Why the First World War Could Have Turned Out Differently

Was Germany's defeat in the First World War inevitable? Holger Afflerbach demonstrates that the war could have ended differently and was precariously balanced for much longer than commonly believed. Since the end of 1914, the German leadership would likely have been willing to accept a compromise peace. However, the advocates of a negotiated peace lacked a partner on the Allied side. As a result, the First World War was prolonged beyond the point that plunged Europe into the catastrophes of the 20th century.

"An engaging and exciting read." - Markus Pöhlmann, Damals
"A fundamental questioning of today's historical-political perception of the First World War." - Herfried Münkler, Die ZEIT.
