He was out the picture at this point

The Kaiser ruined that by involving Germany in a war that didn't involve them at all

The conflict could have been completely avoided

Austria could just invade Serbia and win, Then they would just leave after since they had no plans for annexation, Conflict over

And you don't need a World War

wait, but that was the reason the war happend

You're forgetting Russia's alliance with Serbia

^

Russia wouldn't have intervened with pressure from the Kaiser

you mean the pressure of going to war?

🤷‍♂️

They were childhood friends in the firstplace, The Tsar was on the verge of backing out real life

sure but they still fought

If the Kaiser simply encouraged him to stay out of it i think he would have listened

Especially if Germany was staying out of it too

The alliance wouldn't have made much of a difference given that Serbia would remain independent after the war

Because Austria had been forced by Hungary to not annex Serbia

So the alliance could just continue after

hmm, idk, dont think it was that simple then, but whatever, shit happend. Nothing we can do anything about now anymore

No i am just making the point that the First World War didn't need to happen in the first place and because of our actions in the First World War we caused a Second World War

Millions of lives lost because of France and the UK turning 1 unnecessary war into 2 unnecessary wars

oh I agree, the first world war could have been avoided, I just dont think it was that simple

Think about what would have happened if there was no intervention

Austria invade and takes over, Declares Victory and leaves, Serbia remains independent and goes back to their Alliance with Russia.

Easy

well, a lot of military tech would have not been developed until later, the entire russian revolution could not have happend at all

hell down the line

That's a good thing

we might not even get atomic bombs by 1945 but much later

The Russian Revolution wasn't a good thing

well, a lot of modern civilian tech depends on mil tech developed then

I'd say by the 30s at least there would have been something very similar to WW1

yes but the general impact of that is huge though

the Soviet union was crucial to american behaviour in the cold war

tbh the USSR is bad but Tsarist Russia was jsut a joke

Think about what is avoided though

No WW1, That means Hitler would never rise to power to cause another World War, That leads to no Communist Russia which means no Cold War

3 major conflicts avoided

but how many caused?
