The war was caused partly by a military doomsday machine, devised by war planners. War came about because statesmen lost control over their military machines during an international confrontation. Before the War, Germany’s military leaders faced the difficult strategic problem of preparing for a two-front war. Their solution was to develop a strategy known as the Schlieffen Plan. In an attempt to obtain a quick military decision, Germany employed the Schlieffen Plan at the War’s outbreak. When this quick decision failed to occur, Germany’s leaders found themselves embroiled in a grinding war against a powerful coalition of opposing states.

The peace settlement of 1919 remains a controversy. The international order created by this settlement lasted barely twenty years. The 1919 Versailles settlement failed to establish a stable international order.,In the aftermath of the war, huge changes occurred. The center of wealth transferred from Europe to the United States; the political map of Europe was redrawn; and Germany was left in financial shambles, its people driven to the brink of starvation - a situation that helped lead to the rise of Adolf Hitler and, ultimately, World War Two. On November 11, 1918 Charles issued a statement recognizing the Austrian people's right to determine the form of the state and gave up participation in the State. On November 13, he issued a similar statement for Hungary.
Encouraged by Hungarian nationalists, Charles sought twice in 1921 to reclaim the throne in Hungary, but failed. The Allies had threatened to invade Hungary if Charles regained the throne. Charles left Hungary from the city of Baja. Later in 1921 the Hungarian parliament dethroned the Habsburgs.
On 28 June 1914 the Austro-Hungarian successor to the throne, Arch-Duke Franz Ferdinand, and his wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, were assassinated by a member of a band of Serbian conspirators. On August 1st, 1914 war errupted between Central Powers [Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire] and the Entente [France, Belgium, Great Britain, Italy, Russia and Serbia].History museum in Wien (http://www.panaustria.com/vt/110106/index.html) http://www.panaustria.com/vt/110106/index.htmlhttp://barryobomber.com/resources/otside5s.jpg
