Answer 1

Based on the speeches of Sir Edward Grey and Kaiser Wilhelm II, both would likely agree with the statement:

**Europe faced a dangerous crisis.**

**Explanation:**
- Sir Edward Grey often highlighted the seriousness and urgency of the situation in Europe leading up to World War I, emphasizing the tensions and potential for conflict.
- Kaiser Wilhelm II also recognized that Europe was in a precarious position, although he might have framed the crisis differently, focusing on the actions of other nations rather than assigning blame directly to Germany.

In contrast, the other statements (blame for the war and ease of achieving peace) reflect differing perspectives that they would not likely agree on.
