SECTION ONE: BACKGROUND

The seeds of World War One were not nurtured amid lofty principles of liberty, religious freedom, or
from a need to topple cruel kings or despots. It was a conflict conceived in smoke-filled board rooms,
political office spaces, stock exchanges and banks on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and carried to
term by various parties who stood to gain politically or financially. Birthed into the waiting arms of
jealousy, politics and greed, it was a banal, vile creation, an artificially inseminated monster that
maimed and murdered a generation of young men and laid a direct pathway to another war.
To achieve this goal, motivations and villains had to be artificially crafted.
What ensued was the largest ethnic assault in human history.
