The generals ordering men into the path of machine gun fire. Seeing 10’s of thousand s killed and ordering the same again and again. Dig a trench and wait till the million shells land on you. Sit there and be gassed. What a stupid way to wage war and over what because some cousins on a throne are upset with each other?
Yes, and the Treaty of Versailles led directly to WWII,
less than 2o years later.
Everyone should watch “Paths Of Glory”. Sums up the entire insanity of the war right there.
