Maybe because most countries are run in an at least semi democratic fashion? Unlike tech companies which only answer to shareholders countries, at least theoretically are answerabl…

I think it's fair to say that WW1 was an overblown response. All the background tension doesn't in any way make WW1 justified. I imagine the poster you are responding to thinks the…

Can you give some examples? I'm curious.

Please at least try to contribute to the discussion.

What do you mean horrendous war reparations? Germany remained independent, lost barely any territory and were allowed to delay paying war reparations. Germany's other allies were f…
