IIRC, according to international law, whoever spends two full consecutive weeks on another stellar body is the legal owner of that stellar body. Needless to say, I keep dreaming of going to Mars with a full supply of water, air and microwave pizzas. (And preferably also an ansible, so I can connect to the internet.

Germany didn't start WW1.
It's possible to debate this endlessly. In a sense, everyone involved (except the US, who joined later as always - bunch of truants

) was responsible for the start of the war, it's just a question of who bears greater responsibility. And once you look at that, Germany shares the largest part of the guilt, but not the majority part. Europe was headed for disaster anyway after nationalism became all the rage in the early nineteenth century. But that's another matter.
