Germany SHOULD be blamed for the outcome of World War I

There are no universal rules for debate. org, most people like to set there own rules or limitations of how they want there debate to go, or setting outlines for how the opposition will have to prove their side of the debate. With that being said I ask you to disprove my arguments and use your arguments to counter mine and further prove not why Germany is fault for World War I. And so it begins (:I believe that Germany is at fault for the outcome of World War I for three things. Their great dislike of France and eagerness for war, their failed war strategies (Specifically the Schleiffen Plan) and unrestricted submarine warfare, and finally their eagerness to fight and their disregard for other Countries during the war places the fault entirely on themselves. Germany's dislike of FranceEver since and before the Franco-Prussian war France and Germany have had an immense feud. This feud was the reason for the FP war, the reason for Germany to declare war on France, and the reason for France to humiliate Germany within the treaty of Versailles. This humiliation would be Hitler's recourse to fuel Germany into World War II. Germany even had a plan if they were ever to engage in war with France again. The fact that they planned ahead for a war that they thought was inevitable shows a distrust on both sides. Anyway, the Schlieffin plan was created so that they could get France out of the war early and focus on defeating Russia in the eastern front. The plan failed, and in the end, caused Britain's entry into the war. There dislike for France only made things worse for them. Both Russia and Britain had attempted to make peace, but Germany was determined to fight. Failed War Strategies and Unrestricted Submarine Warfare Originally Germany had planned to get France out of a war early with the Schlieffen plan. This plan was to cut through Belgium and flank France from the north, catching them off guard, and enabling a swifter end to the war. However this plan backfired. Britain was angered that Germany had invaded a neutral country. At first Britain had issued an ultimatum, saying that Germany would have to leave Belgium, or Britain would enter the war. However, Germany disregarded this ultimatum, and Britain was entered into the war. This was not Belgium's or Frances fault, Germany had completely ignored the fact that Britain would be entering the war, making it harder for Germany. Germany however did not adapt to this idea at all. President Woodrow Wilson had asked Germany to stop sinking American ships, because the U. S was not directly involved in this war. Germany accepted this, but re-instated Submarine warfare later, thus causing the United States entry into the Great war. Germany's disregard allowed for Britain and the U. S to enter the war. They could have simply abridged to their requests, but instead, ignored them, causing more trouble for themselves. Finally, Germany's Disregard during the WarYou have heard already that Germany disregarded many other countries during the war. You have heard that this caused the entry of other large countries. And of course, all of this was entirely Germany's fault. They were not in a defensive state of mind. The craved a war with France and Germany, their only made it worse for them, and in the end, they are at fault.
