About This Book

A concise school-oriented narrative surveys the political, social, and military causes and course of the Great War, beginning with European conditions before the conflict and tracing nationalism, industrial change, alliances, and Balkan tensions that fed hostilities. It summarizes military campaigns year by year from 1914 through 1918, examines German militarism, and considers international law and diplomatic efforts such as the Hague conferences. The account outlines the United States' entry and role, offers a chronology of principal events, and concludes with discussion of the problems to be settled at peace, all arranged in clear, classroom-ready chapters and questions to aid student comprehension.
