I don’t know, except the combatants were stalled in the trenches and Germany was sinking our commercial shipping? It’s a question I’m not interested in dealing with.
Germany’s conditions suitable to an emerging dictator began with the Treaty of Versailles. What led up to WWI doesn’t seem vital at this point.
Wow... there is a certain amount of... umm... ostrichlike irony(?) in that line.
You may want to read some of the world news threads on Free Republic as the events that led up to WWI over 100 years ago are repeating before our very eyes... starting with "Progressive" President Stompy Foot.
