I may indeed be weird, but consider my post:
It’s unfortunate that Germany bore the brunt of WWI and severely punished economically with totally unreasonable lreparations as a result of the cowardly French and the ignorant rulers of the United Kingdom.
They not only paved the way for a Hitler, but insured WWII and the Japanese entry into that war.
There are so many good histories that delve deeply into this that it would be good for us to read and understand how this catastrophe happened.
So many weasels in the equation like Stalin who murdered his own civilians by the millions far exceeding Herr Hitler’s tally.
We had to fight WWII. The U.S. didn't need to get involved with WWI. Had we kept our nose out, there would have been no need for WWII. And if you think about it, there's nothing about the way the European Union is run that is significantly different than the kind of government the Kaiser would have imposed - except that there would probably be a lot fewer muzzies in Europe right now, the economy would be sound, and the Bolsheviks would have never made it as far West because the Kaiser would have contained the Russians.
Woodrow Wilson goes down in my book as the most destructive U.S. president that ever was. He really screwed up the course of human history - globally - with our entry into that war and the creation of the Federal Reserve. He set the course for the destruction of our Freedom.
The subject was Dresden. WW1 was a squabble between cousins. Japan’s ambitions had nothing to do with WW1 and everything to do with securing itself a role as a dominant power in Asia.
