Prince Lichnowsky's Memorandum Sparks War Guilt Debate
Prince Lichnowsky, German Ambassador in London 1912–14, declares Berlin bore the blame for the outbreak of war, detailing German actions from the Balkan conflicts to the July Crisis. He accuses the German Cabinet and Kaiser of sacrificing peace for colonial aims and rejects the notion that Britain alone provoked conflict, framing a comprehensive indictment of German policy.
