Thats the thing about WW1 and why its a tragedy anon, thats exactly what happened. All those alliances being triggered made enemies of countries who were not enemies prior to this, or at the very least, were not ever intending to go to war, and threw everyone into war over bumfuck nowhere being friends with different giant factions.
The Ottoman empire collapsed because they had to fight Britian over being on different sides of an alliance, the Austro Hungarian empire collapsed because it had to get involved in a war it could not afford due to an alliance, Russia ushered in communism after the white army got butt blasted in a war they should never have been involved in and came home to find a revolution because the war had drained the country. WW1 is the turning point in history, not WW2, and it was all triggered over alliances, thats why WW1 is tragic, there is no heroes or defeating the big bad guy with WW1, everyone started fighting over 2 retards fighting behind the dumpster.
