Britain should have stayed out of it. She had her Empire, and Germany’s navy could never match Britain’s.
An interesting point. The controlling issue in that regard would have been what result in the pre-WWI landscape of Europe had England been able to avoid the necessity of the various defense treaties, etc. that embroiled it in the struggle.
The immediate benefits: the struggle would likely have been resolved much earlier; England would not have been bankrupted; there would have been no reason for U.S. involvement.
There is the argument by some that the U.S. was a large financial supporter of England and became actively involved only when it reasonably appeared Germany might win the war. There is also the argument that the spread of communism would have been greatly impeded had Germany been a victor.
Anyone have a reading list on this point?
