People have criticised Germany's government for not doing enough to commemorate
the World War One centenary.
Germany hasn’t spent as much on events as some other European countries. And the
events which have taken place have been seen as half-hearted by critics.
Traditionally in Germany the First World War is overshadowed by the Second World
War. History teaching in German schools tends to focus on the crimes of the Nazis rather
than what happened a generation earlier.
And since 1945 there's been a strong aversion in Germany to anything that might be
seen as glorifying militarism. So many people here are uncomfortable with any anniversary
of a war or a battle.
There's still some disagreement among historians about who was responsible for World War
One. But having spent the last 70 years atoning for Nazi guilt, many Germans have little
appetite to now take on the blame for the First World War, too.
