If I was me, now, and it was 1910.
I remember 40 years ago, now. 1980. First year I stayed up late enough to see midnight. I was 11. Carter was a peanut farming fool. Inflation made my can of soda pop go from .25 to .45.
If it is was 1910, 40 years ago is 1870. If I was German or I was French an event would be baked in my blood. The Franco Prussian War. It would be a part of 1910 me as much as Breznhev and Reagan is a part of 2020 me. I still hate commies. I drove cars older than 1980.
I'd still be steamed about the Franco Prussian War, then if it was 1910. So I can sort of understand how WWI started.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
