From what I understand WW1 was a shitshow
just a big dumb dick-measuring contest. a war fought over nothing, just an excuse for shitty countries to expand their military and whip up nationalistic fervor in the populace. sick old men making boys murder each other to increase their wealth and power. fuck WWI, what a piece of shit war
17 million dead, 5 monarchies abdicate, 3 empires collapsed. The ruling class couldn't fuck itself (and the rest of us) any harder until it reached another technological level in WWII.
