  • I don’t think it is.
    They all were colonial powers that oppressed and subdued their colonial holdings, extracting wealth and even soldiers. France was the only republic, all the others were monarchies and Russia had the most absolutist monarchy. But that doesn’t really factor in, because even France wasn’t fighting to spread or preserve democracy.

    All were fighting to beat them arch enemies, to steal a piece of land or two or maybe a colony and to test their newly developed industrial weaponry. They were all stomping chomping at the bit before it started.

    The German Empire was surely the most militaristic society. But they still fought all for the same ideology and reason.
    To my last point, you can see that in the result: the losers had to gave up colonies but not to independence but to the victors as spoils.











  • I’ve seen an Irish youtuber that works in a bakery and talks a lot about cakes as well. I suspect it might be an Anglosphere thing.

    In German and French, there’s Bäckerei and boulangerie for bread related stuff and some sweet wares like croissant or fruit tarts. But full on cakes you would get in a Konditorei or pâtisserie.
