WW1 was really pretty senseless in the way it was allowed to begin. Europeon alliances just got outta hand, and one mistake lead into another.

World War One started over coal and Iron ore. The background politics was just the excuses for the real reasons.


Yup, and the oligarchs used the anarchists to start the violence, just as they are doing now. It's all about power and control. Wealth itself provides a certain amount of power, politically and economically, once you have the power, then it's about controlling the assets, which include the people.

Communists are all about control and with that control, they get and keep the power and wealth.

Dig back into recorded history and you will find that things have never changed. Doesn't matter what title you put on the masters, it's all about power. Basic human nature.
