I forget the dudes name, but there were multiple conferences, with people from across the globe, about the powder keg that was Europe prior to WWI. There are numerous references to how Germany's leader was also itching for war, from the other related royals. WWI surprised only the folks who weren't paying attention. The same is true with WWII. The media was hyping that shit for years. Otherwise, why would we have seen things like the 'peace in our time' speech from the PM of the UK?
