Question from pages 89-91

Would the Irish revolution have been more successful with the 20,000 guns and ammunition in the ship that was scuttled on the way to Ireland?

Anti-Revisionist

I have to agree more with Fritz Fischer because I feel that Germany had too much to do with the starting of the war.  They went ahead and made plans even knowing the risk and they pushed a localized war in hopes that it didn't spark a world war.  Because of these blatent risks in the face of a devastating world war I feel that Germany has to be the most to blame.  I in no way believe that the war is entirely Germany's fault.  There were many other factors in play at the time.  But the actions of Germany prior to World War I are difficult to ignore.  Without the intervention of Germany, the Austria Hungary/ Serbian conflict would not have grown so large, which would not have brought Serbia's ally Russia in, which in turn sparked the mobilization of militaries around Europe.  In my opinion Germany is the most to blame.
