“whereas Russia and France had to mobolize first”
So you admit that Russia AND France mobolized first? Germany fought back in self-defense. Do you think that if she were on the offensive that they would choose to fight a two front war? Hardly.
If the war was started with Germany, they would have fought on only the eastern or the western front. Instead, because Russia declared war on them, they were forced to defend on both. Defended so well that, as you said, they never fought on German soil in the west.
“So you admit that Russia AND France mobolized first? Germany fought back in self-defense.”
Wrong. Mobilization is not an attack. It never, ever had been considered a cause for war before. That was never part of the diplomatic tradition. You have fallen directly into the trap Germany laid for you, allowing it to argue “self-defense” for purely offensive acts.
“Do you think that if she were on the offensive that they would choose to fight a two front war?”
Yes! That was their plan. They wrote it down! It’s called the Schlieffen Plan.
“Instead, because Russia declared war on them, they were forced to defend on both.”
Wrong. Russia did not declare war on them. Now you’re simply lying.
“Defended so well that, as you said, they never fought on German soil in the west.”
Why do you figure they did as well as they did? Could it possibly be that they deliberatly planned things so that they’d be able to mobilize while they fought, unlike their enemies? Also, because, unlike their enemies, they actually were on the offensive?
