Title: My talk on the Causes of WW1
Post by: KTravlos on 18 March 2015, 05:31:58 PM
For the 100 year anniversary I held a review lecture of the state of findings and ideas on the Causes of World War in the peace-science (international) tradition of the study of International Relations and in sight of the new historiography of the last 4-5 years. Nothing special or rigorous about it (I am political scientist, not a historian, and this is not original research), but I thought some may find it interesting. Plus you get to find out what I look like in real life :p

It was all the fault of the serbs.

Thank you all! You praise is too much I assure you. But I do need to make up for my less than stellar peer- reviewed publication record.  :P

As for the horrible histories! Curses! And I though I was happy! Next time! Next time I tell you! Muahahahahahahaha
