“…But the main responsibility for the escalation of the conflict falls to Kaiser Wilhelm II, his chancellor, Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg, and the military men around General Helmuth von Moltke, with their ambitious policy of threat, bluff, and blackmail. 67 Clark's views proved less compelling to historians outside of Germany. Among the publications marking the centenary, Max Hastings's Catastrophe is most outspoken about Germany's responsibility for the war; in fact, his unusual position is arguably the most Fischerite of all the most recent interpretations.…”

Historians of the Great War found themselves in high demand in 2014. The looming anniversary naturally prompted publishers to commission titles that were designed to make a splash, cause debate, and spark public interest. The market was consequently flooded with publications that attempted to explain why war had broken out in 1914. Few could have predicted, however, the full extent of public and media interest in World War I. Nor could one have expected that the question of the origins of the war, in particular, would once again be paramount and the subject of widespread, heated debate.

This article offers approaches to the topic of the First World War at the intermediate and advanced levels of the German curriculum through thematically diverse WWI‐era cultural texts. By situating the texts within a multiliteracies framework, the authors demonstrate how this historical and literary content can provide authentic material for foreign language teaching. A model for “reading diagonally” across textual genres and forms, along with suggested texts for intermediate and upper‐level German courses, is presented as a means of building students' literacy skills. The war themes addressed in the texts include the mobilization of children, gender and war, art and propaganda, the discourses of nationalism and patriotism, and war and memory. The article concludes with suggestions for student assessment aligned with literacy learning objectives. The appendix includes an annotated list of useful websites on WWI for German instructors as well as classroom materials for Else Ury's Nesthäkchen im Weltkrieg () and a graphic novel version of Erich Maria Remarque's Im Westen Nichts Neues ().
