"David Reynolds argues that it was the frenetic politicking and brutality of the fighting in 1918 that sowed the seeds of the even bloodier Second World War just 20 years later."

Such anti-American, pro-enemy revisionism popped up quite a bit this year. The origin of the wars with the same enemy goes back at least to the 1800s and probably long before.

Here is Germany
(much about some of the wars that led to WW2)

I agree, though the program is still pretty good in detailing Ludendorf’s mental breakdown.

The seeds of WW1 go back to at least 1805 and probably 1796 as it was the French Revolution that led to Napoleon and the Napoleonic wars that were the Genesis of the Franco-Prussian War which was the precursor to both World War 1 and the Russian Revolution and then WW2

Not that I want to blame everything bad that’s happened in the last 250 years on the French but, well, there it is.

Interesting vid — there are some useful truths in there, along with some pretty heavy handed quasi-globalist propaganda, including among other goodies, the inclusion of the Soviets in the “peace loving nations of the world”. Uh-huh.

Still, as I consider the Germans, and I’m of German ancestry who fled Germany several generations ago to come to the US... Modern Germans are defanged from military conquest, but I surmise their “tradition of freedom”, despite our efforts after WW2, is weak indeed. This weakness just manifests itself a bit differently, in the people, and government, now.

You are confused, did you even watch the video?
There was nothing "anti-American" about it.

The video does not discuss the First World War's beginnings, only its ending as prelude to the Second World War.
