World War One was the fault of all European major powers.

Maybe you want to do the online lesson:

Take your time, afterwards you´ll be able to explain the causes of WW1. It´s for 9 graders, but that shouldn´t be a problem for you. ;-)

The Treaty of Versailles is the start of the chain that led to World War Two. That´s common understanding of the world´s history - also taught in British schools (or Germans, for that matter).

I know that you addressed several folks, but I am the first name and I didn't say a word about the cause of WWI.

It doesn't help your ability to persuade when you attempt to insult the intelligence of those you're typing AT.

I have studied history for decades and continue doing so, particularly European history, especially the world wars. It's a passion of mine.

I have no interest in debating the issue with you.

Cute.

Nothing you posted refutes the basic truth that Wilhelm II's militaristic regime framed the character of the war and its directions. One of the main reasons that the United States didn't support the German side back then was the proclivity of the German side for brutal excesses. Read up on the German record in Belgium, for example..

Making excuses for the brutality and primitivity of WW I Germany is only a short step to making excuses for the Nazis... We aren't, are we?
