Whose fault was it? Does blame even matter when the world is burning?

As Europe spiraled into chaos in 1914, empires collapsed, millions died, and the old world tore itself apart in trenches, barbed wire, and blood. But could it have been avoided? Should Britain have stood aside—or worse, chosen the other side?

What if the British had turned their backs on France and Russia, and thrown in their lot with the Germans instead? Could the empire have been preserved? Would fewer lives have been lost—or would the darkness have simply taken another shape?

In this chilling episode, Keith pulls back the curtain on one of history’s most disturbing thought experiments—asking not just what happened, but what might have happened, in a world where alliances twisted, loyalties shattered, and morality blurred into shadows.

This isn’t just a retelling. It’s a reckoning.
