i think there was key people, and i think if kyser ii and the emperor of austria, hungary, i think theape at that time, there were two things that made this downward slide into immense conflict inevitable once it began. one was a system of rival alliances where there's countries committed to come to each other's aid if one country was drawn into the conflict. france and russia, germmy and autre ya were alied. in 1914, all of these countries had fairly small standing army, but enormous armies of reservists, you know, people who had been trained, but had to be mobilized, and it took several weeks to fully mobilize your army, get all the reserrists out of the -- reservists off their farms and factories and reunit them to the front. if you start mobilizing your army before the other guy, you had an advantage. similarly, if you could attack first, that meant that the war would be on the other nation easter story, -- territory, and that's what germany and austria, hungary did, and these were things that sort of accelerated that spread, but if we could rewrite history at will so that things c

germany can i quickly ask you about the latest event we just heard today finally we've heard that austria's largest bank has just failed to pass a stress test now is this an indication that countries that appear to be safe i'm now being exposed to this debt and if so what are the implications here. well i think we've known all along that a lot of banks in europe and in the north would not pass stress tests if these stress tests included the possibility of sovereign default because of course they've got loads of greek and portuguese and spanish debt and so there was never any question that one of the reasons why it might be in germany's interest to bail out greece is that it's if it doesn't it's going to have a banking crisis of its own and will have to bail out its own banks but i think that the judgment of the taxpayer is they'd rather bail out their own banks if they have to then keep on giving money to greeks who may never get to give it back to them really interesting to hear what you have to say thank you so much for joining us there live in cardiff professor patrick linford from cardi

germany and austria hungary were allied. enormous armies of reservists. people who were trained but had to be mobilized. and it took several weeks to fully mobilize your army, get all the reservist off their farms and out of their factories and into uniforms and you know, reunited with their rifles and off to the front. if you could start mobilizing your army before the other guy, you had an advantage. similarly, if you could attack first, that meant the war would be on the other nation's territory and that's what germany and austria-hungary did. and, these were things that sort of accelerated that spread. but if we were able to rewrite history at will, so that things could unfold in a way that i said a moment ago, that, i, you know, i think the war was not inevitable i would have, you know, changed the actions of kaiser wilhelm and emperor france jeff seven of austri austria-hungary. i think then the war might not have happened. not that there wouldn't have been other wars, you know, in europe later on but i don't like thin
