paper.

Edit, no no German encouragemt Brandy Blue, it was Germany who pressed for the two-week ultimatum. Corresponce of that exists as well. It was a Prussian habit to deliver a strategy every year, the existance of these strategies is really all the guilt-question is based upon.

I blame the imperialist societies they all came from 19century morals and thinking but using the massed industrial arms of the 20century a big recipe for disaster.

People educated to read in order work but not to really think about the posters exhorting people to come to the aid of "Poor Little Belgium" etc etc hey wait a minute Ireland is a small country why do I have to fight your war.

The sad thing is it could all happen again cos were still suffering the same structural problems the world faced then.
