The Causes of World War I

This presentation is a brief history of great-power-politics and the results of terrible miscalculation. The reasons the Great War erupted in Europe in 1914, are actually much more complicated and interesting than usually thought.  Certainly there was a sequence of political events that directly led to the fighting, but the underlying causes go much deeper and provide a fascinating context for discussion and debate. Join us for a critical look at the "War to End All Wars", and see how nationalism, imperialism and the web of alliances resulted in one of the most destructive conflicts in history. Presented by: Ken Nesbitt
