Romanticization of the Central Powers?

While I’m not going to argue with which side was right Or wrong during World War, it is interesting to wonder if the central powers could have won the great war and what would be the outcome of a significant major power victory. The Great war was known to end all wars. Instead, it started another big fight. They are known as ww2. In many respects, the first world war began the modern age we know of it today of contemporary technology and decaying empires dealing with colonial unrest.

The times before the great war or even during the conflict can allow someone to think of a bygone era of imperialism, patriotism, and the remnants of the 19th-century world of progress, monarchy, class consciousness, and hope. If the allies had lost, the world war won rather than an uneasy victory in actual history, and the British Empire, along with her allies, would have declined much sooner than in reality. Some of the British holdings would be granted independence, such as Ireland, while others would be annexed to the German victors. The among of territories gained would, of course, vary on what at

(”Central power romanticism “)

The victories are right from the history book and are perhaps guilty of the harsh restrictions from the treaty of Versailles. It is also interesting to imagine an alternative outcome if the Germans had won the Great War. While the British empire would decline, perhaps the German Empire would be Stronger. The germans, in many ways, were the most prepared of the great powers during the first world and second Wars, so there is an amount of feeling to reward those who were best prepared for those best prepared for a Cataclysm of what humans had feared And hoped for.

The red baron was their best ace during ww1, and Germany had not only to face Russia but France and German simultaneously while the rest of the world would turn against the German people again. The Allies that Germany had were not the equivalent of the might of the french, Russian, or American allied powers musted. In other ways, it's romantic to lose, provided it was a Nobel enough cause

melanie, no need to tag members who are already in a thread just to get a answer.

All wars should not be Romanticize, another example would be the US Civil War i think.

If people can defend the allies during the great war, then they should be allowed to support the central powers. In my opinion, I don't think there should be arguments to say which side was morally right or wrong, as historians try not to debate ethics. I had believed in my schoolboy days that had the driver not missed his turn, world war I would have butterflied away, but given the climate of power, a system of tangled alliances would have clashed once a spark began. Had the great war not existed, the empires would have lived to this day with their colonies and without a lost generation, as I would have preferred a world without a great war. However, the War to end all wars onley allowed one great war to have a second great war that redefined generations to come from its effects.

The allies shouldn't be immune from criticism for their decisions and their choice of leaders; name a couple of disastrous and inhumane decisions by the allied command would be, first and foremost, Gallipoli, Sommes, the Italian theater, and mass concri[tion with next to no training of allied troops sent out as soon as they would be expended in a bloody offensive war of little logic while the germans were well defended in their entrenchments incompetence

A book I strongly recommend anyone to read is the The Myth of the Great War: A New Military History of World War I, Which argues that the allowed leadership was corrupt from the top bottom and its leaders, particularly its military leaders as incompetent. This book points out why the germans were winning the war all along and the British and french were spoonfed lies just to keep the public enthusiastic enough to stay in the fight while the reality was far from the propaganda lies of the allied war machine. The lies we grew up with in the great war While a short reference this teaspoon doesn't compare there were, even more, lies to the story
The five great allied lies purely fabricated by the allies In reality, the British shelled out cities too (though signifcal=tly fewer instances )despite these being allied the British stated they fought for Belgium souveighty as a nation or better yet stated for its existence as a country. www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/678919 I've noticed that Russian world war I war crimes are rarely discussed. research.gold.ac.uk/11072/1/HIS_Watson2014.pdf

To add more on the allies, there was still squabbling about which nation earned the spoils, and Italy is an example of how the allied manipulation led her on and made her think things that were not true.

However, The germans nonetheless committed war crimes. While the allied government censured potential allied war crime charges, the allies' army remained primarily on allied territory and rarely acted as occupiers, which allowed less potential for war crimes to be committed. As for german unrestricted submarine warfare, after a while, the germans stopped after Woodrow Wilson told them to stop History of Germans unrestricted submarine warfare

However, the difference between a submarine blockade and a surface blockade is merchants can’t usually spot submarines because they are underwater. I rarely have noticed general german sympathy for the great war unless when it came to protesting of the harsh terms of the treaty dictated by the allies. However, as the public has become more aware of a counterfactual possibility, Wilson's popularity has plummeted. In the franco Prussian war, the germans were not seen as the bad guys as it was a short war, and the germans became victorious though I wonder how the allies would have been portrayed after a german ww1 victory. Some fairly point out the result of the great war allowed Germany to resort to nazism, giving up their freedoms in exchange for a dictator. However, the allied agitators were wisely sent out to Australia, Canada, America, or other parts of the french empire. The Germans, however, couldn't send the agitators away as it’s pepstruggled to find stability in their excess democracy known as the democratic Weimar Republic

I don't believe german war crimes should be swept under the rug; German militarism, and Austria's hungry are more responsible of the powers and Russia for starting the great war.
