    Obligatory “the assassination of archduke Ferdinand didn’t start WW1 because the material conditions and economic systems at the time would have eventually demanded it regardless; the assassination only acted as a catalyst” etc etc

    Still very cool though

      That was never the issue sharkfucker. It was indeed about the fact that it went down exactly like this. Between countries with balanced military might.

      It still started it. Just because you throw a match onto an expanding pool of gasoline surrounded by candles doesn’t mean you didn’t start the fire.
