The question of which country bears the most responsibility for causing World War I continues to be debated by historians. The countries of Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Serbia, Great Britain, and France have all been implicated. Evidence points to each of these countries sharing some responsibility for bringing on the war.
This lesson asks students to determine their answer to who might have been responsible, if anyone, based on a series of primary and secondary sources that investigate the origins of the war. In order to determine responsibility, students will undertake an investigation into four countries, Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Serbia.
