Gottlieb von Jagow

Gottlieb von Jagow
Gottlieb von Jagow (22 June 1863 - 1 January 1935) was a German diplomat. He served as the foreign minister of Germany between January 1913 and 1916.

In the July crisis of 1914, Jagow was confident that an Austro-Serbian war would be localized, and that Russia was not yet prepared for a continental war. This belief was incorrect, and directly led to the outbreak of World War I. After the war, Jagow attributed deeper reasons for the outbreak of war to "...this damned system of alliances."
