Summary/Abstract: This study wants to give proof of the close connection between army policy and the questions of authority leading to the outbreak of World War I. How did the Austro-Hungarian Empire start the war? How well -prepared for war was the army of the Monarchy in 1914? How did the military preparedness affect the length of the war? What caused the neglect of the Austro-Hungarian army before the Great War? Did the High Command of the Austro-Hungarian Army have any choice between supporting the war or rejecting the conflict?
