To esteem the author’s writing compendious, or succinct, is merely a chimera, from which no inspiration is derived, in order to formulate an exegesis. The execrable work is, at best, pithy and laconic. I cannot suppress my penchant for utilizing a posteriori knowledge, with such a paucity of information; thus, I cannot deduce (infer), but conjecture.

World War One was many years in the making with separate incidences occurring between the empires that ultimately lead up to war beginning. With many powerful empires on edge and wanting to be the most powerful, they did whatever they could to make this happen. The First World War was not sparked by one event or motive, but in turn was started due to many major factors. The war’s blame can be placed on all of the countries involved, rather than solely Germany. These factors from World War One were

2. To what extent was Germany to blame for starting WWI? After a massive war, it easy to see why a lot people would point fingers at the country that lost the war. However, is this always correct; or do people jump to conclusions much too quickly? By doing this, do they also create a whole new kind of trouble for themselves to come in later years?
