WWI was a pointless war, 20M dead, brought about by stupid alliances, like the one we have with NATO

Wrong! WWI was started by ethnic rivalries, among other reasons, that NATO has prevented for the past 70 years.

Actually WWI was started by the Serbian gentleman who assassinated the Austrian Arch-Duke.

Kaiser of Germany, Tsar of Russia & King of Britain all were German first cousins.

The leaders and generals in WWI should have been tried, convicted, and executed for gross incompetence.

 

[JWBooth]

But for all those stupid and unprofitable alliances it wouldn't have happened. If A attacks C, B must attack K. For some ridiculous reason it is always about who controls Poland. Fuck Poland.

Poland doesn't have much to do with WW1

Especially considering there was no Poland in WW1.

F#ck Germans they're always looting & shooting.

Germany and Japan were going to do what they did regardless of alliances. Hitler did not think Britain and France would HONOR their alliance with Poland so he invaded.

If alliances had been honored earlier...Hitler would have been stopped when he invaded Czechoslovakia.

In fact had NATO and the UN not existed...The Soviet Union would have gobbled up European states piecemeal until ANOTHER World War would have occurred.

Most of that stems from revisionist history from right after the 2nd world war from people looking for scapegoats to blame for the 2nd.

The Generals were as usual trying to fight the last war early on in the current war, and discounted the lessons of the late US civil war with regards to entrenchment being a viable method of clogging up a war of maneuver.

Defensive firepower was supreme for the first time since castles were in use. The machine gun replaced stone walls as the major factor in the battle between offense and defense.

The armored vehicle was the offense's response.
