This was when any idea of western civilisation died. Within the space of four years, the mighty empires of Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary and Britain would either destroy themselves or sow the seeds of their demise.
This was when the murder of a prince by a revolutionary idealist would plunge Europe into the abyss of self-destruction and taint any idea of moral superiority. When we complain of Africa's problems, were we any different when we cut each other down with machine guns, mustard gas and barbed wire?
This was when the great engines of progress would show their darker side on a level that had never been seen before. There was no grand conspiracy, no plotting, only the arrogance of men who would soak the continent with their own blood.
I'd say that WW1 was what created the modern world.
Adrian Roberts
Yes ww1 more that ww2 ruined the world.
Benjamin Roberts
Damn look at those battlefields. Look like some kind of distant planet. All those shells day and night 24/7. Must have been terrifying
Gabriel Young
Yeah we just built civilization for you guys, enjoy our modern technologies.
No need to thank us, we know we're better than you brown people. We're all going to die anyway it really doesn't matter.

A battle in a forest turned into hand to hand combat and he beaten to death 3 gypo soldiers with his rifle. It wasn't a comfy war, that's for sure.

All of this was thanks to the bottomless greed of the anglos.
Not other european country was allowed to have colonies and the eternal anglo was willing to destroy all of western civilization to make sure of it.
James Roberts
wut
We declared war to save Belgium from Germany invading for no reason whatsoever.
Learn fucking history, Jerome.
Caleb Gomez
And belgium was your responsibility why? I'm sure you would be bitching endlessly if france and germany had attacked england for their invasion of ireland.
The anglo thinks he is the only one allowed to gain territory or colonies, hence he plunged the world in war for his own greed.

What`s the problem user, romanian soldiers refused to feed your gipsy grandfather when he was begging for food on the streets of budapest? Next time we occupy your country we`ll deport you to Kazahstan.
Jeremiah Walker
We really didn't go to war for Belgium... we even planned to invade Belgium ourselves.

Yup. Spot on. WW1 WAS the apoycalpyse. You can see how we're living in a culture of decline by the houses we built and the art we create.

"Put the guns into our hands and we will use them. Give us the slogans and we will turn them into reality. Sing the battle hymns and we will take them up where you left off. Not one not ten not ten thousand not a million not ten millions not a hundred millions but a billion two billions of us all the people of the world we will have the slogans and we will have the hymns and we will have the guns and we will use them and we will live. Make no mistake of it we will live. We will be alive and we will walk and talk and eat and sing and laugh and feel and love and bear our children in tranquility and security in decency in peace. You plan the wars you masters of men plans the wars and point the way and we will point the gun."
Jace King
The problem is with Germany attacking their brother for no reason whatsoever sinc ethe Roman times. Even now stupid Germans are killing the western civilization - this time with kindness and naive empathy. No moderation whatsoever. Fuck you germoney

Hey everyone, Romania and Hungary are fighting. It's somewhat entertaining but, much like WWI, they're not doing much of anything.

Tbh, it was a retarded reason only to uphold our name and not make us look weak.
WWI was a dick swinging contest to see which power was the best and should rule over Europe, except no one really wanted to rule over Europe.
