  1. WWI wasn't a spontaneous event triggered by an assassination as some make it out to be. Bad blood between Germany and France over the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 became more toxic over time. There were crises popping up all over in Morocco, Bosnia, even the Japanese-Russo War was a harbinger of bigger things to come. People had been talking about the inevitability of war for a while in most of the countries in Europe, definitely in the cafe's, colleges, and political bodies of the main players. France hated Germany, Germany envied Britain, Austria-Hungary feared decline, Russia feared the people, The Ottoman's were dying, and the Brits looked at Germany with a wary eye and tried to figure out how to keep the peace and maintain the proper balance of power on the continent. Too many competing forces acting at the same point in time. And while observers had seen what happens when new technology butts heads with old tactics and the futility of frontal assaults against fortified trenches during the American Civil War they failed to learn the proper lessons from that conflict. Everyone thought the thing would be over in a few months and some sort of new order or stability would be achieved, though they were kinda sketchy on the details. So when you ask the question: "Who was truly to blame?" The answer is everyone, though it was Satan who set the chessboard and watched as a century he could truly call his own came to life.
