        Eh. Germany weren’t the colossal dickheads in WWI that they were in WWII. Frankly most of Europe had a part to play in sparking the first one.

            A bunch of inbred royal fucks beefing over turf.

            Which aptly describes basically every war in European history, honestly.

          Kaiser Wilhelm was:

          Expansionist and irredentist

          Fervently anti-democracy

          Rabidly anti-semitic

          Trying to secure overseas colonies to exploit for resources

          The Third Reich was the Second Reich without a noble class to fuck things up with inbreeding. It’s hardly surprising, a culture can’t change completely in the span of a couple decades.

          I don’t think I wanna find out how they would ramp up to the third try if the right wing takes over again.
