Because movies about a morally gray conflict with nebulous actors doesn't play as well with general audiences as defeating literally Hitler. But I 100% agree.

morally gray
Ludendorff was the German dictator by the end of the war and he was a card carrying Nazi. Hitler, Goring, every Nazi general were on one side. Nothing gray about it.

Where it's morally gray is that WWI was more or less a powder keg of large imperial powers that that was set off by an assassination. Britain, France, and Germany were all competing for their own Imperial prestige. Fighting a war in a trench in France to maintain that prestige over a dead royal is fair to call morally dubious. If anything it was a clash of modern and old, with the allies representing the "modern" world, and the entente representing the old world.
Now the consequences of the war were not. WWII and the Nazis being the biggest. Can't disagree there.

The first chance the huns had to start the war they'd already decided on in 1912. I think it's been pretty conclusively proven that the old idea that Germany wasn't trying to start the war is bullshit and comes from them hiding incriminating documents after they lost.

Don't get it twisted, I'm no fan of the eternal Prussian and its compulsion to destroy Europe. There's a reason the Brits refused to ally themselves with the Kiser. They wanted a war, and Kaiser Wilhelm was a larping weirdo. But no one in the conflict were good boys. Austria and Russia were autocratic states. The Ottomans were carcass state. Britain and France were busy taking up the white man's burden. And America was selling to everyone.

The only thing that's "morally grey" about WW1 is commies weren't forced to ally with us. If Hitler never broke his alliance with Stalin they'd call WW2 morally grey.

Nooooo, France was asking too be invaded when they withdrew their troops from the German border in an act of good-faith deescalation.
It's morally gray because they had the temerity too fight back after Germany invaded.

WWI German Uniform wasn't that different from early WWII. Both used the Fieldgrau which many people thought was marvelous at the time camo-wise.
