Abstract

In the eve of the Great War centenary celebrations, Anglo-Saxon historians of the Anglo-Saxon provenance have initiated the issue of revision of the culpability for the War's onset, the culpability being assigned to Serbia, and on the other hand, Austro-Hungarian Empireand Germany being absolved from it. This is non-scientific and tendentious interpretation of historic facts. Revision of culpability for the Great War basically lasts from 1914 and it is by rule of thumb brought to focus almost always during times of great crises, specially in the 20's and 30's of the 20th century, or whenever there was an anniversary of an important Great War event. Alongside the accusations of Nikola Pašić and Serbian Government's culpability the latest proponents of revision of history propose theses that Gavrilo Princip was a terrorist, a forerunner of Osama Bin Laden, and organization Young Bosnia s terrorist association of Serbian nationalist from Bosnia and Herzegovina resembling mAl-Qaeda. Tje most significant representatives of this stream of Anglo-Saxon historiography which is attempting an impermissible modernization of the past are British historians Margaret MacMillan, Christopher Clark, Dennis Hupchick, Sean Mcmeekin and many others
