    I don’t think they called it World War I back during the Great War.

    “You’re breaking all my arms!” has always made me laugh.

    Blame it on global warming. That’s the hot button diversion of recent years.

    According to the Austrians, it was supposed to last a month; six weeks at the most.

    The problem was that the Russians and the French said, “We already mobilized our armies. It would be a shame not to use them.”

    So Austria declares war on Serbia.

    Russia declares war on Austria

    Germany declares war on Russia

    France declares war on Austria and Germany.

    Great Britain could have sat it out, but decided to jump in with the French

    The Balkan countries choose up sides to settle old scores.

    The Ottomans were dragged into the conflict by the Kaiser who told them he was a Muslim.

    On the other side of the world, Japan had the best fleet in the Pacific at the time and wanted to use it. So they jumped in with England and France.

    Italy had some old scores to settle with Austria so they joined the Entente, too.

    The United States stayed out of it.

    When war was declared in 1914, the United States originally remained neutral while Japan sided with England and France.

    This led to an unusual quirk in history.

    There was a German surface raider (a frigate with a couple of deck guns) operating in the Pacific Ocean. It put into port in Guam to refuel. Guam, being a U. S. possession and therefore also neutral, could not sell war-critical material such as coal to any of the belligerents.

    In the meantime, a couple of Japanese battleships show up off the coast of Guam.

    The German ship was trapped.

    The crew spent the next couple of years as part of Guam’s society with the captain even dining with the governor.

    When the U. S. declared war on April 6, 1917, suddenly the Germans were the enemy.

    The U. S. sent a boat out to the German ship to demand its surrender. The Germans also sent out a boat. The U. S. fired a shot across the bow of the German skiff and it heaved to.

    The Germans stated that if the U. S. would give them until noon the following day, they would surrender the ship without a fight. The U. S. agreed.

    The following morning, the Germans launched all life boats and the ship blew up. The captain had scuttled it. The crew were promptly taken as the first POWs captured by the Americans.

    The first shot in World War I fired by the U. S. was not in France or Belgium or any other place along the Western Front. It was in Guam!

    Wow, now that’s imagination going too far. That’s what you call losing all touch with reality.

    If WW1 dragged on for years, maybe WW2 would have been missed

    It was called the Great War for a reason and WWII is considered by many historians to be just the extension of WWI……

    First, Snoopy says, “OUCH! YOU’RE BREAKING ALL MY ARMS!” Then he says, “OUCH! MY LEG! MY FOOT! MY TOES!!” That fight really had him discombobulated!

    Snoopy, when you’re the World War I Flying Ace, never say World War I except when refering to yourself. Say either yourself or the Great War.

    This is new to me. Our local paper didn’t carry the strip then and I had little access to Sunday Bulletins where I lived then.

    During “The Great War” it was not called “World War I.” (If a time traveler were to go back and call it WWI, it would be awfully depressing to people of that time, as it was seen as “the war to end all wars.”
