Having examined the main arguments of revisionist historian Sidney Bradshaw Fay and anti-revisionist historian Fritz Fischer, now it is time to formulate your own perspective. Is Germany primarily responsible for plunging the world into an horrific world war? Were they equally responsible but not primarily responsible? Or were they dragged into the war as a result of their alliance with Austria-Hungary? The facts agree, but the perspectives do not. Which perspective do you feel has more merit?
On your blog, create a post in response to the above questions. Be objective and balanced in explaining your perspective, meaning that you should not only explain why you agree with Fay or Fischer but also explain why you disagree with Fay or Fischer. Use their words and arguments as well as factual information to show how you have formed your own viewpoint, as your post should reflect an understanding of the opposing perspectives. Then, read and comment on at least 3 other blog posts. I am looking forward to reading your blogs!
