I try reading about the Secret Treaties in Wikipedia, but it’s not super conclusive.

    As a person who has an advanced degree in history—with an emphasis on western military history—let me shed some light on it for you.

    On June 28, 1914, Bosnian-Serb Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz FerdinandHeir to the Throne of Austria-Hungary—(and his wife, Sophie, who matters, we assure you). This IGNITED THE EUROPEAN POWDER KEG. Therefore, pee pee declared war on poo poo, whom then was required to declare war on doo doo, followed by bum bum, wee wee, «word for vulva here», and so on.

    That’s the extent of it. Also the United States entered the war, right after one of their passenger ships was sunk in 1915! (Except they actually didn’t. They didn’t show the fuck up until the war was almost over, in late 1917.)

    I am so glad I was able to pay for school by working instead of going into debt. Because everything I learned is baby-brain bullshit.
