And also WW1 was horrible for the powers' expansion of their foreign markets. The British empire nearly collapsed cause of WW1 and the Austro-Hungarian empire fell. Many empires fell or lost grip on lots of territory like Germany did.
Yeah, the Great Game is super orderly.
In the Russian revolution soldiers suddenly + unexpectedly revolted and went rebel, shooting their own officers and being tired of getting bossed around. The officers were shocked when they refused to obey after being ordered and seeing their own subjects point their guns to them to shoot.
