    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.
