IDK how I stumbled across this, can't speak to its accuracy, but it appears to be a more in depth explanation of the hows and whys of WW1 than anything I ever got in school.
The discussion in here about the hows and whys of the Civil War exposed two very different approaches our schools taught it. Some people, including me, were taught it was all about slavery, others were taught it was because the people in the South felt like they were getting screwed over by legislature. I'm not looking to relittigate that, just pointing out that what You were taught might not be what someone else was.

It's interesting to me because I'm seeing names I have heard about in other books and this is explaining more about those people. Rhodes,Quigley, and a Coupla others I can't pluck outta my brain right now. Mention of the federal Reserve, and other things that I never considered being important to the war.
I'm gonna need to review some of it to get the timeline right, but if you're interested in, not just history, but Important events that set the stage for the way things are today, check this out.
E,I hope you you spend some time with this. I'm betting you know some of these names and the events they were able to bring about.
