The official version
The immediate proximate cause - the casus-belli of the Official Narrative - was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo by a young student, Gavrilo Pricip, acting in concert with a few other members of a small but isolated group of Bosnian Serb nationalists. The assassination is held to have provided a warmongering Germany with an excuse to support Austria in holding the Serbian authorities to account, knowing that in doing so it would provoke France Russia and Britain beyond endurance. In other words, that Germany engineered events in order to to justify pre-planned military aggression and the subjugation of the rest of Europe - and in doing so took everyone by surprise.

A close-knit secretive group of unscrupulous men, whose roots and origins were in Britain, were intent on both defending and expanding Britain's existing Imperial dominance of much of the planet against actual or potential challenge. In the decade or so preceding war, Germany was seen as a serious looming challenge that would have to be dealt with. Vast personal fortunes were involved. The plans of this group were justified in the philosophy of John Ruskin and propagandised in the stirring prose and poetry of Rudyard Kipling. The entire world was to be ruled, through the benign subjugation of lesser races, by an enlightened Anglo-Saxon empire whose functionaries were enjoined to "take up the White Man's burden" [1]. This group of men, organised and tasked in the manner of an elite secret society, deliberately sought and planned for war to crush Germany between France and Russia, and orchestrated events in order to bring this about.
