How much wherewithal* did it take to start WWI??? An Archduke shot....and millions killed.* We were talking about the wherewithal to attack a homeland, specifically that of the US. In WWII, the wherewithal was munitions factories, trains, trained and willing soldiers, etc., which Germany had in spades. The shooting of the Archduke was the the trigger that set off that war. The provoking incident is a concept entirely different from that of the wherewithal to prosecute a foreign war. It takes a lot of wherewithal to prosecute a foreign war, very little to assassinate a couple of people.
