I'm surprised on mentioning Hungary on the side of responsible countries as Hungary was definiately not an independent power but a part of Habsburg Monarchy with not independent foreign policy and after close 100yrs fighting for a real independency against Habsburgs it is to be red a bit shocking
Loss of French Alsace - Lorraine ? Alsace and Lorraine were original parts of German - Roman Empire with absolute majority of german speakers . In 1871 Germany just got back these territories. In my point all the treaties were wrong and caused wars later such Westphalian as Versailles treaty. If everybody satisfied why would launch war then?
That fact alone, and the loss of then French Alsace-Lorraine started a whole series of events that sparked WW1 and the initial complexities of French, German and British involvement.
However, history is that WW1 transpired and sowed the seeds of WWII.
