Arguably more interesting.

WWI is very interesting, but you are missing the main point about world war II. A short egg headed man with a silly mustache managed to almost conquer Europe in 5 years. Also the Jews died and the atomic bomb and the firestorm and stuff.

Yes but WWI involved the French getting their knickers in a twist because they wanted to wear bright red pants instead of camouflage. (I am not making this up.)

So, I had my first day of my history class today.

I don't like this bitch.

The history course I am watching right now is quick, easy and fun...and kind of informative because no history class I ever took tried to do all of humanity with broad strokes.

Then again the French were very reluctant to move away from things like Cavalry charges and other outdated pre-machine gun tactics.

Who wants to know anything about the French?

It's nice to feel superior to someone sometimes.

Point made. Sometimes history DOES serve a purpose! :tongue:

It was the First World War. Everybody was still using outdated tactics. Military uniforms were completely changed following WWI, as so many men died simply because they were easy to see.

History is like multi quoting!! One thing leads to another!! :bigsmile:

I like the way Christmas thinks.

I like making massive quote pyramids because it makes me feel like an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh, who were renowned for their poor internet forum etiquette.
