::::''In August 1914, Wilhelm ordered the German army to invade France, triggering World War I. The Allied Powers of France, Russia, and Britain opposed this aggression.'' The ''Kriegsschuldfrage'' (the question who is to fault for the war). Germany wasn't the only nation interested in this war, militaristic factions existed in all major European nations.

OTOH, invading Belgium (a fact with isn't mentioned yet) was a particularly unjustifiable act... | ::::''In August 1914, Wilhelm ordered the German army to invade France, triggering World War I.
