Comments on: World War Zero? http://russian-front.com/2009/08/22/world-war-zero/ Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:30:50 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: TriciaM http://russian-front.com/2009/08/22/world-war-zero/comment-page-1/#comment-661 TriciaM Tue, 02 Feb 2010 03:09:24 +0000 http://russian-front.com/2009/08/22/world-war-zero/#comment-661 I agree with you Gary in that for a war to constitute as a World War, there needs to be many other nations involved. However, when looking at the Russo-Japanese War/WW0, the underlying factors alone in which caused the outbreak were because of many other involved nations. During the war many nations continued to be involved. As a result, the world was not pleased with the so called "winner" due to imperialistic attitudes and dealt with it as if Japan were inferior. This will cause Japan to retalitate through technological growth and developing a stronger attitude when dealing with foreign nations. This attitude and reaction the peace was similar to that of Germany after the Treaty of Versailles. Overall, both wars share many connections.

It might be right to call it the first industrial war, but I doubt it justifies the word "world."
