been playing kaiserreich?

>WWI G*rmans: Gott Mit Uns!
>WWII Germans: Christianity is weak! Muslims are based! Hurr durr let's all be neo-pagans!!
What happened? Did Weimar degeneracy get to them?

And yes I know the "German" "Empire" sided with the Ottomans in WWI, I'm strictly talking about ideologies here (Hitler admired the strength of Islam for example, only embraced Christianity for political purposes)

Fuck, I meant to do G*rmans a second time. Ignore that, don't assume I'm a neo-nazi LARPer faggot

>Mfw People keep on insisting Germany is ever right in WW1 and or WW2
To this day I wonder why didn't Stalin Exterminate the Germans.

The Central powers were wrong though.

And Germany should have been partitioned.

The WW2 "G*rmans" you're talking about are just the deranged drop outs who somehow ended up in charge of the country. The German army still used the slogan during WW2.

Currently playing, and I am convinced that the world would have been much shitier if the Germans had won the Weltkrieg

>AH heir assassinated
>Serbia offers reparations for the crime.
>Germany says it will back AH all the way.
>AH demands vassalization
>Russia says no we have your back Serbia
>Germany declares war on Russia, France, and Belgium
>Germany shoots up Crimea with an 'Ottoman' fleet to draw them into the war
Germany is largely to blame for ww1

Yup because Belgium was just asking for it right? Kys Hans its over

>all these crocodile tears for Belgium, which was viewed as a necessary stepping stone for Germany to have any chance of winning a European war, in a world where a few select empires controlled a large part of the world's surface, wars were literally fought in order to be able to sell drugs in China and France had declared war on Prussia 40 years prior over a petty slight.

>Other nations did bad things so it excuses Germany
I guess in your eyes the depopulation of eastern Prussia by the Soviet Union was justified too.

The empires at the time were acting from their own self-interest and in one way or another most of their actions can be justified, especially something as militarily clear in value as the invasion of Belgium. Events like the rampage in Leuven less so.

The point though is not to justify Germany but to point out the context. Some people seem to want to view Germany in WW1 as simply the big bad, but Germany was in some areas really a fairly progressive state at the time and the morality of all states involved deserves scrutiny. If any single state should be blamed, Germany isn't too bad a choice. Wilhelm II was something of a fuck up in terms of foreign policy and played a large part in setting the stage for the war. But I still find it disheartening how people twist events to make it look even worse. Like posting timelines that exclude things like the Russian mobilisation or like some idiot from some time ago who acted like he knew everything while going on a tirade about German aggression while including obvious errors like stating that France hadn't begun mobilisation at the time of Germany's invasion of Belgium. Having a more open perspective than simply looking Germany as a big bad aggressor and being able to look at interesting perspectives like the war by timetable is so much more rewarding.

>promise not to do something
>do it anyway, and then kill a bunch of noncombatants and burn a bunch of old churches and libraries for good measure
>I can't believe they'd to go to war over a piece of paper

German genocide best day of my life

"Everybody is to blame for WW1 xD" - moral relativism is not an "interesting perspective", it's whitewashing of history.

You can argue with strawmen all you want, I'll be sleeping

>tfw no socialist mosleyite britain

Germany issued the declaration of war and went on the offensive.
They sold ships to the ottomans with German crews to get around neutral port laws.
Those ships then went and shot up Crimea and forced the ottomans into the war.
Germany was warned that violation of the treaty of London ment war with England.
Germany propped up the Austrians so they made unreasonable demands of Serbia because they thought they could win the war.
Germany was overwhelmingly the cause for world War one and the scale it grew to.

Threadly reminder that Britain was the Great Satan of the world, and has been since the treachery of The Long Knives.

They were responsible for countless years of warfare, poverty and mass murder, all to maintain their international status quo, and upon losing it, spat in god's eye one last time, by drawing up fake borders and shoving people into unstable manufactured nations, causing yet more war, famine and genocide.

Threadly reminder that Britain is pure evil.

No good man will be allowed to speak his mind in Britain. Any man of conscience is quickly silenced, by imprisonment or hanging, and so it has always been in Perfidious Albion.

I agree with most of that, except for the part about austria making unreasonable demands. I'm pretty sure they didn't communicate what they were doing with the ultimatum until after it had been delivered.

