Oops!

There's a story about a British newspaper that ran a contest for the best headline that would explain causes of World War I. The winning entry was, "Archduke Franz Ferdinand Found Alive! WWI Fought by Mistake!"

The more I read about European history of the 19th and 20th centuries, the more I'm tempted to come up with a similar headline, "Marxism Found To Be False. The Soviet Union Created By Mistake!"
