Y’all have convinced me.

England started WWI, invented communism and Nazism. Thanks

You're jumping from one extreme to another -- reductio ad hitlerum

The FACT that the German Empire of World War One did not aim to destroy the UK (a historical fact) has nothing to do with the FACT that communism was given a boost by the German Empire in 1917 nor by the FACT that Naziism was given a boost due to

  1. French harshness in the treaty of Versailles
  2. The Triple entente (Britain-France) not advancing INTO Germany so creating ground that allowed for the "stab in the back theory"
  3. and the collapse of the global monetary system that hit Germany

World War one was to a large extent one with no clear "good guys" and "bad guys" except for the USA. The other fighters were all imperialists. This is in marked contrast to world war 2
