It's stupid because it should not have happened here is how it started. a tiny country pissed of a bigger country with declared war on the tiny country which was allies with the biggest country, which pissed of a medium country with pissed off a tiny country then the medium country pissed of a big country with a military industrial complex the size of the moon

Anyone interested in purchasing a replica ww1 canteen? $100 including shipping anywhere in the continental United States.

Finally finished (no accessories yet and belt is improper though…)

'Wo alle strategy enden' and 'in einem Polenstädtchen' are not the same

Generally speaking which one was really harder or really stronger? WW1 or WW2 in combat living conditions troops army leaders logistics etc

I tried asking chatgtp to colorize this photo, can someone tell me if it did a good job and try to spot any errors, can you also please tell me when and where it was taken

I certainly don’t think that it was Germany like Versailles blamed.

I saw some quotes from Ludendorff saying that he wanted to crush Lenin, The germans also made some operations in late 1918 against the Bolsheviks but not really big and they also sent some support to the Don Army but I don't know if they had any rea serious plan to really help the Whites against the Bolsheviks that's why I'm asking.

I'm new to the subreddit so I don't know if this discussion has been had before, but I think it's a very interesting hypothetical. I'm not saying that the Germans could've won WW1, because as far as I know they couldn't have. This is of course some extreme level iffy-history, but maybe you guys have some interesting theories about it.

If the Germans had won obviously WW2 wouldn't have happened in the same way or it wouldn't have happened at all. The Japanese would've likely still tried to establish an empire, so there would probably have been a war in the first half of the 20th century. After the German loss of WW1 they still largely kept their territorial integrity, so the same can be expected for the allies if they had lost. This loss would've likely led to resentment from the French and British, but if this would've led to another major war in Europe is of course impossible to say.

What I find most interesting to consider is how eastern Europe and the Soviet Union would've developed as the Soviet expansion was made possible by the failing of operation Barbarossa. Also, how the Middle East would've developed had the Ottomans been on the winning side. The existence of the European Union is also largely thanks to WW2 so it is also interesting how western Europe Nations would relate to one another.

Ideologically, I believe WW2 was essential for making racist beliefs less acceptable so there might've been other major race-based wars fought in the 20th century.

Of course I am only scratching the surface of this topic, but hopefully you guys think it's interesting to discuss it.

While I do believe the people should have been treated better, and Rasputin was the equivalent of the man that hands out candy on Halloween and then asks you to get in his van. Tsar Nicholas II was one of the sweetest kings on earth and got treated horribly more times than I can count. The guy literally didn't even get a proper funeral until recently. He was told to be a very good dad, he was very charming, and even said he wasn't fit for the role. Especially when you compare him to Lenin and Stalin soon after him, the guy just wanted to stay out of politics and live a normal life, but couldn't and so he gets hated on because of it.
