Please be wary of broad generalizations.
World War I - Started by the assassination of a French diplomat/ambassodor. (I think he was French anyway - but may be wrong).
World War II - Started by Hitler's obssession to return Germany to the status of a World Power. The "religious genocide" of the Jews didn't
occur until Germany had already invaded Poland, Austria, and other surrounding countries. It was the most heinous aspect of WWII, but not
the cause of it.

In WWI it was a Austrian/Hungarian duke of Hapsburg descent. WWII resulted from WWI.
Apparently Hitler wasn't too far out of line with his actions according to the rest of Europe. A joke goes something like this: Had you told anyone in Europe in 1910 that in 30 years 6 million Jews would be systematically prosecuted and killed the answer would be "Well... Anything can happen in France."
Good points for the most part tho', Cerek. Just thought I'd correct the origin of the Duke guy. [img]smile.gif[/img]
