Few other typos as well. Communists were in "form" control? And I'm not sure what this sentence is trying to say:
Sorry, I typed that up on my iPhone in a hurry while waiting on my son to drop by for a round of golf.

Thank you.

Most of the shite we've dealt with in the middle east over the past 30 years can be traced to the arbitrary borders drawn up after this war. So stupid how they were determined.

Arbitrary borders plus Israel plus Muslims like to fight each other anyway.

I agree about the borders being pretty arbitrarily drawn up, but muslims have been fighting amongst themselves over Islam and others over Islam v every other religion for centuries prior to this.
They love to jihad, bro.

We’d have been better off if Germany had quickly won

we'd be better off it we occupied germany immediately after wwi and enforced the treaty.
wilson won the nobel prize for forming the league of nations only to have congress block him. the allies screwed up post victory and let the germans run it back smh.

The past 75 years would look a lot different had Ike allowed Patton to cut off the retreating Germans escape and allowed him to take Berlin. Instead Patton was forced to stop and the Russians were allowed to take capitals from Berlin to Prague. Besides the unnecessary loss of life we endured by having to fight Germans we let escape, we’ve spent 75+ years dealing with aftermath of a soviet dominated Eastern Europe. It’s truly mind boggling how we handled the end of the war in Europe.

WWI basically started because everyone was bored and wanted to try out their fancy new military tech.. the horrors of war were a distant memory as there hadn't been a major war in Europe since Napoleon.
WWI also convinced a young Italian named Benito Mussolini to abandon socialism. Above all he hated the European monarchies and thought socialism was the only way to get rid of them. He saw the great war as an opportunity to overthrow them but his fellow socialists were anti-war and kicked him out of the party.
This inspired him to create something new based on unity through nationality instead of class which he called "Fascismo".. which had a few consequences down the line

Fixed your quote to become a prophecy of the near future.

Princip wasn’t aware and just stayed at his post for hours. After leaving the police department, the driver continued on the same route, and the car stalled out right in front of Princip.
I read that Princip did leave his post after the assassination attempt failed. He went to a local sandwich shop to eat, and while eating he noticed a car outside stall out while in reverse with Ferdinand and his wife in the back seat. He walks outside and completed the assassination; thus, changing the world. Btw, Ferdinand and his wife we’re heading to the hospital to visit the injured from the grenade attack, ran into a traffic jam and was attempting to back up to find another route when the car stalled.

The Gods of war has this one planned out well. No matter what happened the Duke was destined to die

Go Google Spanish Flu photos. You'll see plenty of men wearing masks.

You should find your history teacher or professor and slap the shite out of them for failing you so miserably.
