I used to think World War I was a tragic misunderstanding

6. There is a great book I picked off the remainder table at B&N.

It's a book called What if... It takes crucial historical events and plays out what would happen if..

My favorite so far was what if Napoleon was not forced to retreat from America because of their loss of more than 60% of their fighting forces because of Small Pox. They go through and project that Napoleon would not have sold Louisiana if they had been able to hold their Islands.

I'm not to the WWI part yet, but this is really a neat way to enforce history that I took 35 years ago.

On Edit, the did points out that the whole middle east and the oil was one of the main reasons of the Great War as all of the main powers had eyes on the black gold.
