I hope that you've been looking at the series.
Most wars are caused, more or less, by stupid and arrogant miscalculations. That was probably truest for the First World War.
It’s Hard To Top This Kind Of Customized Stupidity

I've been checking them out for a while, looking for pictures with Old NFO in them.
Recently read a history of the lead up to WWI called The Sleepwalkers. Its a look at the various state actors and some others involved with the decisions to go to war. Other than a couple of malevolent lesser players, none of them wanted to go to war. However, they all believed they could safely take the "next step" along the way without starting a war. It was scary to read how easily they fooled themselves.