>No good man will be allowed to speak his mind in Britain. Any man of conscience is quickly silenced, by imprisonment or hanging, and so it has always been in Perfidious Albion.
What a verbose arsehat.
No wonder he lost support amongst the plebs.

Willy I think had a similar admiration of Islam also, he called himself friend of all Muslims and stated his positive views towards Islam, there was a rumour he converted to Islam. He hated Judaism, Buddhism and Shinto though.

It's a paraphrase of "There live not three good men unhanged in England..." from Henry IV.

Because that would make him as bad as the Germans. The Allies had to show the German savages how to be civilized.

>Serbia offers reparations for the crime.
wrong
>AH demands vassalization
wrong
>Germany declares war on Russia, France, and Belgium
Only after Russia built up their troops on German border and started destroying bridges and ordered a general mobilization and after France refused to answer whether they were getting involved and then invaded ten feet into Elsaß-Lothringen.
>Germany shoots up Crimea with an 'Ottoman' fleet to draw them into the war
wrong

Either you're a product of an Entente nation or you're talking out of your ass.

>It's a paraphrase of "There live not three good men unhanged in England..." from Henry IV.
Case in point.

>t. Prole.

I mean it's not a Mosley quote. Stop justifying slovenliness.

>WW1 Krauts: Gott Mit Uns!
>WW2 Krauts: WE WUZ ANCIENT NORDIC ARYANS UND SCHEISSE

>I made one mistake in my life; I should have burned Berlin.

t. Joseph Bonaparte Stalin.

No, still gott mit uns.

Don't blame Weimar for people being retarded to vote for a failed painter famous for self inserting his people in fanfiction.

>being this autistic

you belgians deserved it
t. guy from congo

the situation was a bit trickier. I suggest readin some books or watching the great war series at least on youtube, before shitposting bullshits.

If you were actually using those hands, the Belgians wouldn't have cut them off.

>implying anyone on Veeky Forums doesn't know that

Why did German military followed a bunch of LARPING faggots?

When the feminists take over instead of Mosley.

They still had "Gott mit uns" stamped on their belts just to pander to the Christian audience.

it hurts lads. it hurts bad.

You are right it was not officially vassalization but in essence it was.
>Remove from the Serbian military and civil administration all officers and functionaries whose names the Austro-Hungarian Government will provide.
>Accept in Serbia "representatives of the Austro-Hungarian Government" for the "suppression of subversive movements".
They just want control over the government no big deal.
Also the Germans did force the ottomans into the war.
>The German ships evaded the British fleet and passed through the Dardanelles to reach Constantinople, where they were eventually handed over to the Ottoman Empire. Renamed Yavuz Sultan Selim and Midili, the former Goeben and Breslau were ordered by their German commander to attack Russian positions, in doing so bringing the Ottoman Empire into the war on the side of the Central Powers.
No wonder the fritzes lost the war.

wow you need to brush up on your ww1

What part was incorrect?

That Germany declared war on Russia via the ottomans
It was actually Armenians genocding kurds under Russian orders

"Some historians argue Serbia accepted all of the terms of the ultimatum except for the demand in point 6 that Austrian police be allowed to operate in Serbia."
I'm one of those. It's a shit point to battle for and Serbia deserved what came for them
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_Crisis#Serbian_response_to_the_ultimatum

So you can't read got it.
No wonder you think such stupid things.

And were those demands reasonable? If Serbia accepted them it would be an Austrian satellite. Look at what was demanded, Serbia would be committing suicide by accepting those terms.

So you'll deny the Armenians genoiciding when it fits your narrative, got it

Who is denying the Armenian genocide you fucking moron.
The Armenian genocide started in 1915 the Ottoman ships captain and crewed by Germans attacked Russia in 1914.

I think they actually are, even point 6.

The involvement of Serbian officers in the assassination already shows that elements within the Serbian government are highly sympathetic to the assassins's cause, and therefore can not be relied upon to carry out a proper investigation.

But at the same time, the Austro-Hungarian police would have a similar bias in effect.

They should have worded the point as "have the investigations conducted by a neutral party", and get someone like Sweden or Switzerland to do the investigations.
