Childhood is thinking WW2 is super cool and interesting.
Youth is thinking WW1 is overlooked because it requires a deeper understanding of politics, but is ultimately more interesting.
Adulthood is realizing WW2 was indeed the most most fascinating conflict because it's when modern warfare truly developed and Europe shed the trappings of the past century in a truly ideological war.

WW1 was just a bunch of guys playing in the dirt and setting off fireworks.
WW2 was nothing but brutal battles, polish death camps, cool leaders and neat haircuts.

Only reddit tier plebs think WW1 is more interesting.

Adulthood is realizing that ww2 is just an extension of ww1 and that understand it and the impact it had on modern society requires understanding ww1 as well.

True but if we're separating them, WW2 is gonna be more interesting senpai.

WW2 was more flashy but WW1 is ultimately more interesting because a lot of shit utilized in WW2 (tank warfare, chemical weaponry, air combat, air bombardment, battlefronts) originate from WW1.

As for the political aspect, WW2 is utter shit compared to the first war.

After listening to the Dan Carlin podcasts on WW1 I've decided to read some books on it.

Do you guys have any recommendations?

>WW1 was just a bunch of guys playing in the dirt and setting off fireworks.

This was a war that had battles with 40+ thousand causalities in a single day. You think that's playing? It was an unbelievably brutal war.

What's the best books on the Napoleonic war/Napoleon? Is Andrew Roberts decent or overhyped?

>>2273937
Andrew Roberts' is regarded as the best as it pretty much is. The Campaigns of Napoleon by David Chandler is also good.

i see you're a man of culture as well

>>2273939
There are also the Memoirs of Jean-Roch Coignet, but they are more about personal experiences rather than the broad scale of things, like the others books.

>>2273939
>>2273945
Cheers. So Andrew Roberts is good for getting a sense of how he was as a man?

the cold war is the most interestring by far because there was never a direct war.
It was the greatest game of espionage, propaganda and battles between superpower backed third world countries.
