1. You’re a moron.

2. You can’t logically hold the position that France alone started WWI and “all nations involved were responsible for starting WWI” at the same time.

3. You’re a moron.

4. France wanting Alsace-Lorraine back doesn’t make France responsible for starting WWI when Germany was very clearly the actual aggressor.

5. You’re a liar. From your original, pre reading a whackadoo book position:

> [@History buffs: how much, if any, did the treaty of Versailles contribute to WWII?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/history-buffs-how-much-if-any-did-the-treaty-of-versailles-contribute-to-wwii/726080/52):
>
> France was eager to avenge the Franco-Prussian war and to seize back Alsace Lorraine. They mobilized early and aggressively, planning on attacking Germany while Germany was busy with Russia. \*\*Fault lies with France. \*\*
