Russia attacking Prussia and Austria-Hungary because Serbians were their allies and so on. Deep down I know these people wanted to attack eachother anyways, and were just waiting for excuse, but what they did is unforgivable.

    Actually, Germany invaded France just because they wanted to. The war between France and Germany would have happened anyway, since the Germans wanted to bash the French so they couldn't be a threat anymore, and since the French wanted to take back the lands they lost in 1870.

    In french schools, young boys were taught that they would have to defend their patry someday, and that Alsace-Lorraine was to be owned by France, and not by Germany.

    But yeah, the war fought by the europeans against the soviets in 1918 was pretty meaningless. Russia was then ruled by a lot of different factions (Europeans, White Russians, Communists, Royalists, Chineses, Japanases. I heard that a german whose father was member of the Teutonic Order even tried to hire an army of mongols, chineses and russians to invade russia, as he though he was the descendant of Genghis Khan)
