Were the old men responsible for WWI the worst human beings that ever walked the Earth?

Question

You can logically argue that the Europeans and Woodrow Wilson created Hitler and the nuclear age. The Fourteen Points were the basis for the armistice. They were nowhere in the Treaty of Versailles.

Answer 1

Only if you could somehow include bush in that group

Answer 2

Actually you can't logically argue that Woodrow Wilson and his 14 points had anything to do with Hitler. Wilson tried to talk Europeans into giving up their imperialistic ways. He tried to get the French and British to not be so heavy handed with the Germans. The British and the French used the League of Nations for their own selfish interests, which was in complete opposition to the ideals that Wilson had wanted to implement in the new world body. The U.S. Congress was so disgusted with all of this, that they refused to allow Wilson to further put America in the middle of all of this.

Answer 3

The old men responsible for WW I were no more responsible at the moment of Versailles. Kaiser Willem was trown out of his country, the Tsar killed, Kaiser Frans Josef dead, the sultan out of power.
Most of the ministers on the allied side where also changed since the starting of the war.

Talking about worst human being I think it was Hitler, Stalin because they killed a lot of people but what about a Attila, ...

Answer 4

That was WW2, the sequel.

Right after WW1 people were already expecting the next. Most did not doubt it would happen.

WW1 was just the result of years of diplomatic fighting that ran out when the duke got shot. That was the perfect pretext to start a war. Kinda like having some planes fly into some buildings.

The world has not changed.

Answer 5

I was always under the impression from studying history in school and beyond that WWII was much worse and more inhumane than WWI ever was.

During WWI, what did not happen was 6+million innocents tortured beyond description and massacred, while few others miraculously survived, under the Pope's command simply becasue they happened to be a different race and religion than was acceptable at the time and they all happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Answer 6

ehem... Europeans and President Wildon created Hitler? That is a new idea.
The "Old men" who fought World War II were some of the best men who ever walked the earth. They fought and died so that you might have the freedoms you enjoy today.

Those who were responsible for starting the war were those who had the foresight to see that Hitler could have easily have conquered the entire world and they had the guts to do something to prevent it.

Plz read your history.

Answer 7

There's plenty of blame to go around for WWI. There is a good bit more for WWII.

My vote for the worst humans in history goes to the ones who sponsored genocide & mass murder like Hitler, Stalin, & Pol Pot.

Answer 8

The Europeans and Wilson, created Hitler? You nitwit!! The germans during the First W.W., they were using gas to kill soldiers!!

Answer 9

WW1 was a direct result of Queen Victoria`s grandchildren especially the Kaiser ( he was the oldest) falling out with his cousins. Jealousy at what his (Royal) cousins were to inherit, that was the the then British Empire and its (especially) naval might.

Answer 10

I think it was young men that assassinated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand that started WWI, not old men.

Answer 11

rethink this one and get your wars right. kaiser wilhelm was in WWI, Adolph Hitler in WWII.
