Those points can all be boiled down to one thing: national identity. It's the same as Nam. National identity is the most bullshite way to get people into a war.
WWII was much more than that. It was total reformation of the world as a whole and ideas spreading and eliminating the other train of thought that was present. It was a war of ideas, not nationality. It was to wipe out fascism, communism, democracy, and any group seen as genetically inferior or harmful.
They were all very concrete on specific reasons they were going to war in WWII. WWI was all bullshite and all the troops realized it in the end. This realization WWI was total bullshite led to WWII. WWI is still difficult to understand why it happened, as is Vietnam, but even the dumbest of people can grasp the reasons behind WWII.

You're making the common mistake of failing to look at a historic issue from the perspective of the people who lived it. The reason you can't grasp the meaning of WWI is you can't understand the mindset of society at that time. Until you can set aside the benifit of hindsight, you'll never gain an understanding of history.
BTW, whoever taught youvhistory failed terribly. I say that because of this....
It's factually incorrect. All sides pumped up the ideal of Nationalism. Even the Soviets who claim to be "internationalists", turned their war against Germany into a highly nationalistic war.
