WW I, the worst war ever, millions lives thrown away only to cause even more lives to be thrown away 20 years later. For what? Euro Royalty jealousies? It wasn’t our war, Wilson was not a King. They really didn’t go to war over Gavrillo Prinzip, it was a question of empires. All the Royals should have been put in uniforms as privates and sent to the trenches with all their princes and barons etc.. Our screwed up world today has them to thank for it.

We can thank the French for the second world war.The treaty crushed the German people and drove Hitler into power.Just as we can thank the French for Vietnam.

Princip’s got lucky, from stem to stern it was botched operation.

The troops on both sides should have mutinied and shot all of the generals.
