Everything is similar, but not necessarily similar enough to warrant comparison.
Again, historian here and you know shite about the origins and the reasons why WW I was fought and its necessity. Therefore, respectfully STFU.

Iraq War is much better compared to one of Britain's many dumb imperial wars of the 19th century.
Stay in your lane, mystical crystals lady.
