Abstract

There are persistent myths about every aspect of the Great War of 1914–1918: how it began, how it was won, how it was lost, and how the peace was made. I consider and reject the arguments that the war broke out inadvertently, that the Western front saw needless slaughter, that Germany was starved out of the war by the food weapon, and that the peace treaty that ended the war was the cause of another war.
