    WWI Political Cartoon

    Uploaded by

    hebrews110
    This political cartoon from World War I depicts various countries as soldiers blaming each other for starting the war, with each soldier pointing an accusing finger while also having their hand on a trigger of a gun. In the background are two larger figures representing Crime and Who Did It, suggesting the countries all committed the crime but blame others. Germany is receiving most of the blame as the only country not shown in the pointing line of soldiers, implying it is responsible for war but not taking responsibility. The cartoon aims to show the hypocrisy of all countries blaming each other for a war they all contributed to through militarism and alliances.
