My oldest boy, in high school, is finally admitting that history is interesting. He asked why we entered WWI. All I could come up with was unrestricted submarine warfare, the Zimmerman telegram, and ..oh yes, Woodrow Wilson.

We covered my side of the family fighting on the Salonika Front (we’re Serbian), and why the Serbs weren’t golden in starting that war (sorry family). We even covered why the Kaiser wasn’t all bad. I think the worst anybody can pin on him is violating Belgian neutrality, and the King of Belgium was no saint.

Had Kaiser Wilhelm been allowed to remain on the throne, we would not have had to put up with a certain Austrian corporal twenty years down the line.

WWI was one war the US shouldn't have intervened in. Blame Wilson's ideological fanaticism on "spreading the goddess democracy" and his (and his state departments) slavish Anglophilia.
