Twistory Lesson Vol.1: The Causes Of World War I
I asked Twitter, this is what Twitter told me.
“network of badly written treaties stretched to breaking by terrorism in wrong place at wrong time”
“it was all Frank Ferguson’s fault wasn’t it?”
“Imperialism. Militarism. Nationalism. Assassination. Stubborness. Treaties. Train Timetables. Idiocy.”
“Europe gone ham, yeah baloney meat.”
“Militarized alliances react to each other badly, despite cousins using primitive e-mail system to avert disaster.”
“Railways faster than common sense for the first and last time in history.”
“German military buildup, general tension escalation, unstable situation in north africa at the balkans, BANG Frans Ferdinand.”
“People just got tired and bored of being peaceful.”
I blame Napoleon.
