About This Novel
"Armed peace" is recognized by European historians as the "key" to the outbreak of World War I. The Franco-Prussian War defeated France and Germany was unified. Why couldn't France be destroyed? What role did coordination among European powers play at the Berlin Conference? Why was the transition of the Second German Empire from the Bismarck era to the Wilhelm II era a strategic mistake? Why are there irreconcilable contradictions between the Austro-Hungarian Empire's coveting of the Balkan Peninsula and the Russian Empire's Pan-Slavism? Why did the Ottoman Empire lose to the Balkan Alliance in the First Balkan War? How did the uneven distribution of spoils in the Balkan Alliance trigger the Second Balkan War? How did the Moroccan crisis occur and be resolved? Was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, an official act of the Kingdom of Serbia or a private act? What happened in the critical twelve days before the outbreak of World War I? Why did the European coordination and ambassadorial conferences fail to prevent the outbreak of the First World War? This book will give detailed answers.
