Oh boy, I can see you are biased by your British centric view of history. Not much I can do for you. Britain was a willing participant in the arms race with Germany. Germany was no threat. The Prussian establishment had no interest, absolutely none, in getting involved in a world war. They knew they were not military prepared to take on any of the great powers. The Allied powers did whatever they could to spark the Great War, looking to take Germany down in size.
The Yanks saved you then and saved you in the Great Depression when the federal reserve saved Britain’s outflow of gold. This caused Britain to have a mild recession while Americans suffered. Americans would do well to go back to Jeffersonian ideals and reject the Hamiltonian idea of sucking up to you Brits.
I am biased?. You make the Germans sound like lil bunny rabbits, assailed by the big nasty British and French. I assume we forced the Germans to invade Belgium then, did we?.
If you think the US forces saved the allies in 1917-18, your knowledge of WW1 is dreadful.
You DO know that the US army in WW1 had no tanks, planes and heavy artillery of its own, and had to use British and French equipment?. A fact even superpatriot historian Stephen Ambrose had to admit in his last book. You DO know that the Royal Navy had to carry HALF of all US troops from America to Britain in 1917, and ALL American troops from England to France?.
Britain had a mild recession in the 30’s?. Tell that to the people still living today who lived through it.
