Who Would You have Sided with in World War I?
 

Central Powers. I'd try to get in as a German, but I'd probably end up stuck with the Ottomans.

The Allies (aka Entente).

I got no dog in this royal hunt. I'll be Spain, Sweden, or Switzerland and remain neutral. :cool:

You pick some controversial topics Stealth Hunter, I actually placed a vote for Central Powers as the one thing that I didn't approve of was the constant harassment of German shipping by Britain whilst trying to get past England for trade with the rest of the world!:yep:

Damn straight! I voted for the Central Powers because the British entered the Middle-East and stole oil from my Great-Grandfather, Mansour.

Having had a Great Grandfather who gave his life for one side and a Grandfather who fought on the other in the Great War I have to say i'd side with the allies. Not that I think one side was any more good or evil than the other it's just that i could not betray my country. Simple as that.

I don't support either side. It was a pissing contest between governments, idealists, and hopelessly incompetent military leaders that got out of hand and ended up with one hell of a mess.

The Allies.

:yep: Yup it was this war that led to the destruction of the old order, maybe not so bad in itself, but what came after was much worse. Like those lovely fun loving Narzis. On a personal note, this war and the subsequent Greco-Turkish War of 1922 (which my Grandfather fought in) led to the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Greek-speaking Christians, including members of my family, from Asia Minor. Likewise for many Muslims from Greece, though far fewer to begin with. A mess indeed. :down:

And that`s the problem. One of my ancestors fought for Austro-Hungary, the other one was in the Russian army and then White Russian under baron Wrangl. Finally, the last one fought for Wilhelm II.
Generally, I think I`d vote for the Central Powers.

Neither,
After seeying docs about it, and learned more about it
I think its the most stupidist strategic war ever.
there was no honor, there was no heroism, you where meat, meat for the grinder as you went over the top towards them enemy machine guns.

None. "For God and King" is not for me.

Doesn't it end up like that in every war ?

In the aftermath of WW1 i would have sided with my own countrymen to secure our independance, but in the actual war itself i dont see myself siding with any of the factions, though realisticaly i might ahve been conscripted into imperial russias army had i been alive at that time.
As it is said, hindsight is allways 20/20

The thing about war is there are no neutrals. Those that say they wouldn't pick a side would likely have found themselves either drafted or reviled as a coward and shirker.
