On August 3rd, 1914, Germany declared war on France.
Other than a skirmish the day before, things got going when the Germans invaded Belgium on August 4th as part of their Aufmarsch West II plan. The British had a treaty with Belgium, so they demanded that the Germans march the hell back out. Which the Germans declined to do, so the British Empire entered the war.
Imperial Germany had declared war on Imperial Russia on August 1st. The monarchs of the German, British and Russian empires were all related, which made the First World War a very bloody family fight (except for the French and the Americans, which were republics, and the Japanese Empire, whose monarch was likely not related to anyone outside of Japan).

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

ReplyDeleteYes he did (saint ronnie). I was there. I spent twenty months on the street. I was also one of the very fortunate and very few who won reinstatement due, to management incompetence. Imagine that.
