This article omits the rather large presence of French and Italian battlefleets in the Austrian breakup of the anti sub barrage. They outnumbered the Austrians in cannon weight by far.

Yes - WWI was won by Doughboys.

The English were responsible for such wonderous achievements like the multiple attempts at national suicide at the Somme, the drunkerds failure at Gallipoli, more insanity at Ypres, Paschedaele, failure after bloody failure.

Sorry but standing doggedly while one gets slaughtered like sheep isn’t heroic it’s stupid. And this English seem particularly predisposed to celebrating their defeats as some glorious event.

It’s a odd way of thinking.
