Yes, the facts are pretty clear by many that the British were attempting to get the Americans in the war. You just couldn't handle being bested by the Germans. You got into the war out of pure jealousy of Germany and you believed they would be easy pickings. You fought the Germans alongside the vengeful French, and the imperialist Russians. And you just couldn't help yourself but punish the German people that you and your allies started over a pitiful and aggressive Serbian people. A war motivated by bigotry and envy and the yanks had to come in to clean up your damn mess.

It wasn't good enough for you to have slaughtered so many Boers that you were itching to off some Jerries as well. Didn't quite work out the way you hoped though, did it?

Not to mention the traitors that fought alongside the Commintern against the legitimate government of Spain under Franco.

World War I was a completely unnecessary war, acknowledged as such by most historians today.

Yes, it was Britain’s fault that the Germans under Kaiser Wilhelm spent two decades in a fanatical arms race to try and match the British. Not Willie’s fault, but ours. Yep, I get it.

The Yanks had to save us?. Really?. They didnt arrive until 1917, the British and Aussie and Canadian troops, as well as Indians, had to take the brunt of the Kaiserschlact in easter 1918, as well as the huge brunt of the 100 Day Offensive to drive back the Germans to the border.

There were more Canadians in 1918 than Americans. The Aussies in 1918 did more fighting than the US. Oh, and the US didnt undertake a solo major assault until the battle of St Mihiel in SEPTEMBER 1918, just two months from victory.

Yet the US saved us, not the Aussies or Canucks?. Yeah, ok.
