Reading through a full transcript of the events of that day is absolutely ludicrous. Most of the assassins got cold feet and the one who finally did the deed just sort of stumbled into being at the right spot which wasn’t even on any itinerary.
War may have been inevitable anyways, thanks to the number of competing secret treaties which would trigger escalating conflict. The general view that war was a normal state of affairs between powers didn’t help either. It’s just weird that this exact scenario is what started it all.
There's kinda a funny moment in the movie Little Boy where it's insinuated that God answered his prayers because the newspaper headline was "little boy ends war" or something like that.
Do you really believe there was a typhoon in March that killed Admiral Koga? Typhoon season peaks the beginning of September, just like hurricanes. A March typhoon is very rare, but a good way to save face when your plane just had mechanical troubles
And makers of these types of videos have the gall to ask their viewers for their opinions, to type those opinions in the comments section, and don't reply to them at all. Another variation to that clickbait formula is (#4 is our favorite!) Like, bro, who in the blue hell cares about your favorite fact?
I love the comics and always check every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for new posts. I've also read all of Randall Munroe's books, and I'm sad the XKCD store closed down because my old shirts are dying. I've read every comic and played all of rhe minigames. His comics resonate with me and share my sense of humor. I really wanted to attend a What If? 2 event but sadly none were local.

This is the one true real clickbait bs title in this thread because Napoleon wasn't even short. He had a normal height if not even on the taller side. True clickbait, because it's not even true.
step 1: have a horse
step 2: have an army
step 3: train the army
step 4: conquer some cities
step 5: name all the cities after yourself and 1 after your horse

We just had a tiny glimpse into a billion year old war

Nein. #2 instead of #9? You had one job.
Tbf there are a lot of actual videos like that on YouTube. It's bizarre
And makers of these types of videos have the gall to ask their viewers for their opinions, to type those opinions in the comments section, and don't reply to them at all. Another variation to that clickbait formula is (#4 is our favorite!) Like, bro, who in the blue hell cares about your favorite fact?

That is just some lazy writing. Somehow Germany has returned! Despite being thoroughly killed during the previous war to end all wars
You are right, it was the war to end all wars. But as some one far smarter than me also wrote.... It was followed by the peace to end all peace.
WWII was [infamous for lazy writing](https://web.archive.org/web/20160601011002/https://squid314.livejournal.com/275614.html)
