Who Caused World War 1?

Beginning with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Dr Annika Mombauer explores the opposing debates about the origins of World War One. Is it possible for historians to arrive at a consensus?

Finding the answer to this question has exercised historians for 100 years, and arriving at a convincing consensus has proved impossible.
