Sidney Bradshaw Fay was an American historian whose reexamination of the causes of World War I, The Origins of the World War (1928; revised edition 1930) remains the classic study. Fay left Harvard University (Ph.D. 1900) to study at the Sorbonne and the University of Berlin. He taught at Dartmouth College (1902–14) and Smith College (1914–29), and, after the publication of his major book, at both Harvard and Yale University.

  • Sidney Bradshaw Fay was an American historian whose reexamination of the causes of World War I, The Origins of the World War (1928; revised edition 1930) remains the classic study. Fay left Harvard University (Ph.D. 1900) to study at the Sorbonne and the University of Berlin. He taught at Dartmouth College (1902–14) and Smith College (1914–29), and, after the publication of his major book, at both Harvard and Yale University. Fay's conclusion was that all the European powers shared in the blame, but most of all the system of secret alliances that divided Europe after the Franco-Prussian War into two mutually suspicious camps of group solidarity, Triple Alliance against Triple Entente, but that Austro-Hungary Serbia and Russia were primarily responsible for the immediate cause of war's outbreak. Other forces besides militaristic nationalism were at work: the economics of imperialism and the newspaper press played roles. Fay also wrote The Rise of Brandenburg-Prussia to 1786 (1937). He married (17 August 1904) Sarah Eliza Proctor.
  • Sidney Bradshaw Fay var en amerikansk historiker som utga en undersøkelse av årsakene til første verdenskrig, The Origins of the World War. Fay studerte ved Harvard-universitetet, Sorbonne og universitetet i Berlin. Han underviste ved Dartmouth College 1902–14 og ved Smith College 1914–29, og senere ved både Harvard og Yale-universitetet. I The Origins of the World War konkluderer Fay med at alle de europeiske stormaktene hadde skyld i krigsutbruddet, men spesielt systemet med hemmelige allianser som delte Europa etter den fransk-tyske krigen i to leire. Spesielt mente han at det umiddelbare ansvaret for at krigshandlingene brøt ut tilfalt Østerrike-Ungarn, Serbia og Russland.
