You know, genuinely…American education tends to go “Then there was World War One and we tried to stay out of it because it was Europe’s problem but we had to go win it anyway then there was the roaring 20s and the great depression 30’s and then MOTHAFUCKIN WORLD WAR TWO, the four years that makes up two thirds or our nation’s 250 year history.” So the scene where Blackadder sits George and Baldrick down and describes the alliances and how “there was only one problem. It was bollocks.” Is genuinely my understanding of WWI. That and rotary piston engines. I know what a blip switch is.
