Question

What country was forced to take the blame for world war 1

Answer 1

Britain was responsible in starting World War 1 because as Germany was forwarding with the Schlieffen plan which was designed by Alfred von Schlieffen, Britain did not tell German Officials that Britain had a treaty with Belgium and would have to intervene if Germany was to invade Belgium (McMeekin).

Answer 2

Even though Germany wanted to avoid the war, Germany was forced to pay reparation for all the war damages that occurred during WWI, resulting in an over-printing of money, a downturn of economy, and combined with what is later known as the Great Depression, a fall-out that led to the rise of the Nazi Regime & Hitler to power.
