  1. Sleepwalking to Catastrophe? The Origins of the First World War
    Evening
    Course start date:  Tue 23 Sep 2025

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Matthew Powell
    The First World War didn’t erupt overnight—it was the result of decades of tensions, miscalculations, and fatal decisions. This course explores the long-term rivalries, shifting alliances, and short-term crises that led Europe to the brink in 1914. How did political ambitions, military strategies, and diplomatic failures push the world into an unprecedented conflict? Join us as we unravel the complex path to war and ask: was the catastrophe inevitable, or could history have taken a different turn?
