Do not forget in your grieves, that the WWII was inevitable. Marshall Foch Commander-in-Chief (Généralissime) of the Allied Armies said after the Versailles peace dictate : "This is not peace but an armistice for 20 years".
There was a yearly renewed military agreement between France and Russia since 1892, in a war France requested Russia's main attack on Germany... but in fact Russian interest was beating the Astro-Hung, annex parts of it then the balkan in the big russian made pan-slav idea.
Years before the war France gave loans to Russia for military expenses and Russia was willing to build railway up to the Austo-Hungarian and Germany's border, and Russia had to sent 3 million soldier to the front after 3 weeks of declaration of war.
28th June Assassination of Crown Prince
24th July Russia Mobilization
28th July Austria-Hungary declare war on Serbia
29th July Austria-Hungary Mobilization
1st August 4 PM France Mobilization
1st August 5 PM Germany Mobilization
Also do not forget that the Austria-Hungary was the less prepared for a war.
Let you tell me one thing, why did the allies(Ru) made conspiracy to kill the Crown Prince, who was the most anti-war party leader in Austria ? (The ruler Franz Joseph was old, he died in 1917.)
Because if they did not kill him, then never come WWI !!!!!!
Wars are nothing else but some greedy businesses of the most rich to become even more rich, cost on the poor.
Respect to the people who were fighting for their family, home, country, peace, for our presence.
Go back this game.
Bismarck, the legendary battleship! Can't wait to see her in action.
She got her name from the best German diplomat in the 19th century.
She was superior to the Hood.
Also have to agree that she was not the best battleship. Well her built purpose was a fast strong ocean Raider. Her hull armor was very strong, but the control rooms, turrets armor should be better.
I read somewhere that her radar system was weaker than the Hoods, so beside of her higher firing range the Hood started the fire.
