Polish myths. Poland is one of the countries that count in the world. [49]
Almost all historians outside Germany and even some german ones agree.
Please cite some...
Your post has nothing to do with the causes for this war and that Germany planned WWI for a decade is plain a lie! And of course you can't bring any sources for that.
(And no, building up a navy is not a declaration of war)

(8) Captain E. N. Bennett, speech at a Union of Democratic Control (11th November, 1920)
The fundamental falsehood on which the Versailles Treaty is built is the theory that Germany was solely and entirely responsible for the war. No fair-minded student of the war and its causes can accept this contention; but the propaganda story of Germany's sole guilt has been preached so persistently from pulpit, Press and Parliament that the bulk of our people have come to regard it as an axiomatic truth which justifies the provisions of the most brutal and unjust Treaty in the world's history.
In short and easy words:
Germany unified in 1871 building a powerful country upsetting the centuries old "balance" between Great Britain and France about who should run the continent.
Germany unused to her muscles and plagued with an idiot of a Kaiser wants also something of what the british Empire and the french Empire already had....getting annoyed by the old bullies rejection of the new kid on the block.
Tensions arose...alliances were build....Europe becomes a powder keg which is lit by a Serb as he assassinated the Archduke.
Austria-Hungary boils and goes to war with Serbia...Serbs run to Russia...Russia mobilizes...Germany is alllied with Austria and declares war and mobilizes and invades Belgium on the way to Paris seeing that as the only way to actually have a fighting chance between GB/France on one side and Russia on the other side...
The rest is history!
