The Great War

I’m a student of history, not a professional or expert. But to me, the Great War (aka World War 1) should be erased from history/not have happened.

From what I understand of the war, it was mostly European conflict, over 17 million people died, mainly from poison gas, disease, and other terrible weapons, and in a complex chaotic way further down in time led to World War 2, The Russian Revolutions, and even more deaths, destruction, and terrible weapons (“Der Führer” and Winston Churchill were both Great War veterans, as an example).

With more time and research I could prove my case better. But I think the repercussions from that war can still be felt over 100 years later.
