>can'teven stop Bolivia and Paraguay from fighting each other What a useless organization. The pre-1914 Great Powers were better except for (Great Britain)
>>18754757>except for (Great Britain)obsessed
>>18754946GB's meddling in continental affairs led to WWI
>>18755140>GB's meddling in continental affairs led to WWIwhat meddling? They probably did the least meddling in Europe because their primary focus was in the Near East and Asia.
>>18755140This. The A-H empire should have hung Serb govt officials for weeks, but the bongs wanted war instead.
In order for something like League of Nations to work all countries have to be entered in it or otherwise it’s an ineffective and useless mouthpiece for western nations like the current UN basically is.
>>18755178>what is the Great GameNigger you're in a history forum. You have no excuse to be this illiterate
>>18755271You mean the thing they had resolved woth Russia almost a decade before ww1 and which was also not in Europe?
>>18755275>not in EuropeKek>resolvedMega kek. They just shifted targets from Russia to Germany.
>Americans faces when they helped found an international organization that they didn't even bother joining themselves lmao get pranked IDIOTS
>>18755284>>not in Europe>KekAt most it stretched to the bosporus, and the heart of the Great Game was always in the Near East and Central Asia >GermanyThe Anglo-German Rivalry contributed to the build up towards ww1 but the outbreak of war itself had more to do with the Austro-Russian rivalry than anything Britain did.
>>18755544The bongs wanted war with Germany, they just wanted everybody else to fight it. They waited all Summer and helped gin it up (quiet assurances that they'd support them, despite their faux neutral stance), then after they were all committed the bongs jumped in.
>>18755834Britain was barely paying attention to continental affairs in late 1914 because they were busy dealing with the home rule crisis in ireland and one of the largest strike waves in British history. You can literally just check hansard, there's barely any discussion of the Serbia or Austria there until the last week of July. >helped gin it upLord Grey, the Foreign Secretary, was one of the people most involved in the efforts to deescalate the July Crisis.
>>18755248Why did Austria-Hungary demand a council formed in the concert of Europe to delay war with Serbia if Austria just wanted war with Serbia?
>>18755834>The bongs wanted war with GermanyDo you have anything to back up this claim? The only reason Britian declared war on Germany in the first world war is because Germany violated Belgium neutrality. Why did Germany do that if they didn't want war with Germany?
>the belgium questionto preclude any arguments about whether or not Britain was going to join the war with or without Belgium and that Belgium was just an excuse, that still isn't the same thing as saying Britain was responsible for the war as by that point the war had been going on for almost an entire week.
>>18756851>The only reason Britian declared war on Germany in the first world war is because Germany violated Belgium neutralityI've got a bridge to sell you. The bongs joined the Entente, formed to war with Germany. The bongs began pulling military assets from Asia in the 19th century, to prep for their desired war with Germany. Afterall, Germany had now surpassed them economically. That can't stand! So the bongs sided with greasy Serbia, who had shot the archduke and deserved to be thrashed. If their guy got shot, the bongs would be outraged and demand blood, but perfidious Albion never let principle get in the way of power. Once the frogs and rooshians dived in, it was safe, so they did. Belgium... kek
>>18756849The ah empire was seeking justice for a crime. How they do that is rightly up to them, but an act of war can elicit war immediately, unless the bongs and their buds intervene.
>>18756840>there's barely any discussion of the Serbia or Austria there until the last week of July.Why would there be? It was classic perfidious albion perfidy. Not for broadcast, as they wanted others to take the blame for the war they wanted. Ireland was going on for centuries, and strikes were global wide at that time. You're reaching.
>>18756926Then they should have declared war immediately rather than willingly submit to the council of Europe that they originally proposed.
>>18756923I bet you have sources to substantiate your claims yes?>The bongs joined the EntenteAfter Belgian neutrality was ignored. Funny how you ignored the main problem of how Germany just violated a soverign nations border who had nothing to do with the war
>>18756970Up to them, lad. Just because the Serbs commit an act of war doesn't mean war has to start now. Up to ah how it goes, unless bongs and company stick their shoots in.
>>18756980If you're ignorant of what I'm posting here, you don't know much of this, lad. In any case, do your own research. The bongs, frogs and murderous Belgians shouldn't have much standing in matters of law, to say no more.
>>18756985Why do you keep ignoring how Austria-Hungary LET OTHER NATIONS IN TO INVESTIGATE? What do you think the Concert of Europe is you retard? Austria-Hungary invited them in to deliberate. If they wanted war they should have declared war why forcibly make it other nations problems?
>>18756992You say all this, the whats and whens, but you're an uneducated kid. A crime was committed. Ah decides the what's and when's, including war. You'll pardon them if they ignored your wise counsel.
