German diplomat, State secretary for foreign matters 1913-1916 in direct co-operation with the chancellor Bethmann- Hollweg. Jagow's opinion about the July crisis is very uncertain. Even though he in practise subordinated himself as Chancellor he was still jointly responsible for the unreserved German support for Austria-Hungary against Serbia. Jagow retired in the end of 1916 and published the book " Ursachen und Ausbruch des Weltkrieg (" The World war's Causes and start" 1919) and then he was never more involved in politics.
