Nice post Joe! Well thought out and articulated. As usual as humans we attempt to simplify the complex. War's and their causes are extremely complex and simply stating that this one factor or the other is the root cause is naive in the extreme. |
It also helps to know a little of the history of that time frame. Arms race was maybe eight percent of nothing much. The Kaiser assumed that Great Britain would not get involved so the "arms race" wasn't even a factor.
