Are you talking about World War I, literally the most shameful event in the history of monarchy as an institution and the catalyst that caused most politically powerful monarchies to start crumbling world wide? (13)

The biggest issue with democracy that I'm frankly not sure how to overcome is that it is simply not a winning strategy to do things that will be beneficial in the long run but hurt in the short term. On the contrary you seem to win and remain popular by for example running massive deficits that fund ballooning public sector jobs.

It's why it's called the least bad option, sure you don't do a lot of things like long term planning well but at least you don't do far worse things like starting wars over your ego or killing all the sparrows

I think it's because the individual voter quite reasonably only cares about how much is in their own wallet. Asking someone to face 10 years of hardship so that the economy of everyone can improve is just an impossible sell.

Also when people that r*ped the economy leave office they are remembered very fondly like Thatcher, Reagan and even like Karamanlis in Greece. People used to joke that under the New Democracy party people didn't know what the โฌ5 note looked like.

How did the flow of events go?
We had the UK and France in a mutual defense agreement. France and Russia had the same. Germoids weren't beholden to any major nation, or maybe somethibg with Austria. Serboid assassinates Duke Ferdinand of Austria. Austria does something.... Russia attacks Austria. France declares war against Russia. Germany, which could've remained neutral, decided to invade France.

It's been a bit and the Alliance networks were a bit of a mess in regards to Britain particularly, but..
Russia viewed itself as protector of the Slavs
Austria-Hungary and Germany were allied
France and Russia were allied.
Britain had declared it would protect Belgium Neutrality.
Franz Ferdinand was just the match strike that set this all off and there were off ramps after it happened, but a variety of blunders prevented them from being taken.
Ferdinand was killed, Austria-Hungary received assurances from Germany that they had a "blank check", Russia wanted to appear as the strong slavic protector, and distract from some inner failings leading to the conflict really kicking off. From there the Alliance network of France and Russia triggered bringing France into the war, this lead to the Germans acting on their pre-war Schlieffen Plan leading them to attack France through Belgium. This violated the neutrality of Belgium giving the UK an excuse to enter the war on the side of the entente.

The Germans had already decided earlier that 1914 was about the the last moment when they had any hope of beating Russia because of its rapid industrialization so they needed to blow up the next crisis into a world war. This is actually how krauts think. (Not hyperbole, this is all from kraut archives.)

So cleaning up monarchy's mess, a war between a republic and a monarchy, and a nation that started more wars as an empire than as a republic? Sounds about right. Did you forget that Europe was at war continuously for 1,500 years under monarchy?:

Ok, and? The people were being starved, around 750,000 people. That's a lot of non-military casualties. They were being pushed back, their propaganda said they weren't, but they were, and by 1917 luddendorf was already preparing for defeat. That's why they were already weakening the monarchy before the war even ended, they hoped that the entente would prefer a democracy. Austria Hungary would've been battered by Italy regardless, American troops weren't really there, and if Austria fell, than Germany would be by itself. The ottomans were already collapsing, and Bulgaria couldn't sustain itself:
