  7. *means A8*
    *says "aj" and "son"*

    Logic. But fine. I had my question, which was not to you, answered and replied. I'm off the thread now. 

  10. This is an essay not a lesson :/

    Plus the bit about WW1 stemming before the shooting of archduke Franz Ferdinand is pretty freaking obvious, the shooting was a fuse to light the pile of gunpowder that had been building. Only people who have never seen the subject don't know that.

    Also a war between France and Germany had already happened in Alsace-Lorraine. So the point about a war being between Germany and France was a bit null, as it had already happened.

  11. I'm being brutally honest when I say this is a bread-and-butter overview of events. Maybe pick something more controversial or original next time, as a suggestion.

  13. I'm not much in love with post-world war two history, but why not. Wouldn't object to a Napoleon theme either...

  14. I second a request for the Mexican American war. That would make for great arguments seeing as how american history portrays mexico as the aggressor and Mexican history states the opposite. It would be interesting to see which side the op would take. DO IT 

  16. Your talking about the Franco Prussian war in 1870-1871 that leads to the creation of the unified German state.

  17. Very interesting read indeed I do actually like how you specifically talked about Britain in itself.

    You should do the the German rat war in 1942

  18. That sounds like a great subject.

  19. Great read OP, keep it up.

    You are right about it triggering an arms race, the cause of WW1 amounts from rising tensions throughout Europe and the Ottoman Empire

    Now that would be a great thread!

  20. Excellent topic, my favorite from Great Britain is Winston Churchill. A lot of upper crust didn't like him but they knew he could motivate people and win the war. Keep up the good work. A man once said, people who don't remember the past are bound to repeat it.
