re: 40 maps that explain WWI.

So my understanding from documentaries I watched is that France and Britain screwed up the world for 100 years. They caused WW2 by not listening to American and demanding severe reparations. Had they been light in punishment like America suggested the German people might of never rose to power.

Then you throw in that they divided up central Europe and the Middle East in ways that would cause wars for 100 years.
