@onefugowie they didn't get their ass kicked ;) they lost yea, but the allied suffered heavy casualties both times

@Evilfisher, more along lines of 3/4 of German forces were always committed to the brutual Eastern front, and while defense looks good in newsreel they just didn't have the resources to run a defense on two fronts

@m1grand70 it was a bosnian serb nationalist, gavrillo princip, part of nationalist group wanting to get out of austro-hungarian empire who killed franz ferdinand. austria responded by attacking serbia with german consent, & this caused the russians to mobilize & kicked off alliances into war. the smaller entente alliances are interesting but mostly overlooked as focus is naturally on main players, but serbia,belgium,japan,greece,ro
mania,portugal all drawn in to war against central powers. -
@onefugowie well, actually many people mistake the germans for starting ww1. Serbia started ww1 by killing the austrian president but the germans did play a big role in sort of making ww1 into a world war. and yes, the germans fought well but they still got their asses kicked.
