WWI cartoon

the main visual is there are different countries with treaties with different countries, except for one country that doesn't have any alliances with. and i think it means that some countries are stronger than the others. this cartoon is about relationship between different countries. and i think the opinion of the author is, strong countries make alliances with themselves, and few countries are left out, and you can never tell before the war, because some countries can betray and attack. the evidence could be, in this picture germany, and italy are allies with other countries but world war 1 happened because of germany and other countries forming axis and attacking other weak European countries. so all the alliances can't be trusted. it relates to the great powers game, because most of the countries had alliances with pretty much most of the other countries, but as the time passed on, some countries declared war against each other. some countries had to join wars to help one of the sides of the war. similar to world war, germany first attacked neighboring country which drew more countries into the battle.
