When a Serb kills an Austrian in Bosnia, so you, a Japanese admiral, has to ship American guns through Ottoman territory to help the Russians fight Germany:

loll

as a veteran, (NOT TRUE NOT TRUE) i do hate it when the bolsheviks win the russian revolution so now i have to fight in vietnam

good summery of ww1

Yes

Fair point.

Meanwhile….

When a Serb shoots an Austrian in Bosnia, and then Russia gets mad at Austria for threatening Serbia, and then Germany gets mad at Russia for threatening Austria, and then France gets mad at Germany for threatening Russia, and then Germany goes through Luxembourg and Belgium to attack France, thereby making Britan mad, who proceeds to also sic Canada, Japan, and several others at Germany, which eventually gets the U.S. roped in as well.

correction: more indians were killed than englishmen. We had to send so many of our young men for suicidal attacks that didn't benefit us in the slightest

because we got colonised by the British

my great-great grandpa during WWl (But switch out the Englishman for a Lithuanian)
