how we reported the outbreak
100 years ago.
While there are many interpretations as to the causes of the
First World War, in the opinion
of Townend, the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz
Ferdinand by Serbian rebels is seen as
the main reason that started the war. The assassination
sparked outrage from Austria, who
supported by Hungary sent an ultimatum to Serbia with very
harsh terms. With the terms on the
table, and convinced that Austria and Hungary were up in arms
readying for war, Serbia appealed
to Russia to assist them. Germany had an obligation to
support Austria stemming from their Dual
alliance pact.
With the entrance of Russia and Germany, Belgium, France and
the Great Britain joined
in. the battle lines were already drawn with both teams
pitting Russia, Belgium, France, Great
Britain and Serbia on one side, and Germany and
Austria-Hungary on the other, otherwise referred
to as the triple alliance.
John Graham Royde-Smith, D. E. (2019). World War 1.
According to John Graham, whereas there was an ongoing naval
arms race between Great
Britain and Germany, with each trying to be superior, coupled
by Germany’s success in the FrancoGerman war, and further the
assassination of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand, the first
world war was inevitable.
He feels that, between August 5th and 28th , 1914, there were
various declarations of wars
between the states, and this culminated to the total war,
later that year, pitting the allied powers
(Russia, France, Great Britain, Belgium and Serbia) against
the Triple alliance (Germany, AustriaHungary)

WW1 debt. BBC News .
According to Lang, at the end of the First World War, the
allied powers had won, and
therefore the triple alliance powers had to pay reparations
for the war. The victors of the war mainly
established that Germany was guilty for the inception of the
war and therefore had to pay a high
price. Germany were not in agreement with the high sum that
they were to pay as reparations for
the war, and this has been said to have been the contributing
factor towards the second world war.
With the economic unrest, having used government funding
during the war, Germany
could not pay the reparations, and this stretched on until
2010 when it finally paid off the remaining
World War 1 reparations.
He also continues that although that was mainly just an
economic provision towards
ensuring that they paid for instigating the world war, other
forms of reparations included punitive,
territorial, and military provisions aimed at minimizing its
instigation of another war.

boom and World War II: A
macroeconomic analysis. The Review of Economic Studies,
82(3), 1031-1073.
With the numerous casualties of the First World War, the
Doepke established that there
had to be a solution which would ensure future peace. That
solution was rested in the hands of the
Covenant of the League of Nations, formed in 1920. This was
an agreement among world leaders
aimed at achieving world peace. The main objectives of this
covenant were to prevent world wars
through disarmament, since it was viewed that the naval arms
race was one of the main reasons
for the First World War as Doepke established.
Spykman, N. J. (2017). America’s strategy in world politics:
the United States and the balance of
power. Routledge.
Spykman posited that, promoting international peace and by
extension achievement of
international peace and security was the prerogative of the
League of Nations at its formation in
1920. However, the covenant collapse was imminent when it
failed to prevent the outbreak of the
Second World War. This is one of the biggest reasons why the
covenant is christened as an
international legal failure.
The Germans viewed this covenant as a tool by the allied
powers, towards controlling them,
and as such led by Adolf Hitler, ignited the Second World
War.
