More than a hundred years have passed since the outbreak of the First World War, which contemporaries dubbed the Great War. A huge amount of literature devoted to this war has been published in the world, and it continues to excite the minds of people from different countries. In Soviet Russia, this war was forgotten. It was simply erased from the historical process, as if it had never happened. Several pages in history textbooks and popular brochures - that's all that was devoted to this event, which changed the modern world beyond recognition. The increased interest of readers and historians in the problems of the First World War in Russia in recent years indicates that this topic is beginning to emerge from oblivion in our country, gradually taking its rightful place. However, until now, none of our authors have studied the issues of the origin of the First World War, i.e. have not seriously considered the reasons for its outbreak, have not studied the historical path that the countries that unleashed the world war took before crossing arms. This book is the first and so far the only comprehensive study of the causes of the First World War in Russian-language historiography. It is written on the basis of a large number of sources and studies, introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The book does not say a word about the war itself and the military actions. It tells how politicians and diplomats of European states brought the matter to a general conflagration. A distinctive feature of the book is that the author has examined in historical retrospect the path to war of each of the great European states. In the course of the narrative, the reader is presented with images of many rulers, politicians and diplomats, one way or another involved in the outbreak of the world war. The names and portraits of some of them are little known to the Russian reader. All this gives additional appeal to the book offered to the attention of readers. This publication is aimed both at historians and at the general reader interested in issues of world and national history that are little studied in our country.
