"The Crime Against Europe: A Possible Outcome of the War of 1914" by Roger Casement is a pre-World War I analysis of the political forces driving Europe towards conflict. Drawing from his historical understanding and experiences in the consular service, Casement investigates the intricate motivations behind the great powers' actions. According to him, the story argues that the growing tensions came from political motives and alliances, not just military ones. He examines the pre-war relationships between Britain, France, and Russia against Germany, emphasizing how each country's thirst for resources and power played a crucial role in setting the stage for the impending war. Casement aims to cut through the simplifications of the mainstream explanation of the war, advocating for a deeper look into the web of international relationships.
