      The Crimean War, the American Civil War, and the First World War existed in the unholy intersection of “modern weaponry” and “we still charge at each other line by line like gentlemen”https://twitter.com/Shake1n1bake/status/1343963887494946822 …

      that's why a lot of wars though, WWI was just when the technology had made war especially awful. Like, The wars of German unification were over Schleswig-Holstein and Bismark hurting Napoleon III's feefees

      Side note: the Crimean War was just pure unbridled stupidity, a war so dumb that Russia sued for peace and everyone was like “oh thank god” and tried to move on

          They fought to stop Russia from doing something they already stopped doing. Then by 1914 they were fighting Turkey so Russia could get what they stopped them from getting before.
