  and i have already written a paper on the 14 points, so I understand that. I’ll just show you guys what I have so far….
  
  
  The war to end all wars. Or at least that’s what Woodrow Wilson wrote in his fourteen points in January, 1918. Wilson thought this war was going to solve all of the on going geopolitical issues that the world was facing. Unfortunately, he was wrong.
  One of the main problems we were facing was a tangled web of secret agreements and alliances. Russia had a treaty with Austira-Hungary, which drug the nation into the war then they declared war on Serbia. Germany was allied to Austria-Hungary, and declared war on Russia in return. We later found out that France had a treaty with Russia, and joined the war against Germany and Austria-Hungary. Britian was also allied to france, and later declared war on Germany as well. Britian was also treated to protect Belgium as well, which caused even more conflict when Germany invaded it.
  Japan had an agreement with Britain as well, and declared war on Germany, and Austria-Hungary responded by declaring war on Japan. Needless to say, this tangled web of secret treaties and alliances quickly dragged the entire European world into a war, that should’ve been settled between two countries.
  Woodrow Wilson wanted to make sure that this never happened again. He called for “open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view.” This was to help avoid the entire earth from being dragged into the issues of two countries.
  There was also a general disregard for human life in the First World War. For the first time ever, chemical war fare was used. It created a surreal view of the war. Troops had to carry gas masks with them. It added extra weight and took up extra room in the already packed trenches. We also start to see mass killings of troops with this warfare, and hundreds or thousands of people dying at once. Trenches also helped to cause this.
  Corrupt generals saw their soldiers as expendable pawns in their game. They showed their total disregard for human life by sending their soldiers to be slaughtered everyday. The use of new, and horrible technoglog y made the casulaites worse. Flamethrowers, tanks, planes, as well as the chemical warfare helped to end millions of lives.

• what would be a good way to ask a girl out?
  

  the best way i was ever asked out:
  
  this boy i was hanging out with for a while was in my computer class. there’s one computer that shows everything it’s doing on the main screen so the teacher can show everyone and have them follow the other student along. he switched, so he could be on that computer, and wrote real big, MELISSA, WILL yOU GO OUT WITH ME SOMETIME? it was fricken adorable, and of course, after the blushing stopped, i said yes.
  
  but that was back in the highschool days…
