Different Stances and Technology
I found it very interesting to learn the different milatary standpoints of each country in Europe. I think the availability of technology to each country affected their miliatary strategies. Their resource availability of tanks, guns and men I believe had a direct corralation to their war strategy. Ideology affected their military strategies as well which goes back to how each country fared at the end of World War I as well as their political influence to other countries including western culture. It's important I believe to realize that if some of the circumstances would have been swapped around that their would have been a dramatic difference in the outcome of the war.

I agree that the information on the differences and similarities of military strategies was interesting. One aspect that surprised me was the description of the Italian military where it was stated “the Italians displayed both military and political incompetence.” It cited the fact that the corps of officers did not take its profession seriously; therefore, the end result was sloppy military training and exercises.
