WWI was the fatal error that started the disastrous chain of events.

That war was totally avoidable as it was a family feud among relatives.

To send the finest young men of the British Isles off to fight and die or be badly injured or gassed was insane. What was sicker about it was the massive propaganda that convinced them it was the patriotic thing to do.

Those young men were played by an evil Royal Family and rest of the government...and of course we now know it solved nothing...in fact made everything in Europe get a lot lot worse.

It sounds strange today but I recall reading from authoritative sources, that when war broke out in 1914 there was rejoicing and celebration in the streets. Go figure.

I used to resist that idea as regressive BS. But now I am warming towards it.
