Germany in WWI was no more guilty of starting that war than any of the other participants. In fact if blame can be fixed Austria-Hungary is probably most culpable, but their empire was pretty much destroyed & germany with its deeper pockets was left.

The unintended consequences of their treatment afterwards is well known.

What Germany was guilty of was allowing Lenin to return to Russia. 100 million paid for that.

Sorry. Serbia was responsible for supporting the Black Hand, and the Kaiser was responsible for giving Austria-Hungary a “blank check.”

I wonder why everybody always talks about Germany but never mentions Prussia. I mean, how many states get formally dissolved after a war. If there had been no Prussia, there would have been no world wars.
