ww1 was like a domino effect. it was accidental because of all the alliances the European countries made with each other. it was susposed to be a war between two countries because of the assasination of an Austrian prince. but because of all the alliances all those other countries were dragged in also. ww2 was planned because Germany was out for revenge and wanted to gain their power back.

They were hoping for a war on a much smaller scale, for example, the earlier Balkan wars of 1912 and 1913. In this essay I will discuss both sides of the argument; an accidental war and the planned war. I will then conclude the essay with which side of the argument I believe holds the strongest position.
