More than 25 countries eventually participated, aligned with either the Allied or the Central powers. The Allies—who won the war—included primarily France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and, from 1917, the United States. The Central Powers consisted mainly of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). World War I felled four great imperial dynasties, in Germany, Russia, Austria- Hungary, and Turkey. It led to revolution in Russia, destabilized Europe, and laid the foundations for World War II. (For a chronology of events for World War I, seeWorld War I Chronology.) Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.

On a human scale, the scope of the war was just as monumental. More than 65 million soldiers were mobilized for the armies, navies, and emerging air forces. Some 8.5 million lost their lives, and more than 21 million were wounded. In addition, civilian populations worked as never before to produce enormous quantities of guns, munitions, and other supplies. Because civilians played such an important role, World War I was the first conflict to be called “total war.” The Onset of War Austria's Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, sit in an open carriage in Sarajevo… World History Archive/ARPL/age fotostock © 2020 Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. 3 of 60 Britannica LaunchPacks | World War I: Key Battles and Events Archduke Francis Ferdinand (Franz Ferdinand), the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was killed in … Contunico © ZDF Enterprises GmbH, Mainz On June 28, 1914, Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated. He was murdered at Sarajevo, the capital of the Austrian province of Bosnia. The assassin was Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian-trained Bosnian terrorist. Austria claimed that Serbian government officials had trained and equipped Princip’s group, which was known as the Black Hand. For many years Serbia and Austria-Hungary had been unfriendly because Serbian nationalists wanted to unite all Slavic peoples living in the Balkan region into a single state. Slavs living in Austria-Hungary would be included, and Austria-Hungary strongly opposed this. Austria-Hungary decided to use the assassination as an excuse to settle its quarrel with Serbia. Germany promised to back Austria-Hungary. On July 23 Austria-Hungary presented a warlike ultimatum to Serbia, allowing only 48 hours for an answer. Serbia responded by July 25 but suggested that some of Austria-Hungary’s demands be referred to the other European powers. Austria-Hungary refused Serbia’s suggestion, and on July 28 it declared war on Serbia. All the nations in Europe had been expecting war. For many years rival groups of nations had been making treaties and alliances. By 1914 Europe had been divided into two camps. Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy were members of the Triple Alliance. Later, after the withdrawal of Italy and the addition of the Ottoman Empire, the Triple Alliance took a new name, the Central Powers. Russia, France, and Britain formed the rival Triple Entente. Later they were called the Allies. Except for Bulgaria, the Balkan states sided with Serbia and the Allies. These alliances were brought into action July 28 by Austria-Hungary’s declaration of war. Within a week all Europe was at war. Other Nations Involved On July 29 Russia mobilized its troops near the Austrian and German borders, purportedly to keep Serbia from being crushed. However, Russia had plans in the Ottoman Empire that had been blocked by Austria-Hungary and Germany. Russia wanted to control Constantinople and the straits from the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea. On July 31 Germany demanded that Russia stop its war mobilization measures and delivered an ultimatum to France to declare itself neutral in the event of war between Russia and Germany. France and Germany had been enemies in many previous wars. They had also been divided by the question of Alsace-Lorraine. Both Russia and France ignored the German demands. Fighting began on the German-Russian frontier on August 1.

