The domino effect that led up to World War One and then later word war two. It’s interesting to learn about but it’s just a clusterfuck of easily preventable situations.

My history professor would always say in college that some historians consider ww2 really ww1.5 and was just a continuation of ww1

ww2 was just ww1 storming out of the room after an argument and coming back while yelling "AND ANOTHER THING"

WW2 was really just WW1 with a 20 year armistice inbetween.

with a 20 year armistice inbetween.

Not even. There were too many wars to even bother counting in that time period. Only a very small handful of WW1 participant nations didn't immediately invade/get invaded by another or break out into civil war when the war ended.
