Why was no one during WWI willing to just, you know, concede or something? They realized almost immediately how miserable it was and how unable anyone was to break through the others' lines.
>>18120059Where do you think the Communists got their start?
>>18120059Because they wanted a lot out of it.France hoped to permanently destroy germany and austria as rivals on the continent, removing the sword of damocles hanging above them.Russia saw it as a chance to take all of armenia, the straits, galicia, and establish a pan-slavist dominance over the balkansGermany feld squeezed in from both sides and realised that they had a real chance at destroying both. Had Luddy been a little less retarded they probably could've.Austria's goals were internal, using the war as a show of strength, that the empire still had some wind in it.Really the only one with nothing to win was England, which is why the war is remembered so differently than on the continent.The problem arrived in the form of wilson, demanding retarded shit like self determination and popular sovereignty to determine post war borders, which ended up leaving literally everyone dissatisfied.
