(by the way, Hungary-Austria started the 1st world war, not the German empire. And no worries, we are not going to start another world war. At the time of the first and the second world war, Germany was the country with the mighties economy and army in the world. And we couldn't win against the joined allied forces of France, GB, Russia and the USA at that time, much less today. Besides, why would we go to war? At the beginning of the 21st century, every army in Europe had gotten a lot of new toys that they were eager to try (thought that might end any war quickly - they were fools). The 2nd on was started after a power hungry failed austrian painter took over and made an instable, virtually ungovernable system a tyranny. Today Germany is a stable democracy, well integrated into Europe through a lot of treaties, we became friends with our former archenemy, France, and we get along well with the British, too. And look at how many trillions the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost you. These were underdeveloped countries, with an army that couldn't take on the American one. We don't want to spend gazillions of dollars on armistice to enable to take on the other European armies, let alone fund a full war)
