World War I

When the World War I set Europe and the other nations of
the world on flames including the American public opinion,
soon began under the influence of the war prejudice and
propaganda the denouncement of the German army and the
Kaiser as they were held responsible for the outbreak of the
World War I. However, many writers and historians across the
world have failed to give in or join the chorus. The historical
sense of many writers and historians have told them that in
the present case or in the past, not just country or just one
man was solely responsible for the outbreak of such an
epidemic and holocaust which left the entire world into shatters
and upheavals.
A little study and the speculations of the various diplomatic
documents like the White, Yellow, Blue, and Orange pieces of
literature which were earlier issued by the English, French,
German and Russian Governments; had convinced the writers
of the world that these diplomatic documents were not relevant
and reliable enough to come to the conclusion of holding
Germany and a single person as the sole responsibility of
aggravating the warlike situations in the World during the phase
of the World War I.
However, the new socialist governments of Austria and
Germany in 1919 had published a very complete and reliable
collection of diplomatic documents from the secret archives
which were related to the diplomatic crisis of July 1914; and
seemed reliable enough to provide the information or materials
for reaching some tentative point of opinion or conclusion about
the possible and immediate causes of the World War I. The
American Historical Review which was published during the
time of 1920-21 called to the attention of the scholars from
worldwide that there was a need to reconsider the opinions or
conclusions that were formed during the heat of the battle as
to the immediate causes of the World War I and the ones
who were responsible for causing it. The publication of more
diplomatic documents during this era especially from the
sources of the Russian province, along with the refusal of the
British and the French governments to issue any completed
documents or convincing records of their conduct during the
time of July, 1914; there rose a group of writers and literature
experts in history who demanded the revision of the clause in
the Treaty of Versailles which declared that Germany and some
of its allies were responsible for the outbreak of the World War
I. Some of the writers especially the anti-Poincare writers or the
revisionists in France, the final opinion or the conclusion was in
danger of swinging as far as the golden meaning of the
historical truth were formerly followed in the path of the great
historians.
