Tisza gave in and supported it enthusiastically. Tisza's in many ways a tragic figure (who met a tragic end, as pretty much everyone in this story does). But I can't bring myself to forgive any of the men responsible for this war. If they surely didn't will the outcome, some mistakes are too great for historians to say, "Well, mistakes happen to the best of us."

As my father writes about the origins of the Great War, we understand how the war came about. What we'll never understand is *why?* (Did you read that at the time? It's here. https://www.cosmopolitanglobalist.com/the-first-world-war/)
