I do not agree. The campaign against Yugoslavia achieved to stop the ethnic cleansing in the province with no allied casualties. I would be sad if that was seen as a pointless or small achievement.
The problem about WWI, in my opinion, is that what should have become a replica of the French-Prusian war about the colonies become a worldwide conflict. A so massive conflict for such a small question - and the consequences it had - are really pitiful.
Pointless wars? The Spanish-American war of 1898. Damn, we should have invaded the US mainland instead of losing badly in Cuba.
