| Summary | "The German Terror in Belgium: An Historical Record" by Arnold J. Toynbee is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The volume focuses on the atrocities committed against civilians during the first months of World War I, particularly in Belgium, as German forces invaded and occupied various territories. The book aims to document and present a coordinated narrative of these events based on firsthand witness accounts and official documents, intending to shed light on the impact of war on civilian life. The opening of the book lays a foundation for its detailed examination of the German military's actions during the invasion of Belgium in August 1914. It highlights systematic violence and terror inflicted upon the civilian population, including executions, arson, and other forms of brutality. Toynbee introduces specific locations and incidents where these actions occurred, emphasizing the deliberate nature of these crimes and the lack of accountability for the perpetrators. Through structured narratives, the opening provides a chilling glimpse into the chaos and devastation experienced by innocent civilians as the war unfolded, setting the stage for a sobering exploration of the historical context and moral implications of wartime conduct.
