You know what really grinds my gears? Teachers who teach that it was all Germany and Austria-Hungary's fault for the start of WWI. Do they not comprehend what they are teaching us?? Do they not look at the information provided?? I really dont get why everyone blames Germany and Austria-Hungary. For starters, Serbia was not going to give up Princip (sp), they guy that shot and killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife. All the Austrian-Hungarians wanted was to get the guy that killed their soon to be leader. Serbia wont give the dude up so they declare war. We all know America and any other country would have done the same thing. Then Germany's all like "We have the Austrian-Hungarian's back" Russia gets pissed off about that so they get into it. Tell me, how is all of this Austiria-Hungary and Germany's fault? If the President or the Queen of England were killed we'd want revenge and if we didnt get to kill the guy that did it, we'd go to war. Its almost like, if the Germans are involved it must be their fault. Well news flash people, JUST BECAUSE THE GERMANS ARE INVOLVED ITS NOT THIER FAULT!

It also grinds my gears when I say all of this to the teacher and he looks at me like Im stupid. And I even asked the teacher why it is that Germany and Austria-Hungary is blamed and he didnt even answer my question. Dude if you are gonna teach something be able to back up what you to or dont even bother.
