According to Erich Ludendorff, and he had much knowledge about this, it were the Catholic Curch and the Freemasons who started the mess known as the Great War.
Their helpless instrument was General Helmuth von Moltke, as Ludendorff ascertains. But the Kaiser may also have been under their spell.
The Catholics? Yay!
I was reading Haig's diaries t'other week, and he's got a specific animus against Catholics because of the Pope's failed peace deals (and doubtless Ireland to a lesser extent), even distrusting officers who are Catholic as peaceniks. So it's good to see that while one side thought we started the war, the other side thought we were too wussy to see it through.
