The assassination (in Sarajevo, Bosnia) was more an event which sparked ww1 not the cause of it. The treaties involving the two major factions in Europe to help each other were signed years before 1914. Germany had also been involved in a naval arms race with Britain for decades. And territorial disputes between France and Germany over the Alsace region, Italy with the Trentino etc. So war was inevitable, they just needed an excuse. Every country was making their own preparations for it.

@Peglegkickboxer 5 ай бұрын

This. Nobody wanted Germany to advance further because they were a terrifying military power but they had no access to oil which was the one thing that crippled them. Germany was building a railway from Berlin to Baghdad. The first British battalion deployed in WW1 was in Basrah, Iraq and the railway was also bombed.

Many modern historians believe that the war was indeed not inevitable as once flaunted. For example the morocco crisis before could have very easily sparked such a world war but was resolved peacefully. As well as the Balkan wars were close to starting war when Russia considered mobilizing to take Constantinople leading up to ww1. I would agree the assassination was not a very important event at the time. No one thought it would lead to the world war but it did, and at several points the war could have been avoided. It was not like the Germans actually wanted a war, the Austrians certainly wanted a war but against Serbia, None of the citizens wanted a war, but once it happened they put full support behind their respective sides. Even the respective "leaders" the kaiser and tsar were very hesitant, Wilhelm was sent to his yacht to avoid his interference and the tsar famously went back and forth until the generals stopped listening and just went with mobilization.

@hampusheh 5 ай бұрын

No war is inevitable. One of the big problems is that all major players FELT it was inevitable, and therefor took no serious steps to mitigate the crisis in july 1914. WW1 could have been settled like any other Balkan dispute. But you're right that there were underlying causes, but there always are those. It didn't have to turn into a major war the way it did. France and Germany could have duked it out like they did 1870.

WW1 was not over anything. It was a result of imperialism which is the highest stage of capitalism. If it didn't happen over the death of Prince Ferdinand it would have been over something else. Just like the conflict in Ukraine, the US wanted it to happen for the past 30 years, they wanted to get it by hook or by crook. The NATO bases moved closer and closer to Russia, they poked the bear one too many times.

My great grandfather, William Downes fought in WW1. He was part of the Durham Light Infantry and saw action in The Somme and Ypres. He was mustard gassed but survived and came home. It was horrendous conditions and the war was the bridge to modern warfare, where tanks were created and used for the first time and there was aircraft combat. If anyone is interested in WW1 watch Peter Jacksons, They Shall Not Grow Old. It's a fantastic glimpse into what it was like.

I would argue that it’s the other way around: you don’t get the insights that Shane and other comedians get without being deeply curious and/or introspective. They amplify insights in a way that resonates with people, which means they have to package something insightful in a novel way, and with comedy specifically, they have to make it look natural or accidental (in Shane’s case).

I watched All Quiet on the Western Front and have been reading a lot about WW1 recently and it was truly a terrifying war. The idea of going over the top to take a trench in no man's land which looks like hell is quite horrifying I mean it is not a coincidence that Tolkien got a lot of his inspiration for middle earth from fighting in the war. The Battle of Verdun is such a terrifying battle and hearing about people drowning in mud is crazy. The worst thing about the war is the idea that technology can outpace human ability and it is a reminder that in a society that is getting technologically advanced so quick we might not have a way to combat these killing machines we've created.

@@RedRedMCmusicGoya was a famous painter, he actually had colorful pieces that were even owned by the Royal Family of Spain. But then the Napoleonic Wars happened. Napoleon walked into Spain with the excuse of invading Portugal, which of course resulted in the invasion of Spain. While in occupation the civilians in Madrid rebelled against the french troops. Of course this went horribly for the civilians. Goya witnessed the monstrosity of the acts of the french against the Spanish civilians. After this he secluded to his home and slowly went mad while losing his senses (hearing, sight) and while in seclusion he created the Dark Paintings. Depictions of witches, demons and atrocities that reflected the horrors he saw and lived.

@@dant3175 I think that's sort of a distorted perspective...on a distorted perspective. I get what you mean, I think, and yes, war is definitely one of the most extreme experiences you can have, but to say that some combat veteran below the age of 20 knows more about life than someone in their 50s just seems wrong. War likely teaches certain things really hard and fast, but its extremeness also means that it's pretty limited when it comes to teaching many other, more commonly shared things in life. Furthermore, I'm sure what a young combat veteran thinks he knows about life after one tour is different from what an older combat veteran with multiple tours, then several years out of war to reflect, knows about life, so age is still a factor. To put it another way, while I'd love to listen to and learn from your example of an 18-year-old Ukrainian kid who's seen combat, I think I'd end up learning a lot more from some average Joe who's had multiple jobs, lived in different places, and had children, then grandchildren.

He was one of the last masters and one of the first modern artist. Some of his work looks like impressionist if you see the dabs of paint. If you study deeper you’ll see that the paintings of witches were done for a woman that didn’t believe in superstition. Look at his Caprichos series. “El sueño de la razón produce monstruos” which translates to “ The sleep of reason produces monsters” There’s a lot of satire.

He’s more versed than the average American, but that’s not saying much. The British empire started WWI to destroy the prosperous and soon to be powerful Germany. If you’re interested in the actual world changing events, Read- Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War Or listen to James Corbett and his guest discuss the book on- The Corbett Report. History is written by the victors- the Roman/British/American empire. That doesn’t make their stories true.

Pretty much. Germany was a fairly new country, all the old European dynasties fully expected a war with this 'upstart', it was brewing for a long time and everyone knew it. Serbia and Austria-Hungary were basically irrelevant backwaters at that point but they provided the excuse to settle old scores with 'legal' justification.

I don't think anyone even wanted the war. Russia had to protect the Balkans. Germany had to appear to be on side with UK/ France but UK/ France were literally on the side of Russia. So Germany kinda got squeezed. They wanted to attack the Balkans but weren't too bothered but there was too much posturing and eventually the armies that had been amassed just had to get used. UK/ France were trying to ask Russia to chill. Germany was trying to ask UK/ France to chill. UK/ France/ Russia were trying to get Germany to chill. It just didn't need to happen. Basically, if there is ever trouble in the Balkans everyone should just step back and let it happen.
