WWI Cartoon

This political cartoon shows how crazy and chaotic WWI was and how many factions were making deals behind their friend's backs. I think that the cartoon would have made more sense if the words and labels were clearer. It is about how many alliances were in the war. I think that the author's opinion was that wit so many friends and so many allies, somehow every one should be both friends and enemies and therefore be a lot of chaos. People have more than to arms so that tey can offer alliances with more people. The artist could have labled more to give the reader a better idea about what is going on. This relates to the great powers game because of how many alliances were made and how often you enemies became your friends and how your friends usually became you enemies.
