[@Monochromatic Rainbow], glad you like it. 

The brutality of WW1 actually led to the Geneva Protocol in 1929. By today's standards, every nation could have been prosecuted for the sheer amount of gas they sent out. It's similar to how flamethrowers in WW2 led to an eventual ban in 1980 (they were used in WW1 and up to Vietnam). Point is, a crime can only be properly defined when it's been committed for the first time, and the first world war definitely shaped how we look at modern war crimes. 

The post war settlements didn't even include any proper prosecutions against wartime atrocities. As far as I know, international war tribunals did not exist (as we know it today) until the end of WW2. Large events like the killings in Belgium and the Armenian Massacre got some coverage, but lesser known events like the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baralong_incidents]Baralong incidents[/url] basically got free pass.

With that said, I'm trying to focus this (fictional) story on [sub][s]memes[/s][/sub] intrigue, action and human drama; rather than anything too political. The choice of Central Powers simply depicts an underrepresented group, one that is not fundamentally different from anybody else.

[@MacabreFox], I was taught that the world wars were basically one war with a twenty-year ceasefire.

There seems to be a bit of WW1 resurgence in popular media, with films like [i]War Horse[/i] and the new [i]Wonder Woman[/i], and games like [i]Verdun[/i] and [i]Battlefield 1[/i].

I've read bits of your one-on-one RP with Dervs. Great stuff, by the way. You are welcome to link people or events from there to here, or vice versa.
