First World War.

Actually, WWI became "inevitable" only after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870... that left a great deal of sh*te, as you put it, in rather poor order and someone had to sort it out.

But both WWs can be viewed (as WW2 is really the conclusion the first WW was so badly missing) as part of the same continuum, that didn't start off with the enlightment, but with the industrial revolution (you can add the French revolution in that very same series of events) and had a to do with the disrepancies of the newly found capitalist system and of the - in decline during the early 20th century - colonization.

It was a long and painful process that resulted in the creation of a new global political, economical and social order... which is anything but static, mind you, but for the greater part is in a rather definite form for the past 60 years.

This is very fascinating I encourage you to elaborate if you can. How did the collapse of Chistendom as you call it aide the outbreak of war in 1914. The Zionist movement didn't really begin until after the war, while the Balfour Declaration I believe was drafted in the late stages of the war and afterwards. I must bring to your attention that by "adding things up for yourself", you can very easily distort the facts.

 And where did you get that nonsense. The americans didn't contribute much during the last German failed offensive, they were supplied mostly with french and british equipment. In fact the intervention of the americans worsens the situation, if the americans weren't involved, France and Britian would have dismantled Germany completely and Germany would have never seen the day again. In fact the Italian played a far more important role than american by diverting the German attention on the austro-italian front line.

 This is what it appeared to be. France intention was to enter the war sooner or later. The alliance with russia was devised by France to place germany btw a hammer and a hard place. French engineers were active in the area long even before the war started, building a railway to move troop to assault the german east front line as well as helping russia modernising. Infact this is what saved France during the battle of Marne, the germans and austrian had to divert troops on the eastern front rather than fighting on the western front.

 Check the chronology

It is clear that Germany didn't move on the eastern front but rather  on the western front. A declaration of war on russia was like a declaration of war on France. But France was smart not to declare war but to order mobilisation only. The germans were not stupid to mobilise on the eastern front and receive the full french forces from the west. Basically the Germans made all the wrong moves politically (but militarily they were right) and they can clearly be accused of intiating the war together with Austria. Of course France and russia were far from being innocent, germany was just taking the bait. 

Well said, and the answer is yes.
