Ok, so I don't post much, but hey nobody is reading my blog anyway! ^_^
But to the point, I got a book the other day about the world wars. Quite the interesting read actually, it also clears up a common misconception about WWI.
Unlike WWII Germany didn't actually start the war, it was Austro-Hungry that did, they declared war on Serbia for refusing to take responsibility for the actions of a Serbian terrorist group(and they say terrorism is a new problem.) called The Black Hand. This group assassinated the Austro-Hungarian Archduke.
Germany who was allied with Austro-Hungry supported them with supplies and troops, how ever Serbia was allied with Russia, who was allied with France, who was allied with Britain, thus the chain was pulled and WWI began.
