No need to get snooty. Yes, it was in WW1 that at least one football match took place between the trenches in France, but I thought it was a good example of how similar Europeans are (that single example demonstrates same religion and same sport interests, but the similarities go much further than that).
You say WW2 in Europe was an ideological war? Based on what? The Germans had a go at building an empire, just like the British and French and Austro-Hungarians did. Nothing new in that.
