If WWIII happened, all the survivors would agree that it was as inevitable as WWI.ConfederateFly said:The American Civil War, WW 1, Napoleonic Wars, and WW 2 were wars that were inevitable. Spanish-American War, Vietnam, and Korea were wars that could have been avoide, but in the Spainish-American War neede to happen b/c the U.S. needed to show the European powers that we were not a push over, Vietnam and Korea needed to happen b/c the U.S. needed to stop the threat of Communism and the Soviet influence.

Most certainly. The Paraguayan War(as it's called here in Brazil) was the direct consequence of Brazilian intervention on the Uruguayan Civil War in 1864. The intervention itself almost didn't happen; it took people really dedicated to screwing up on both the Brazilian and Uruguayan sides. Remove that and you don't get a Triple Alliance. I still think a war between Brazil and Paraguay would happen later, and this would be a war where the odds would be much more favorable to Paraguay.
lol, don't worry about it. To be honest, I think I got the idea from someone who said something along those lines on CTT.Grey Wolf said:A very sane, sensible and highly intelligent comment that I am sure I will plagiarise and use frequently in the future

good chapter man
This is great.
I think that if we had treated the Germans after WWI the way we treated them after WWII, there wouldn't have been a WWII.
After WWII we took away their territory and made them pay reparations. After WWI we didn't take away their territory and we paid them reparations.
