WW1 - they hit some dude in a car and everybody was pissed.
WW2 - everybody was sick of paying for WW1
Easy!
Idk if that's really why WWII started...
There was more to WW1 starting than Franz Ferdinand getting shot, too. They are sarcastically skewering people's simplistic understanding of the causes of those two conflicts.
I guess so. I think it was mostly Germany tired of paying for WWI tho lol
