SFI: Alternate Explanations The German Question The Eastern Question The Will to Power Sidney Fay Bradshaw Thesis

“The German Question” The creation of a powerful and united Germany upset the traditional balance of power in Europe, leading to World War I/. Donald Kagan tends to this view

“The Eastern Question” The problem of rising nationalism in the decaying Ottoman and Austrian Empires led to World War I

“The Will to Power” Fritz Fischer– a variation of the German Question Germany’s Will to Power—that is, aggressive policies—led to World War I

Sidney Bradshaw Fay Thesis What miscalculations / failures Austria-Hungary Russia Germany France Great Britain
