Regarding the, ah, colonization of Africa: I've been reading about early safaris and note that Queen Victoria ceded Mt. Kilimanjaro to the young Kaiser Will as a birthday present. The cartographers had to make a slight zig-zag in the boundary betwixt British East Africa (aka Kenya) and German East Africa (aka Tanzania) but that's easily done when the front office commands it. Rumo(u)r has it that Good Queen Vic noted that Willy's part of the continent didn't have any mountains with snowcaps and therefore undertook to remedy the situation.
Man-o-man, the Great War really WAS the ultimate family feud, and Tobias is absolutely right--there's plenty of blame to go 'round. As Chuck Yeager says, "Our side has unfortunate incidents; the other side has war crimes."
