I saw this in the news today. Political side of tumblr does this mean this will invoke a global war?
Certainly not. You see, the great powers of Europe have entered into a series of mutual defense agreements which, should war break out between any two European nations, would require the whole continent to take up arms against each other. No civilised nation would do any such thing, the loss of life incurred would be too great.
Oh, heavens no, this can’t be right! The plan for lasting peace was flawless. But even if war has broken out I’m sure it will be over shortly. Modern weaponry makes a protracted campaign infeasible as the common soldier may simply advance under cover of heavy fire and rapidly overwhelm the enemy.
It will be all over by Christmas, surely!
Such a swift war will surely have no long-lasting negative consequences and the patriotic spirit raised by the war will surely stabilize empires such as Russia and Austria and the Ottomans!
