What do you think would happen?
@Nathan James 123 thanks tard
my guy Bismark died like 7 years later
even if he was still alive it wouldn't of made much difference
the war escalated because of the Russians threatening Austria hungry 🏃♂️💨
plus he died, what, 17 years before ww1 started? give or take
Would honestly be interesting to see how teddy Roosevelt would’ve interacted with Churchill if it was during ww2
The germans were just doing a pretty standard eastern European land grab. France and britain intervention in it was stupid
Wilhelm 2 totally didn't antagonize Germany's potential rivals by pursuing an aggressive arms and colonial race with Britain and France
WW1 was an expression of failed European imperialism.
Naaaah dude
He dindu nuffin
well he wasn't the cause of the war lol
Yeah building a strong military for his country
He’s so evil
What a fucking idiot
It should have just been the ruso-German war instead of a world war
Trying to promote the country and make it a world power
Right cause the treaty system and Serbia shooting the Austrian prince had no effect on the war actually happening and the scale it went to.
Nope none at all
It was a safe assumption to make, that the July crisis would have the same result as the 1913 crisis
i.e, a a diplomatic settlement
well they did invade Belgium
Pursuing an arms race, that's fucking idiotic because it literally implies that Britain and France are going to be Germany's enemies
Who cares about Belgium?
It doesn't come down to "hehe army big cannon goes boom boom"
And these regional powers aren’t rivals? And or potential enemies?
The fuck kinda world you live in lol
germany and Belgium were regional rivals?
Germany and Britain and France
Sure
Belgium was neutral, Germany invaded it because their doctrine dictated it
fact

Germany and France were enemies before the arms race, do you not remember what the Germans did to France when unifying their country?
It was supposed to be the easiest way to defeat France
im just pointing out that germany wasn't the innocent party in WW1
I hate black people

It probably would have worked if not for British and American intervention
