Professor Annika Mombauer presents a paper for the War Studies research group.
About the paper
Annika Mombauer’s new book on the debate on the origins of the First World War surveys more than 100 years of a heated blame game in which historians and politicians on all sides became embroiled in a war of documents and publications. In this talk, she will highlight aspects of this highly emotive controversy and explore why, despite the passing of more than a hundred years, the topic continues to divide opinion.
