* H.G. Wells and Woodrow Wilson called World War I "the war to end war." This was brutally subverted when the bloodiest war in human history came less than three decades later. What makes it even worse is that the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I hurt the Germans enough that it's now considered a major reason why Hitler was able to rise in the first place. The war to end all wars indeed...
