"The Myth of a Guilty Nation" by Albert Jay Nock is a historical analysis that questions the widely accepted idea of Germany being entirely to blame for World War I. Nock puts forward the argument that several countries, especially those allied against Germany, bear a significant portion of the responsibility. He points out the negative effects of the Treaty of Versailles, which was founded on the notion of Germany’s exclusive guilt, and highlights how this false attribution of blame has caused continued political and economic turmoil in Europe, harming international trade and relations between the United States and Europe; furthermore, he seeks to reveal diplomatic errors and prejudices that have shaped people's views of the war and its results.

A controversial treaty, built upon the false premise of one nation's sole responsibility, triggered global instability and shaped biased views of a devastating war.
