Send me back and I would of simply shot the Serbian. 🤷 Someone else would have likely done it anyway, but it is the single best play.

For me, his argument misses the root cause of wars…and the strings central banks pull to create them…so great you stop the Archduke from getting offed and then like a wackamole another false flag would pop up elsewhere. My pick: sometime in the early 1800’s when the US was battling against central banks.

That would be my pick of time:

I'd prevent Lincoln from getting elected. This would likely prevent the US Civil War, and all the really bad stuff that happened because of it.

I've yet to figure out the locus for the push for the war, though.

Hmmm. I can readily believe you wouldn't get the War Between The States without Lincoln, but I'm not convinced that would have prevented a different civil war, or several in parallel.

By my reading the North had huge internal political stresses thanks to urbanisation, monopoly and immigration; and the South had a smaller helping of that plus a century of pretending the decoupling of class and race wasn't happening.

Yes. I agree. That's why I haven't really been able to find "the one thing" that if you changed or prevented, the mess we are currently in would not have happened.

I would much rather have had the southern states peacefully exit the union than to have had the amount of bloodshed, trauma, and enmity that still exists today, plus all the gubment over-reach that was started, fedgov debt, seeds sown for the mechanisms of federal income taxes, Additional bureaus and assorted mechanisms of government expansion that led to partnerships that are, quite frankly, facistic in nature, between the "robber barons" and their tight grip on the reigns of opinion shaping through media to push for things that should have been left to develop as decentralized, distributed systems built at a much closer to the people level.

I’m reading a good book about Lincoln: The Real Lincoln by Thomas DiLorenzo. Fascinating and now agree that he was a big part of the creation of the federal government as we now know it. Bad dude.

I've heard of that book in passing. 👍

Anybody got a good, reliable / truthful resource that might explain how it all started?

I know the name 'archduke ferdinand', and know it is asserted that his assassination was the cause of WWI, but that is literally all I know about it.
