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?
Thank you for your post.
LOL, nothing you posted even states that Kaiser Wilhelm II´s government was more or less brutal in following its interests than say Britain or France. While I have provided sources explicitly stating that the responsibility of WW1 goes to France, Britain, Russia, Austria and Germany, you just have told us your OPINION. And I surely hope you are capable of distinguishing between "Making excuses for the brutality and primitivity of WW I Germany" and setting the causes for WW1´s start right. It simply doesn´t cover the historical truth when one states that Germany started WW1 on its own. And it´s also denial when one says that the Versailles Treaty was not the start of the chain that led to Hitler´s rise and WW2.
Well said! My thoughts exactly. Semper Fidelis!
