      Might gives right, look at history, it's not a European thing it's human nature.
      Africans were just as brutal, but they didn't develop any technology so their wars was just fought with sticks and stones.

    World War One then known as the Great War, was a turning point in the history of mankind. What made it unique was every nation was involved in this global conflict. The advent of weapons the likes of which were never witnessed caused wanton destruction. The world in its aftermath would never be the same again.

      There are diffrint options about the start of the first World War. Franz Fischer for example has the opinion that Germany is fault, while Nial Ferguson says that GB is fault etc. I don't think that we should blame just one country or one person.
