with ref. WWI 1914-1917
Was Germany at fault?

Germany declared war on Russia on 1 Aug.
Germany invaded France on 4th Aug.
Britain declared war on Germany to stop the Germans from advancing further on 4th Aug.
WWI started.
Losses of lives in WWI.
France- 1.4million
Germany- 1.8million
Russia -1.7million
Britain- 0.75million
France was twice invaded by Germany.
Aim of the peace settlement- to prevent Germany from being an agressor again but avoid making Germany pay overly heavy damages and to promote democracy.
20 years down the road...history repeats itself. WWII began.
Both parties suffer...
