The French President had made an agreement (secret and illegal) with Russia about both countries going to war against Germany while on a state visit to Russia. The French wanted revenge for the 1870/1871 war (which France indisputably started) which led to France being kicked out of Western Germany (where France had enjoyed a large influence since the Napoleonic Wars). It wasn't just about Elsass-Lothringen (the Germans didn't even take all of it back -- parts that had become too French due to colonization stayed in French hands). There is no chance France would have stayed peaceful.

@ommsterlitz1805 Blame the Germans (and Austrians) for the extremely dumb war against Denmark/the Duchies of Slesvig and Holstein, blame Prussia for the war against Austria -- but do not blame Germany for the war against France. France indisputably started that one. The rest of your scribbles are just paranoid/Nationalistic fantasies.

I have a really hard time seeing the French, the Russians, the Brits, and the Americans as innocent in that war.

@FiveLiver They were defensive wars, though. Belgium's own bloody fault for trying to prevent Germany from defending itself against France.
