100年后,当我们回首一百年前发生的那场战争,会觉得那是一场愚蠢的战争,特别是对欧洲而言。当时的欧洲,虽然在世界范围内互相进行着殖民地的争夺,新旧强国之间也有不满和嫉妒,但从整体上看,欧洲还算是一个大家庭。王室之间的亲戚关系,近百年的欧洲和平盛世,还有各国之间切不断的庞大的经济贸易联系,都值得欧洲人好好珍惜而非主动破坏,战争并非不可避免。然而,战争还是爆发了。这场世界性的大战,起因于欧洲一个偏僻地区的一声枪响。为何本该是和平保障的同盟机制,在这一刻不但没有起到制约纷争的稳定作用,反倒把同盟国家一个个拉进了战场? 100 years later, when we look back at the war that took place a hundred years ago, it would have been a foolish war, especially for Europe. At that time, Europe was dissatisfied and jealous of the old and the new powers, despite being contested with each other all over the world. However, as a whole, Europe is still a big family. The relations between the royal families, the European peace and prosperity in the past century, and the continuous huge economic and trade ties between the two countries all deserve to be cherished by Europeans rather than their own initiative. The war is not inevitable. However, the war broke out. This world war started with a shot in a remote part of Europe. Why should this be an alliance mechanism for the protection of peace, at this moment not only failed to play the stabilizing role of restraining disputes, but instead brought the allies one by one into the battlefield?
