The Germans almost won though

>>16533749
if they breached it in 1916,yes. by 1918 the country was ready to collapse even by buckbreaking russia

>>16533736
Oh okay great. So Germany should have allowed itself to become diplomatically isolated and economically constricted by powers that wanted it split back up into statelets again. You’re very intelligent and you have a very unique take..

>>16533780
>You’re very intelligent and you have a very unique take..
what a way to display your insecurity unprovoked like that. lmao

>>16533780
Germany had forced Austria to back down before when she didnt feel ready for war.

>>16533749
Yeah, inspite of their shit allies holding them back in every way possible. If the Germans ditched the Habsburgs in favor of the Russians, they could have carved up the decadent Austrians between themselves and have a strong Hungary as their puppet. The German-Russian alliance will then have a huge advantage in all of Eurasia against a possible war with the Anglos and Frogs, practically being unbeatable

I blame those shitalian coward

>>16533736
As opposed to Russia who had no formal ties to the terrorists in Serbia.

You irrationally hate Germans because Germans with their square heads have proto-typical chad features and Germans historically have made you, jews and anglos, feel insecure about your masculinity as the Germans effortlessly smashed you in every lbs for lbs engagement.

France and England had massive strong navies that wwI Italy could never defend itself against. wwI was a pre industrial backwater compared to its state in WWII that actualy had a strong navy at the outbreak of war. Italy joined WWI with the anticipation of not having to do anything and being granted massive boons, the central powers in turn promised jack shit while also requiring Italy to actually have to bankrupt itself in trying to police its coast and fight an Anglo invasion of its colonies and Sicily

>>16534891
You can always tell a weird American writes these because not even German Nationalists sound this retarded

>>16533736
Sorry, but the serboids really did deserve it.

>>16536170
This

>>16533780
Except Germany wouldn't have been diplomatically isolated if it had attracted other allies previously instead.
What actually would have been more useful for Germany?
Austro-Hungary
Or
Italy
Maybe even Romania for the resources.
Why not even Serbia itself? Why would Serbia even want anything to do Russia if they could get everything they wanted from Germany instead?

Why even care about Austro-Hungary?
>muh German brotherhood.
Just a few decades ago Prussia was fighting Austria, and generally pan-ethnic sentiments were just propaganda.

>>16536282
Germany would have been better and in a stronger position if it had carved up Austria Hungary

>>16533736
should've broken ties with Austria over the balkan issue long before the war and cozied up with Russia and Italy instead

>>16536282
>how about… Italy!
Was always going to be more aligned with France and Britain due to its geography.
>Romania? Serbia?
Brilliant. Very smart idea. These tiny statelets that constantly waged war on all of their neighbors would be VERY beneficial for Germany to shackle itself to.
>Germanic brotherhood
Kek, this is what you’re reduced to. Arguing against this bizarre strawman which nobody has said in the thread.
>why even austria hungary?
France was revanchist against Germany. Russia’s economic and geopolitical interests had grown at odds with Germany’s, hence the gradual end of their alliances and pacts. Britain was drifting towards America and becoming more and more adversarial to all European countries with each passing decade. The only other country Germany could have really allied itself with was Spain; the other, other sick man of Europe. Austria Hungary was Germany’s only realnpotential ally in the circumstances.


Lol. My guy. You are like goku looking around for people to fuse with.
>how about.. hercule!!
>how about.. dende!
Nigger just fuse with Begeta and shut the fuck up.

>>16536352
>cozy up to Russia
Great idea, you are a very intelligent person. Now what happens when Russia demands all the economic concessions in the Balkans, and control over the Danube, a major economic artery in your country? What happens now that Russia is stronger than you and can bully the fuck out of you? Enjoy being a satellite state.
>Shitaly
Lol. Lmao, even.

>>16533814
It wouldnt have mattered this time, with the assassination of the heir and Serbia’s brazen and direct insults to the Hapsburgs. You would have to be brain damaged to accept the premise that Austria wouldnt go to war. They wouldnt care if Germany didnt back them this time. They’d do it. Then when russia inevitably beats them up and crushes austria, Germany would be diplomatically isolated.

Which Italy has done to uphold triple alliance

>>16536282

Bismarck started dual alliance since both nations speak German

>>16536524
Not for Germany, Germany was dependant on its large coal exports for its trade and industrialization. The Danube had been irrelevant since the early 1800’s for commerse. Unless you’d like to prove otherwise. Given the Russians the rowdy dirt poor Balkans is worth it for German hegemony in Europe and Africa

>>16536537
>russia inevitably beats them up and crushes austria
>backwater Slav against industrial of A-H and Ottoman
Remember 1905 with Japan?

>>16536524
Italy because warm port for supplies rich oil and resource, anon plus old history as holy roman national

>Given the Russians the rowdy dirt poor Balkans is worth it
It really isn’t, and you haven’t mae a compelling case for that. Like most youtubekiddies, you’ve made plenty of badeless assertions but have not provided any citations.
