Hey, Weimar rocked! It did really well until the depression destabilized it.

I will give you that Germany was less responsible for WWI than Austria-Hungary, and maybe less than Russia, but it wasn't dragging its feet very much, either.

Neither did Britain, nor France, nor Russia. Europe was spoiling for a war. They just didn't know what they were getting into until it was too late to back out. Most of the people who signed up here in Canada thought it might be over before they got to the battle, and almost everyone thought it would be over by Christmas. Perhaps part of Europe knew better, but I am unaware of whom they were if that was the case.

If Germany had stayed out of Belgium and hadn't got battleship fever then Britain would have stayed out of it and Germany would have won. Germany brought Britain into it by creating a naval threat to an island nation and by steamrollering over a neutral country that depended on that other nation for defense. Britain was an unwilling war participant there. If Germany hadn't tried to get Mexico to take back the Alamo it would have kept the US out too. They'd even have avoid war with Japan (Japan was in the allies in WW1) too, since Japan was only a combatant due to their then defense pact with Britain. Germany should have stayed focused on the East and it might even have won, but WW1 was Germany's war.

I don't think as many countries as said they would have remained neutral actually would have. It's an easy story to tell after the fact, when everyone was reeling from how bad it was.

I agree that Germany had plans in place to make itself an empire, hence their overreaching, but I'm not convinced WWI was their war the same way WWII was. The start of that one was all them and their choices.

Britain genuinely was trying to avoid a war -- or at least some factions were. France, Russia, and Germany all had significant factions pushing hard for one. Austria-Hungary was desperate to bolster its credibility and everyone knew it was going to leap on the first opportunity.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, Britain knew it was well fucked if it came to war. Ireland would rebel (it did), Britain wouldn't be able to feed itself (at one point the island was less than a week away from starvation point), its navy was antiquated and a paper tiger (could only manage a strategic draw, and a tactical loss at the only big naval battle), and on land all it could deploy was Lord Kitchener's mustache. Britain would have given just about anything to not have had WW1.

And let us not forget, if it wasn't for Japan getting a taste of being the Imperial Overlords when they guarded the UK's Pacific Possessions (and took the few German ones under their care too), then the entire Pacific Theater of WW2 might never have happened too. Well done Germany, fucking congrats. All you had to do was not go through Belgium.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh. Sorry for including them in the list, then. I didn't know this, thanks.

Still, most of Europe was spoiling for a war, as far as I know. This wasn't just one country up and deciding one day that they wanted to get in a fight.
