Wrong war

Why was it easier to take Paris than Stalingrad?

>>2524867
Undefended cities aren't difficult to take desu

>>2524864
Germany did surrender though. In both wars.

>>2524875
Why was Paris undefended?

>>2524881
France didn't want it leveled and they had already moved to the capital to Tours.

>>2524881
I assume that the people in charge didn't want any damage to fall unto the cultural parts of Paris. Also maybe PTSD from the siege of Paris in 1871.

Why did maginot fail??

>>2524912
It didn't. It worked exactly as designed. The issue was that the French were not prepared for a German offensive through the Ardennes.

*proves ignorance while attempting to take a cheap shot*

Why did Russia allow itself to be pursuaded to join the liberal entente while the reactionary central powers made much more sense?

Because both Austria-Hungarian and Russian national policy relied on fucking around in the Balkans in ways that put them in direct opposition.
Russia joining the Central Powers after A-H invaded Serbia would be like you and a mugger ganging up on police officers after the mugger knifed your retard cousin. There is a reality where it could happen, but it would require significant legwork on the mugger's part.

Didnt they start to focus on panslavism only when they got booted out of the greater indian/central asia subcontinent by the Brits?

Not to mention all that tension between the brits and russians around 1905? Seems more like Russia teamed up with its bully

>>2524938
Because they had geopolitically conflicted interests
