Did World War I start because of a railway? That is what this video argues, noting that Germany had entered an agreement with the Ottoman Empire that would run a rail line from Berlin to Iraq that would have allowed Germany to bypass all the trade and choke points that Great Britain and France would throw up, and threatened the control over the Ottoman's exercised by British and French (read: Rothschild) banks. The video makes the obvious comparison between the situation then and the opposition to the Chinese Belt and Road projects.
