Excerpt from Serbia's Part in the War, Vol. 1 Thus, in 1914, Serbia was the one break in the chain of alliances and understandings that stretched from Hamburg to the Persian Gulf. She alone stood between the Central Empires and the realisation of pan-german aspirations, and it was accordingly decreed that the chance crime of Sarayevo should be used as a pretext for her undoing. Had Serbia been left to her own resources, the Great War might have been delayed but it would surely have been fought out at a future date in circumstances much less favourable for democracy. To talk of compromise in the Balkans is to parley with defeat. The Peninsula will necessarily become either a rampart against pan-germanism, or a bridge over which it will pass to Turkey and future conquests in Asia and Africa. Restore anglo-french in¿uence, strengthen the little countries which have made common cause with the Grand Alliance, and pan-germanism will cease to menace the peace of the world. Permit Teuton domination to remain, and few obstacles will stand in the way of the execution of the Prussian programme in its entirety.
