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.
This post brought to you by the power of boobs. Dear lord them boobs. Amen
Agreed.Arguably more interesting.
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.

Please teach me more about this because I want to giggle some more!
It was in newspapers all across France; angry headlines like "FRANCE ISN'T FRANCE WITHOUT OUR RED PANTALOONS!"Please teach me more about this because I want to giggle some more!
Then again the French were very reluctant to move away from things like Cavalry charges and other outdated pre-machine gun tactics.It was in newspapers all across France; angry headlines like "FRANCE ISN'T FRANCE WITHOUT OUR RED PANTALOONS!"Please teach me more about this because I want to giggle some more!

It's nice to feel superior to someone sometimes.
Point made. Sometimes history DOES serve a purpose!
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
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.Then again the French were very reluctant to move away from things like Cavalry charges and other outdated pre-machine gun tactics.It was in newspapers all across France; angry headlines like "FRANCE ISN'T FRANCE WITHOUT OUR RED PANTALOONS!"Please teach me more about this because I want to giggle some more!
History is like multi quoting!! One thing leads to another!!Nothing annoys me like a multi-multi-multi-quoting.

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.