Germany claimed that Britain was trying to keep it from becoming a world power. With the start of the war Germany made clear that it planned to invade France through Belgium. Britain, along with Germany and France, had signed a treaty in 1838 guaranteeing the independence and neutrality of Belgium. On August 4 Britain declared war on Germany to protect Belgian neutrality. The rest of the British Empire immediately prepared to send troops. Japan entered the war on the side of the Allies on August 23. Italy decided to remain neutral for the time being, despite its membership in the Triple Alliance. Many Italians favored joining the Allies, to help Italy obtain territories in Austria-Hungary in which people of Italian descent lived. © 2020 Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. 5 of 60 Britannica LaunchPacks | World War I: Key Battles and Events The War During 1914 German infantry advance on the battlefield in France in August 1914. U.S. Department of Defense Wounded soldiers received treatment at a field hospital in France during World War I. Paul Thompson—FPG/Archive Photos/Getty Image All the major powers had war plans designed for quick victories but no plans for a long, drawn-out stalemate. The German Schlieffen Plan—named after Count Alfred von Schlieffen, a noted military strategist—was designed to avoid a long, costly war on two fronts. It called for the German left flank to hold the French army on the Rhine River. The right flank was to sweep through Belgium and northern France toward Paris, the French capital. After defeating France, the Germans then planned to quickly move these troops by rail to the east to defeat Russia. The French had agreed to respect Belgian neutrality. Therefore they could not go through Belgium to attack Germany. Instead they intended to concentrate their troops on the center and right flanks. They then planned to strike a blow against the Rhine front. The Russians planned to drive a wedge between Austria-Hungary and Germany. They then intended to make a direct attack on Berlin. Although all these war plans failed, the German Schlieffen Plan came close to succeeding. The right flank of the German army almost reached Paris but was thrown back by the French in the First Battle of the Marne, one of the few decisive battles of the war. © 2020 Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. 6 of 60 Britannica LaunchPacks | World War I: Key Battles and Events French Defense on the Marne The Germans developed Big Bertha howitzer guns that smashed the Belgian and French forts in 1914. Marc Romanych The French army of about 4 million was practically equal in size to the German army. Only a third of the soldiers, however, were fully trained first-line troops. The French were not surprised that the Germans came through Belgium. What they did not expect was that the Germans would immediately use so many of their reserves as first-line troops. This gave the Germans more effective manpower. French and British troops met the attacking Germans at the Belgian frontier in August. The French were driven back at Charleroi. The British were driven back at Mons. The Germans forced both armies to retreat south. The Western Front lay generally east of the Marne River in France. It hardly wavered in four years. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. By the beginning of September a part of the German army was approaching Paris. Before the Germans were able to move past the city, however, the French attacked the exposed German right flank. They then advanced into a gap that this attack opened between two German armies. The French also counterattacked along the entire front. The First Battle of the Marne was fought September 6–10. The Germans, unable to gain a decisive victory, retreated some 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of the Marne River.

  • “They Shall Not Pass!” Fortifications, from the Séré De Rivières System to the Maginot Line
    VERDUN MEMORIAL - BATTLEFIELD Press release April 2021 Temporary exhibition 3 June 2021 – 17 December 2021 “THEY SHALL NOT PASS!” FORTIFICATIONS, FROM THE SÉRÉ DE RIVIÈRES SYSTEM TO THE MAGINOT LINE To accompany the 1940 commemorations, the Verdun Memorial will be presenting an exhibition on the fortifications in northern and eastern France. The soldiers’ experience is at the heart of the visit: “They shall not pass!” The exhibition traces the development of defensive systems along the frontier between France and Germany, which had historically always been an area of combat with shifting borders. Subject to regular attack, the fortifications were modernised to withstand the increasingly powerful means of destruction resulting from rapid advances in artillery. “They shall not pass!” Fortifications, from the Séré de Rivières System to the Maginot Line, will re-evaluate the role of the Maginot Line in the defeat of June 1940, re-examining the view that it was a mistake inevitably leading to defeat, in particular due to a lack of fighting spirit on the part of the French troops. The exhibition aims to explain the Maginot Line by going back in time and seeing it in relation to the different types of fortification that had appeared following France’s defeat in the Franco- Prussian War in 1870. It traces the development of successive defensive systems and the life of their garrisons, from the Séré de Rivières System of the end of the 19th century, via the Verdun fortification during the First World War, to the Maginot Line (1929-1939), the high point of French defensive engineering.

