You thought the War was over? You thought wrong. Well, let’s not go that far and just stick to the first World War. In this War, Hell itself broke out and swept across the world, spilling the bloods of 20 millions people, not to mention 20 more millions of wounded people. But why did they die? What is the cause of this War?
The cause of this war goes way back. It all started with the game of Imperialism, where European countries dominating helpless countries all over Africa and southern Asia. And some European countries had more colonies than others, causing other European countries with the lowest colonies to burn with envy, and anger. And this poured the gasoline on the wood, now all we need is the spark of fire. And thank you, Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip, who feared that the next ruler of Austria-Hungry Archduke Ferdinand is going to take over his precious country, and to end his fear he assassinated the poor Archduke and his beloved wife. So this assassination caused the spark of fire, and bringing the unforgiving flames to life. And so, allies were formed, beef was created, and the World War began.
It was possible to avoid this merciless World War, to stop this great destruction, to undo the slaying of the Peace of Europe…yes it was possible. If European countries would share their colonies equally with their fellow neighbors, then all European countries would have equal colonies and no one would get jealous or angry. And then even if the Archduke got assassinated there would be a spark but there won’t be any fire, because there isn’t any gasoline in the woods. And even if the Europeans didn’t share their colonies equally there still would be no war, if the Archduke would have shut his big mouth about colonizing Serbia. If he would have kept the part about controlling Serbia a top secret then he wouldn’t get assassinated by a Serbian nationalist, and there would be no spark, no fire, and defiantly No War.
The rulers of the European countries were blinded by greed, and power. They had pride, and wanted to show off their great military, so they joined this war, and made their citizens join the army by using all sort of propaganda. And it worked, their citizens believed them, they thought this war is nothing, and they’ll be back home...
