Today a 100 years on, the first bullet of WW1 was fired.

Fall of the Ottoman Empire was the worst thing to happen to the Muslims in last century. However through our sheer hardwork and dedication we've carved out around 55 states..

Our next goal should be reintegration.

It was the war to end all wars

There is a good book written on WW1. It is called a Peace to End All Peace:

A Peace to End All Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East: David Fromkin: 9780805088090: Amazon.com: Books

It is a must read if you want to understand the current middle-eastern wars.

So basically one shot lead to downfall of the Ottoman, Russian, German and Austro-Hungarian empires

And started a circle of violence that would result in the deaths of hundreds of million people, because the outcome of WW1 had great influence on events like WW2, the Russian revolution etc etc which in turn resulted even more dangerous event like the Cold War which almost brought the human race at the edge of extinction.

The world would be a better place today with more of the Arabs united (ottoman empire). Only nation to benefit from both world wars was the USA. Kinda says something right there.
