Germany was most responsible for the starting of WW1.

Thanks to Pro for the first argument, here are my rebuttals.R1:" Under the lead of Kaiser Wilhelm, Germany became extremely militaristic. Since 1892, Germans had expected a war with Russia and France, and had actually built a plan of action called the “Schlieffen Plan” to prevent a two-front war. The Schlieffen plan, stated that Germany would first perform a quick, massive attack against France, considered the most dangerous, and then go on to eliminate the Russian forces."Yet note, the Schliffen was only used to avert the threat of a two-front war. Germany was only intending to use the Schliffen Plan if forced to deal with a war on two fronts. Germany was in fact hesitant to such a strategy, they demanded for French neutrality because of that [1], France and Belgium were already mobilizing by that time. France's refusal to declare neutrality gave Germany little choice but the carry out the Scliffen as that was one of the only known strategies for dealing with a two fronts war.

The Moroccan incident and the military race had produced disagreements between Germany and France, while the naval race made Britain suspicious of Germany’s attempt to gain world power and overthrow their Empire."The Weltpolitik was made to avert the threat of war, even it isolated France the policy left Germany diplomatically well-favoured among most of Europe. If anything, the Weltpolitik averted the threat of war rather than increased it [1].Source:1. https://www.citelighter.com...R3:" Germany’s “Blank Cheque” in 1914 encouraged Austria to attack Serbia. This granted Austria “permission” to follow an aggressive behaviour that would knowingly create a conflict with Russia, the protector of the Serbs."The Blank Cheque was only made to preserve the alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary, they did not encourage or discourage Austrian aggression, they merely promised Germany support in whatever policy is pursued. Aside from that, Germany had little role in Austrian aggression.Source:1. http://www.greatwar.co.uk...R4: "Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was murdered by Serb students inside Bosnia-Herzegovina. This incident, as insignificant as it may seem at an international level, was the main trigger for the detonation of the First World War, as it led to the Austrian invasion of Serbia. This supports the fact that Austria was keen to fight a war with the Serbs in order to solve the internal problems they had to face due to nationalism. This is emphasized by the Austrian ultimatum, considered unreasonable as it stated in one of its terms that the Serbs would have to allow Austrian officials inside their territory. This ultimatum can be considered as an excuse for the invasion of Serbia, as Austria’s Berchtold presumed the Serbs would refuse to accept it and it would seem he was determined to destroy the Serbian threat by direct military action."This argument proves my point, WW1 was triggered more a result of Austrian aggression over German militarism. The spark that triggered the war occurred in the Balkans, the diplomatic cerfuffle that resulted later on was kept between Serbia, Austria and Russia for the bulk of the July Crisis. If Germany joined the discussion so late into July, how can they be placed as most responsible? My opponent has indirectly conceded on this part, by acknowledging that what triggered the war primarily came from Austria and Serbia, not from Germany.That ends my rebuttals, onto you pro ;).
