What caused WW1?

Who is to blame?
>>
Archaic European militarism and a whole bunch of treaties
>>
There's a lot of blame to go around. But mostly Austria-Hungary and Russia.
>>
>>1253670
Don't forget the Belgians for existing
>>
>>1253670
Not to forget Germany.
>>
>>1253687
And France.
>>
>>1253679
Belgium really is a non-country. It should be split up between France, the Netherlands and Germany.
>>
>>1253642
Not only did this piece of shit agitate for war with Serbia for decades before 1914, he also led their army into practically every blunder AH suffered in the war. After the war was over he even admitted he should have been shot for incompetence

How so?

Backing Russia when they were starting shit with Austria-Hungary.

Germany for attacking France for no reason at all (without that a war would have probably kept to the east), and for giving Austria the damned blanko check.
>>
>>1253705

Was Farage right?
>>
>>1253800
>(without that a war would have probably kept to the east)

France was allied with Russia, they wanted the lost territories from the Prussian- France war, they would had attacked if the Germans won't attack first.

Germany simply should had ensured Russia's oe France's neutrality somehow, I don't fucking know how but if Bischmark was able to do it somehow...

Was he better or worse than glorious military genius Enver Pasha?
>>
>>1253816
I am pretty sure it's Bismarks fault Russia chose to leave Germany's alliance in the end.
>okay, you won a great war against your age old enemy but if you Don't drop most of the land you got you will suffer from it.
>also, here's some land for neutral Austria

Obviously it was Serbia's retarded peasant nationalism and ridicilous dreams about muh lost empire.

France has a huge responsibility for WWI perhaps more than anyone else. They had been frothing at the prospect of war for over 40 years as revenge for the Franco-Prussian War. At the same time Russia wanted to finish off the Ottomans and were eager for war also, though part of the blame here goes to the French and British for preventing this from happening in the 19th century.

These were the primary reasons for the Franco-Russian alliance, which caused the big chain of declarations of wars.

At least the turkroach knew when to back down and stop leading troops himself so I say he was better.

By the time the turks jumped in it was already a wwii. But sarakamish has to be the single biggest epic fail of the war

It's not the first offensive on Serbia, Carpathian offensives or battles for Isonzo though. Plenty of dumber shit was happening.
>>
>>1253642
the french funded the black hand to kill the arch duke to cause austria to declare war on serbia to cause russia to declare war on austria to cause germany to declare war on russia to cause france to declare war on germany so that the french can have a jolly good war with the germans

Read a book. Come back and be a bit more specific. We'll discuss and evaluate the factors after you've read up some.
