| Summary | "The German War" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work presents a series of essays reflecting on the complexities and motivations behind World War I, particularly focusing on the actions and attitudes of Germany. The text delineates the causes of the war, offering insights into the political landscape and the characteristics of the nations involved, with the aim of clarifying the British perspective on the conflict. The opening of the book sets the stage for the discussion by emphasizing the urgency and necessity of understanding the war's origins. Doyle argues for the clarity of the British cause, delineating a historical backdrop that illustrates Germany's shift from ally to adversary. He discusses the long-standing tensions that developed between Britain and Germany, highlighting pivotal moments such as the Boer War and Germany's naval expansion, which contributed to mutual distrust. In this portion, Doyle seeks to detail the justifications for Britain's involvement in the war while framing the German militaristic mindset as a significant contributor to the conflict, ultimately stoking feelings of resentment that would shape the war's narrative.
