Who started the First World War?

Watch a video review of the most recent and authoritative biography of Sir Edward Grey, the man who took Britain to war in 1914 as Foreign Secretary. Considers the question of whose fault the war was and whether the "war guilt" allegation against Germany is fair. Compares the Prussian military militants with the Scottish political militants in Holyrood today in terms of both groups' preference for conflict rather than the negotiated settlement of disputes.

Was the "war guilt clause" in the Versailles peace treaty in 1919 fair in saying "Germany did it"?

Make you own mind up based on this biography of the man who took Britain to war in defence of the treaty rights of neutral Belgium.
