addendum (sp)- if the weimar republic would've curbed the aristocratic/junker class' influence, things could've worked out differently...their linkage with the nazi party is what propelled the conflict...

napolean ran all over europe and he is seen as great
while adolf, trying to do germany right, is mister evil
the whole world has a high school level education

 

[Mr. dB]

Since when is Napoleon seen as great?

Kaiser Wilhem made a last minute appeal to the general staff for a way to make a peace deal before the Schlieffen Plan was conducted but the plan was so precise that mobilizing the army didn't allow any deviation from the plan. The common wisdom among historians is that Germany was a warmonger country and even prominent historians of the day made racist comments that the German character was prone to war.

They were late to establish a nation state and likewise late to establishing a colonial empire but it doesn't mean the United States should have supported England over Germany. The United States fought two wars against England and they were the dominant colonial power of recent history...Of course England promoted every avenue to have the United States fight a war in their interest; That's what Saudi Arabia and Israel have been doing. Exactly how was Stalin a better partner than Hitler? The only reason Hitler invaded France was because they guaranteed the sovereignty of Poland...long held German lands; Germany just paid off their Versailles debt to the French...that was a major talking point for the nationalists of the day...


WWII was only inevitable in the sense that Germany has always been squeezed by its neighbors. Napoleon made his reputation on piles of Prussian corpses while they faced Austria-Hungary and Russia. England never had to face the invasions and brutality Germans endured during the Thirty Years War.

The way i understood the Kaiser's last minute appeal is that Moltke had a nervous breakdown at the prospect, and didn't have the balls to make the stop happen, though it wouldn't have been impossible...and i don't think it's racist or wrong to say certain germans were prone/in favor of militancy esp the junker/prussian military class.
and the kaiser was a billergent asshole towards america, making all sorts of threats and his peace offerings were smamry and shit talking...he clearly underestimated the USA and was not a good voice for german peace with america...

I wont defend Kaiser Wilhelm as a leader, dictators are always douche bags, but as John Keegan discusses in his book, "The First World War", Germany was shackled to the corpse of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

I'm biased but I think that Hitler actually gained his political traction, where it mattered, with the Prussian general staff; His concept of lebensraum was to end the threat of the east forever while regaining lands that been held by Prussians since the 18th century until the end of WWI; Nations surrounded by military threats always militarize and act aggressively.

Now, if you say WWII was inevitable when it came to a conflict between the United States and Japan then you have position based on United States policy for about a century but the United States general staff developed two war plans for Asia...One with Japan and the other for a war with the Commonwealth of Great Britain. When the United States decided to become a colonial power in Asia we had to prepare for conflict with other colonial powers in the region.