  • First Battle of the Marne After Invading Belgium and North-Eastern France
    First Battle of the Marne After invading Belgium and north-eastern France during the Battle of Frontiers, the German army had reached within 30 miles of Paris. Their progress had been rapid, giving the French little time to regroup. The First Battle of the Marne was fought between September 6th through the 12th in 1914, with the German advance being brought to a halt, and a stalemate and trench warfare being established as the norm. As the German armies neared Paris, the French capital prepared itself for a siege. The defending French and British forces were at the point of exhaustion, having retreated continuously for 10-12 days under repeated German attack until they had reached the south of the River Marne. Nevertheless, the German forces were close to achieving a breakthrough against the French forces, and were only saved on the 7th of September by the aid of 6,000 French reserve infantry troops brought in from Paris by a convoy of taxi cabs, 600 cabs in all. On September 9th, the German armies began a retreat ordered by the German Chief of Staff Helmuth von Moltke. Moltke feared an Allied breakthrough, plagued by poor communication from his lines at the Marne. The retreating armies were pursued by the French and British, although the pace of the Allied advance was slow - a mere 12 miles in one day. The German armies ceased their withdrawal after 40 miles at a point north of the River Aisne, where the First and Second Armies dug in, preparing trenches that were to last for several years.

  • ON the EFFECTIVE USE of PROXY WARFARE by Andrew Lewis Peek Baltimore, Maryland May 2021 © 2021 Andrew Peek All Rights Reserved
    ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF PROXY WARFARE by Andrew Lewis Peek A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2021 2021 Andrew Peek All rights reserved Abstract This dissertation asks a simple question: how are states most effectively conducting proxy warfare in the modern international system? It answers this question by conducting a comparative study of the sponsorship of proxy forces. It uses process tracing to examine five cases of proxy warfare and predicts that the differentiation in support for each proxy impacts their utility. In particular, it proposes that increasing the principal-agent distance between sponsors and proxies might correlate with strategic effectiveness. That is, the less directly a proxy is supported and controlled by a sponsor, the more effective the proxy becomes. Strategic effectiveness here is conceptualized as consisting of two key parts: a proxy’s operational capability and a sponsor’s plausible deniability. These should be in inverse relation to each other: the greater and more overt a sponsor’s support is to a proxy, the more capable – better armed, better trained – its proxies should be on the battlefield. However, this close support to such proxies should also make the sponsor’s influence less deniable, and thus incur strategic costs against both it and the proxy. These costs primarily consist of external balancing by rival states, the same way such states would balance against conventional aggression. Conversely, the more deniable such support is – the more indirect and less overt – the less balancing occurs.

    Note: Original spelling is retained for this document and all that follow. Appendix 1: Primary source and background documents Document No. 1: Germany's Declaration of War with Russia, August 1, 1914 Presented by the German Ambassador to St. Petersburg The Imperial German Government have used every effort since the beginning of the crisis to bring about a peaceful settlement. In compliance with a wish expressed to him by His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, the German Emperor had undertaken, in concert with Great Britain, the part of mediator between the Cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburg; but Russia, without waiting for any result, proceeded to a general mobilisation of her forces both on land and sea. In consequence of this threatening step, which was not justified by any military proceedings on the part of Germany, the German Empire was faced by a grave and imminent danger. If the German Government had failed to guard against this peril, they would have compromised the safety and the very existence of Germany. The German Government were, therefore, obliged to make representations to the Government of His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias and to insist upon a cessation of the aforesaid military acts. Russia having refused to comply with this demand, and having shown by this refusal that her action was directed against Germany, I have the honour, on the instructions of my Government, to inform your Excellency as follows: His Majesty the Emperor, my august Sovereign, in the name of the German Empire, accepts the challenge, and considers himself at war with Russia.

White, who began his journalism career delivering the Boston Post, entered Har- vard College in 1932 on a newsboy’s schol- arship. He studied Chinese history and Oriental languages. In 1939, he witnessed the bombing of Chungking while freelance reporting on a Sheldon Fellow- ship, and later explained, “Three thousand human beings died; once I’d seen that I knew I wasn’t going home to be a professor.” During the war, White covered East Asia for Time and returned to write Thunder Out of China, a controversial critique of the American-supported Nationalist Chinese government.
