  1. WW1 was engineered by the Kaiser, who wanted the Austria-Hungarian empire to act against Serbia, in order the have an excuse to occupy Serbia, because of the routing of the Baghdad to Berlin railway. That railway was to be used to transport oil to aid the growth of Germany's industrial base. The A-H empire was not willing to act against Serbia and was badly prepared and equipped for war. The German secret service infiltrated political groups in Bosnia and other areas. In particular they infiltrated a Bosnian-Serb political organisation and used it to assassinate the AH's Archduke Ferdinand thus creating a situation in which the A-H Emperor was manoeuvred into having to act against Serbia. The Germans came in as A-H allies, to further the aims of the German Kaiser, and both attacked Serbia, who fought back hard. Serbia had refused to allow their territory to be used as a route for the German oil railway, which also would have passed through Turkey, Greece, etc. That in turn led to WW1 beginning in the Balkans. The same situation arose in ww2 when Hitler occupied Jugoslavia, Greece, and tried to bring Turkey into the war (they were allies in ww1) also raping Jugoslavia (especially Serbian Kossovo) of vast mineral resources and slaughtering hundreds of thousands. The aim in ww1 and ww2 was to threaten and gain control of oil in the middle east and other vast resources for German industrial and military growth. and defeat the allies fighting the Germans and Turks on many fronts. The Kaiser who was fighting the Russians on the eastern front financed the Bolshevik communists to create revolution in Russia and pull the Russians out of the war in order to concentrate his troops in the west against the allies and the USA. There was a plan and it was the Kaiser and Germany to control, just as Hitler tried and a similar pattern emerges over the Persian Gulf to Germany pipeline which Syria refused to let through its territory.
