     @snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @chjara@akko.wtf It didn't help that every major European colonial power had a world domination plan/dream. Also people believed that the war was going to be a quick and simple one that was going to end soon thanks to modern mechanical weapons - by making them powerful they were supposed to discourage people from fighting total wars... Also, who would be stupid enough to fight a total war to destroy the European supply chain that only exists because of interconnected free trade anyway?
