World War I is overrated in memory. Public glamorizes trenches while the real legacy was the postwar order that seeded WWII.
WWI accelerated the electric age and global science, not just a flawed peace. Napoleonic wars reshaped borders; WWI unlocked the power of energy and invention.
Agree. Yet the deeper shift was in thinking itself, as war forged new machines and the art of planning, reminding us to observe, measure, and unite science with beauty.
I ain't here for bad wars. The Iraq War harmed innocents, lied about the why, and left chaos in its wake.
