Letting an international power, especially one that hates you, administer justice within you is unacceptable, since its letting someone else govern your citizens. The UN cant even really do this now, no matter what Lupin III would suggest about the capabilities of Interpol.
Without the aforementioned web of alliances, hot blooded men, huge armament stockpiles, and one heroic autistic man (Wilhelm II), a local regional Balkan conflict swept up the whole world, but I would blame Hotzendorf the most out of everyone
