Well it clearly should have killed even more cuz most survivors immediately became freikorps and then nazis.

Sadly not all of it, and I don't want to even think what would have looked like had they pointed their armies only outward, 100 vietnams but 50 years early

    There wouldn't even be a WWI if Europeans hadn't colonized the rest of the world. Because Europeans had colonized the world, the rest of the world had to be involved in an otherwise generic European war. That's the real tragedy of WWI. A bunch of colonized subjects died for the sake of some inbred European royal.

      The best thing about WW1 was how many royals it ended up killing. An entire generation of bourgeoisie dilitants doing the full Leroy Jenkins into mustard gas and machine gun fire.

        If your right to rule was ordained by god so much, then why didn't it protect your skull from some peasant manning a Vickers MG?
