In July 1914, World War I broke out internationally. Germany invaded neutral Belgium within two months at the beginning of the war. In order to create public opinion for the rationalization of German military operations, 93 people, including outstanding German natural scientists, artists, writers and priests, jointly signed a statement, The Book to the Civilized World, also known as the Declaration of 93 People. This infamous declaration and its influence occupy an important place in the history of human culture and science. In this paper, firstly, the specific contents of the Declaration of 93 People are translated, and then the names of the signatories are listed one by one. Finally, the background and influence of the Declaration are briefly summarized.
