It's Time to Stop Blaming Germany for WWI

[Red October1984]

I'm no expert on WW1 at all...but from what I understand, Europe was just itching for war. They were building up and somebody wanted it.

It just took a spark.

Germany wasn't even the one who started the war...I've never blamed them for it. But they were punished more than any other Central Power seems like.

It was a Serb who started it I do believe. When Archduke Francis Ferdinand was assassinated....


Germans are always getting blamed for the World Wars seems like...while they did have those dark years of WW2....they weren't all bad. Not every single German was up in arms against the Jews and against France in early WW2....and I'm sure it was the same kind of deal with WW1. There were probably German leaders who didn't want to fight.... I'm not defending the holocaust or anything...but I do think the German point of view on the wars is interesting. And it's interesting to learn about the people from those times in Germany


But I'm no expert and I'm beginning to confuse myself.
