I finally got round to watching 37 Days last night (ended up watching all 3 episodes and went to bed around 2am.) What a fascinating and well produced programme about how World War I came about. However, it has frightening parallels with what is happening in the Ukraine. Russia, of course, is again heavily involved with Tsar Putin - just replace Germany/Austria with the EU. One difference is that France is now allied with Germany. Like now, Britain had a weak, dithering Government, trying to please everyone. Like now, a small insignificant country triggered the whole thing. Like now, ill-thought out treaties were responsible for other nations being drawn into conflict. Heaven help us all!!