>>18755140>Russia blatantly fucking around with Austria-Hungary >"Rrrreeee dah Anglos!!" why is this
>>18756930>Ireland was going on for centuries,Except it actually literally already triggered a British constitutional reform this time and a power struggle between the HoC and HoL. Irish Home Rule nationalism was a lot more organized and politically powerful than any previous Irish rebellion that could be put down by force.
>>18756840Wtf is thisDimitrijevič should be at the very top of all this, cunt was an actual menace
>>18757176That only came about AFTER the bongs precipated WW1. The eire idiocy prewar was proforma eire idiocy.
>>18757190I didn't make it, its a /his/ meme from last decade that I had on hand, and i don't agree with every part of it either.
>>18756930Do you even know what hansard is or how the british government works?
>>18757237You're deflecting and distracting. And, pushing perfidious albion's lies of a century ago into today. Sorry, no sale. The bongs wanted war with Germany, planned for it, and got it.
>>18757219https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Rule_crisishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspensory_Act_1914https://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/1913-third-home-rule-bill-house-commons.ampAll before WWI
>>18757241Ok you don't know what hansard is then could have just said that
>>18757260Yes, the usual proforma eire idiocy, as mentioned. The bongs jawjacking, as they're wont to do. But the real action was in 1917 as we know, after the bongs precipitated WW1. Bong historiography is so empty and full of lies. Churchill said it best. He'd write the history to suit him.
>>18757266I ignore your repeated distractions, lad. It's best for you.
>>18757268what country are you from?
>>18757267"Usual Eire idiocy" which resulted in an armed uprising and full blown civil war and subsequent independence, lol sure
>>18756996Austria Hungary went to the other nations for council retard.
>>18757241And you are denying evidence and context to situations. Nothing is in a vacuum. There are no isolated incidents between nations. You can seethe all you want but this is a fact
>>18757167The Russians too, not excusing them. Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary and France should have unironically united against the Anglo-Russian menace to peace in Europe.
>>18757279I ignore your distractions, lad. It's best for you.
>>18757318Right, AFTER the bongs precipitated WW1, not before.
>>18757329Right. Ah decided, ignoring your wise counsel.
>>18757355>evidenceYou mean, perfidious albion's century old lies, which you mouth a century later.
>>18758025Home Rule had been a going concern since Parnell in the 1880s and caused a huge rift between the Commons and the Lords. The Parliament Act of 1908 was a direct result of the government trying to break the Home Rule deadlock.The Irish Nationalists were supportive of the government in the run up to WWI and open republicanism wasn't very popular even after the Easter Rising. The real turning point was the conscription crisis in 1917
>>18758049Just the typical eire idiocy though. Just the bongs squabbling internally over it. It was a great distraction, while quietly they worked to get war with Germany.
>>18758028>>18758031I accept your concession
>>18756840Reminder that the Kaiser did literally nothing wrong
>>18755140>look what those Britishers made us do!!!!!
even if there was a widespread sentiment in britain in favour of war with Germany, and i believe there was, this doesn't suddenly make Britain more responsible for starting the war than, say, the Austrians or the Russians.
>>18754756community notes - the LON was dissolved because the nippers said fuck youand now the same shit is happening at the UNimagine bunch of shithole islamic countries heading the human rights council
>>18758143No, I, too, reject your wise counsel, zoomie.
>>18758506The Russians, frogs and bongs share all the blame. AH was following the law, after an act of war was committed on them. The above 3 didn't give a fuck about the law, only power and wealth.
>>18758658Because you cannot lie or squirm your way out of it.>>18758695Austria Hungary should of just declared war instead of going to the council of Europe then. Why do you keep ignoring this fact that Austria Hungary made the first move for peace instead of war?
>>18758802They and I reject your wise counsel, zoomie.
>>18758870Rejection of truth is what the blind say to the one eyed man. Remain blind all you want in your ignorance
>>18754756well they created åland atleast
>>18754756no different from UN reallyadmittedly they raped the voting system once in 1950 when it came to Korea, but ever did that againcouldn;t do anything to somalis and rwandans kek
>>18758802>should of
>>18760574Shoulda coulda woulda sorry no refunds. Austria-Hungary just made the wrong choice to pretend to make peace and going to war instead of just going directly to war
>>18755248>>18755140>>18756849Anglo-German secret alliance almost happen as Russia influence grow in Persia
>>18760787That's one of the lies perfidious Albion would proffer, yes. The bongs want frogs and Russians at war with Germany. Simple.
what causes britain to live rent free in so many peoples heads they haven't been relevant for decades.
>>18762587Only because Eisenhower finally put a bullet through the bong brain.
