| | Bismarck, first Prime Minister of Prussia and then Chancellor of the German Empire (once he had assembled it), set about the construction of Germany through high politics judiciously assisted by war against Austria and France. | | | The events of July and early August 1914 are a classic case of "one thing led to another" - otherwise known as the treaty alliance system. | | | A year later, in 1915, Italy did enter the First World War, as an ally of Britain, France and Russia. |

| | The United States was as woefully unprepared this time as last: On the eve of World War II, Farwell points out, the American army "only slightly exceeded in size that of Portugal and ranked 13th among the armies of the world." (There’s the intriguing Portugal factor again.) | | | It ranked sixteenth among the world’s armies, just behind Portugal, and remained as a secretary of the Army had described it six years earlier, "a profoundly peaceful army." The U.S. Navy at the outbreak of the war was less emaciated, though its combatant vessels were mostly undermanned and less than ship-shape. | | | Beyond the financial and materiel aid provided during the first two years of war, the most critical role the Allies envisioned for America was to supply manpower. |
