The powers of Austria, Germany, and so on during the lead up to WW1 saw many assassinations of royals and world leaders, which isn't mentioned by "academics" of today. Once a royal was killed, be it France or elsewhere, the goal was to bring in the guise of "democracy" so that the people genuinely thought they had a say and so they accept the ridiculous decisions ruining their nations simply because they've been conned to think there was ever a choice. From France to Russia, we have seen the muder of the leadership and the introduction of so-called "democracy," or the equally deceiving regime of communism. When you ask why WW1 started, look into the black hand and their ilk. The Austrian monarch alone had his wife and nephew killed before attacking Serbia. Even his son died under very suspicious circumstances. If you don't know any of this, then fine. But if you do and still think we should have entered WW1, you literally support terror cells and the destruction of each nation. Our ancestors and those who missed them deserved better than they were offered. Think about how democracy has served us since its introduction (in the last century), and you will realise not a single vote ever prevented the world we have today. 🤝

German Soldiers, WW1

Constitution of the Lacedaemonians, Xenophon:

"So the enemy may see them advancing in a leisurely manner, stepping in time to the music of the flute, with no sign of disorder in their ranks, but rather like men who are performing a sacred dance.

And so, could you watch the scene, you would think all other men mere improvisors in soldiering and the Lacedaemonians the only artists in warfare.”
