The Friedensturm may well have stalled because of the German capture of the British Supply depots. The germans nelieve it failed because there was no way to communicate with the the troops who were out of touch with their commanders. The germans also "left behind" a miilion troops occupying their eastern conquests. Had more of those been sent west who knows what might have happened. These veteran troops in place of the of the green units thrown into combat could have brought different results.>

I believe that once the Serbian army was mobilized during the period in which the Ultimatum was being considered, there was absolutely no chance of preventing war. It was the first pebble in an avalanche which could not be controlled.
