Just to give folks an idea, as the 100th anniversary of WWI is coming up a year from July, here's who was involved:



Central Powers:  Orange
Allied Powers:  Green
Fence-sitting pansies:  Grey

[The Good Reverend Roger]

And this ONE guy, Gavrilo Princip, did ALL OF THAT.  Here he is, being arrested after assassinating Archduke Ferdinand for no apparent reason.



A lot of people say that WWI (and thus WWII and the cold war) was inevitable.

But we made it through the cold war without going to war with Russia, which nobody thought was going to be possible.

So it DOES take one spark to set off a powderkeg.  And that one spark was Gavril Princip, and he wrecked the entire world for a hundred years.

What's with all the Guy Fawkes masks?

And none of that could ever happen again. I mean, we don't even have "Arch Dukes" anymore. So we fixed that problem.

They hadnt invented skin yet, so everyone had to wear wood.

It turned out to be really good practice for what you looked like after being hit with mustard gas.

Ireland was neutral. MAP IS WRONG.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

oops, sorry,that was WWII. my bad.

[Cain]

No, Italy was initially neutral but took the side of the Allies in WWI in order to carve out some chunks of territory on the mainland.

Italy in WWII was Germany's ally until the invasion by the Allies.  Mussolini became the leader of a puppet state in Northern Italy called the Republic of Salo, until partisans came and strung him up.

Do you suppose he is laughing or crying there?

I expect he's having a little trouble breathing.  He was probably punched in the gut a few times.

Good.

Just discovered that if my county was an independent country, it would have the second or third highest gun ownership per capita in the world, roughly equivalent (54 per 100 inhabitants, but the number of unlicensed weapons could make it higher) to Yemen and behind only the US.

SHOOT THE GRASS!

Sounds better than what people shoot here now, which is:
- Wild animals for meat
- Wolves and bears because "THEY'RE EATING OUR LIVESTOCK" and apparently Norwegian agriculture will die out if we let those 15 wolves stay alive
- Domesticated animals for insurance fraud purposes.
- Rarely people, even rarer other people.

is there not enough game to accommodate hunting, or is it just considered to be in poor taste over there?

Lots of game, and it's very popular, hunting is cause for most gun ownership here. In some villages and small towns, pretty much the entire (traditionally only the males, but that's changing gradually) population moves out in the woods every autumn for moose hunting season. Hunting for rabbits and a bunch of types of birds is also quite popular.
