An hour well spent. This was a very engaging and informative discussion. The only issue I have is that when the panel talks about another historian, if that information could be added to the notes. That would be extremely helpful. Thank you for posting discussions like this.
If anyone cares, this should be a link to the documentary referenced around the 46 minute mark. ua-cam.com/video/acjUd5fXpOI/v-deo.html
good work
Amazing overview of the importance of the borders of WWI and their collapse which led to the rise of ISIS.
Oct. 2018 and no comments? Here's one: What portion of the blame is Russia and the Tsar's refusal to stop mobilization?
June 2019, Little, in my opinion. They were unwilling to go to war earlier due to british pressure (Bosnia annexation), but this time (1914) Serbian Independence was being threatened.
Dec 2020. A lot honestly.
There is a clear point of evidence, even at the time, that shows that Russia in some sense wanted this war, and had a significant part in blowing up the crisis, and that is in the speed that they mobilized the Russian army. No one outside of Russia expected the speed that the Russians succeded at gathering and arming their standing units, and the first draft of reservis... And there is good reason for this supprise. In the Russo-Japanese war the Russians have a really hard time getting their act together, even with reforms of the systems (that largely did not show in any other part of Russian society) it would have been very unlikely to succed in mustering the troops the way the Russians did it. That speaks of a desire for a quick war with Austria-Hungary, resulting in the entire thing going off.
January 2020; Russia was to blame. For it supported Serbians regardless of consequences.
A significant amount, but my no means all.
The opposition of the old guard to any "social" or "collective" histories is most unfortunate.
The War ended to soon.....?
Odd perspective....
............
Not that it ended too soon, but the Western narrative ends it after the big powers (minus Russia) stop their guns. Robert Gerwarth's latest work VANQUISHED is superb in treating this subject.
Enlightening conversation. However I just couldn't take the one guy serious after his defense of Woodrow Wilson
Cause he had a different opinion to yours. Pathetic
