Реферат: By 1914 Imperial Germany Was In A

So to what extent was Germany in a state of crisis by 1914,

certainly a crisis did exist, however, only to the extent that something needed

to be done ? the conservative view that only a coup or a successful war could

have averted the crisis is unfounded. –

Had the govt. introduced direct taxation, reduced naval

spending, and given the SPD a greater say in the govt. of the country by

negotiation, WWI, which ultimately resulted from this crisis, may have been

averted.
