So I was thinking and I found some similarities between the War of vengeance and World War One.
1. Both started when a major political leader was assassinated and the blame was given to a party that wasn't entirely responsible.
2. Both lasted close to six years
3. Both would have ended much earlier if the groups working "together" had unified from the beginning
4. Both caused the construction of more and more powerful weapons.
5. Rumors where spread through each army that their opponent was running low on resources and manpower.
Does anyone disagree or have any more reasons they are similar.
