The causes WW1 were not the same as WW2. In my opinion Napoleon's conquests were a great contributor to WW1 along with the British, French and German expansion of their empires and fighting over the recourses in Africa

Yes because proxy countries as a cause, empire expansion (Be it British/French or German) and genocide (Belgians/Armenian / non Aryan) are so different 21 years apart.

There are similarities between the two wars. In both wars, a certain group of people were singled out for genocide. In both wars, certain empires were attempting to achieve world domination. The differences between the two wars are that, in the first one, it was more about domination of land and resources and in the second one, it was more about ideologies and creating a communist society.

Arguably the first world war was the last large one that was driven by monarchies rather than governments, so ideologies were more likely to be the forefront.

Sorry blaming the punitive treaty of Versailles is not enough to excuse Germany's behaviour.

Agreed but don't exclude the British from genocide.

you didn't prove me wrong I'm waiting for you to manage that one day, you just doubled down on your stupidity as usual.

I really did mate. You compared a prime slot Nige show of 107,000 against a rolling news channel. I gave you the numbers for the prime slot BBC1 news show that has viewer numbers of 3.5m plus each day. The BBC1 10 o'clock show has figures of c.3.5m too.

I'll let you work out whether 107k is higher or lower than 3.5m

British Army, British east India company (etc) or the british population?

Our Army was starting to improve but yes we had a long history of doing unpleasant stuff.

The improvements were partially due to the Geneva conventions and the rise of organisations like the red cross and newspapers starting to ask why are we killing all these Natives?

The East India company was rather brutal.

The British people were mostly not put in the same situation as the Germans & Russian people were that they had to rat on their fellow citizens based on their race or beliefs.

BBC1 is not a 24 rolling news channel, if we follow your logic if a presenter wears a Rolex watch its the same as owning the Rolex company.

Tripled down on stupidity.

You are aware that BBC News and BBC 1 show the same news programs in prime time news slots like the 10?
