      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.
