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

Cringe

Because the objective inevitably was to kill France off. And they pursued a strategy that going through Belgium would achieve that.

I don’t think anyone could be called innocent or evil in WW1

Yes

They did

In the sense of a world war scenario that they were in

DEBATES ABOUT WW2 ARE FUCKING CRINGE

...

WW1 nat

Good job

lol

WW1 was the result of decades of idiotic power and influence struggles

WORLD WARS

Whatever

Oh ok good one nat lol

Anglos tilt the scales in these . However they are not anglo german wars but Russo german wars.

Not like there the most predominant events of modern history no no no
