1914

Terrible!

[ele90]

The shape of th world today, the economy, the military, every major armed conflict is a direct result of what happened on June 28th, 1914. The first world war is responsible for all of the problems of the world today. Not 9/11/01, but instead 28/7/14

The royal families of the main 3 european countries: (all of which were imperially royally controlled)

Germany

Britain

Russia

(in order of power)

...were all on good terms with each other. (france was also moderately strong but had no royal family after the revolution)

WW1 only happened after a multi-country criminal group decided to manually create tensions between the 3 main Countries, in the hopes a war would follow, which they benefitted from massively.

WW2 only happened because of WW1.

No world war 1 happened because the black hand(South slav natonalist group) killed francis ferdinand because he wanted to give the south slavs the same rights hungary had in the austro-hungarian empire. This would have hurt south slavic independence movements irreparably. i see you left the hapsburghs out of your list along with the royal family of italy.

[Zebadie69]

hapsburg's of austria were basically germany, and italy wasnt mentioned because it wasn't important enough.

The Black Hand was not what it appeared to be.

The Black Hand was infact an imperialism-hating christian-hating group who later became the Bolsheviks, masquerading as a different cause.

[jmurra03]

seeing as how the italians beat the hell out of the hapsburghs it seems odd to say they didn't matter, you forgot the ottomans too. No the hapsburghs were a different royal family then the hohenzollern. The hohenzollern were more closely related to the house of Windsor. ummm it's hard to have serbs become russians. Especially since the bolsheviks already existed and were not a nationalis group. also the black hand later set up the kingdom of yugoslavia(not commies)

The world war happened because of nationalism.

[Zebadie69]

you mean world war 2 theomagic.

[theomagic]

no i dont, it was nationalism cos the bosnian serb killed that archduke and then russia came in and then germany came in and then france and britain came in.
