I remember reading that both sides fired off huge volley of artillery during that last morning so that they didn't have to lug it back with them. WW1 was the biggest tragedy of the last 150 years - particularly as it was so unnecessary. Plus a huge factor that lead up to the rise of the Nazis and WW2 was due to the ridiculously harsh punitive reparations defined at the Treaty of Versailles.

War is always unnecessary. It's only about power and money.

I'd say WW2 was necessary from the Allies' POV.

War, in general, is not necessary. Humans act like fucking idiots. Do you understand my point, now? And I'm not referring to a country defending itself against invaders.
