Blackadder: "You see, in order to prevent war in the Pacific, two superblocs developed: us, the Japanese, the Filipinos, and the Aussies on one side, and the Chinese and Russians on the other. The idea was to have two vast opposing navies, each acting as the other’s deterrent. That way there could never be a war."
Baldrick: "But this is a sort of a war, isn’t it, sir?"
Blackadder: "Yes, that’s right. You see, there was a tiny flaw in the plan."
George: "What was that, sir?"
Blackadder: "It was bollocks..."

@CatholicCrusader__30 "brits did nothing its the americans and mostly soviets who fought the war. yall just kept shouting in the media."
- Won the Battle of Britain,
- The Royal Navy shutdown Germany's access to oil, and its role as an enemy-in-being tied down dozens of German divisions and tens of millions of tons of German war materiel on the Atlantic coasts.
- Took over their entire spy network
- Acted as the only viable staging-point for a western front
- Sunk over 60% of U Boats in the Battle of the Atlantic
- Sunk the Bismarck,
- Sunk the Tirpitz
- Sunk the Scharnhorst,
- Defeated the Regina Marina
- Defeated the Kriegsmarine
- Won the battle of the Atlantic,
- Bletchley Park code breakers decrypting Enigma and the - Lorenz Ciphers in real time providing vital information about German plans and troop movements to the allies
- Won at El Alamein and thus preventing the Suez Canal and the Middle East oil fields from falling into German hands,
- Contributed the most ships, most aircraft and most men on D Day. Roughly 75% of naval forces on D Day were from the Royal Navy
- Faced and defeated the most concentrated force of German armour ever seen in the war around Caen
- Liberated Belgium, North East France, Netherlands, Eastern Italy
- Destroyed or heavily damaged every major German city with heavy bombers. The bombing campaign helped to divert 80% of Luftwaffe fighters away from the Eastern Front. They forced the Germans to build those enormous flaktowers, hardened bunkers, inefficient underground factories, and forced them to produce millions of munitions for flak.
- Escorted the vast majority of the Arctic convoys into the Soviet Union, a vital supply line to keep them in the war

@GajendranSudharson
Blackadder: You see, Baldrick, in order to prevent war in Europe, two superblocs
developed: us, the French and the Russians on one side, and the
Germans and Austro-Hungary on the other. The idea was to have two
vast opposing armies, each acting as the other’s deterrent. That way
there could never be a war.
Baldrick: But this is a sort of a war, isn’t it, sir?
Blackadder: Yes, that’s right. You see, there was a tiny flaw in the plan.
George: What was that, sir?
Blackadder: It was bollocks.

@kodor1146 By November 1918, the British and Commonwealth forces were widely regarded as the finest and most effective fighting force on the Western Front. This was due to significant tactical innovations, improved leadership, and their unparalleled performance during the Hundred Days Offensive. Here’s a detailed analysis of why these forces were so effective, how they compared to their French and American allies, and the impact of improved command structures, with specific emphasis on the achievements of the Fourth Army.
1. Comparison to French and American Allies:
French Army: By 1918, the French Army, though still capable, was recovering from the 1917 mutinies and heavy losses sustained earlier in the war. The French forces adopted a more cautious and defensive approach in the latter part of the war, focusing on limited gains. French casualties had surpassed 1.3 million dead, which heavily impacted their operational capacity.
American Expeditionary Forces (AEF): The AEF, under General John Pershing, grew to over 1.2 million troops in France by late 1918 and played a significant role in battles such as the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. However, the Americans often suffered from logistical challenges and inexperienced leadership, leading to higher casualty rates due to less refined tactics compared to their British counterparts.
British and Commonwealth Forces: The British and Commonwealth forces were distinguished by their ability to execute large-scale, coordinated offensives using combined arms operations. During the Hundred Days Offensive, they advanced over 130 kilometers and captured more than 100,000 German prisoners, significantly more than their French and American allies.
2. Leadership and Command Improvements:
Evolution of British Command: British leadership saw dramatic improvements from the early years of the war, where missteps at Gallipoli and the Somme had resulted in severe losses. By 1918, British generals had adapted their strategies to be more flexible and responsive to battlefield conditions.
Key Generals and Their Impact:
Field Marshal Douglas Haig: Haig played a pivotal role in supporting new tactics, such as the use of tanks and aircraft, and in sustaining the morale and cohesion of his forces. His leadership during the Hundred Days Offensive was crucial in maintaining the momentum of the British advances.
General Sir Henry Rawlinson: Leading the British Fourth Army, Rawlinson was a key figure in the success of the Hundred Days Offensive. His use of "bite and hold" tactics and coordination of infantry, tanks, and artillery were critical in the rapid and sustained breakthroughs achieved during battles such as Amiens.
General Sir Arthur Currie: Currie’s leadership of the Canadian Corps was marked by meticulous planning and innovative use of artillery. His forces were instrumental in battles that broke through the Hindenburg Line, setting standards for modern warfare.
General John Monash: Monash, commanding the Australian Corps, was known for his integration of all available arms—infantry, artillery, tanks, and aircraft—in meticulously planned and executed operations. His leadership was particularly evident at the Battle of Hamel, which became a model for future engagements.
3. The Fourth Army and the Hundred Days Offensive:
Spearheading the Offensive: The British Fourth Army, commanded by General Sir Henry Rawlinson, was at the forefront of the Hundred Days Offensive. It spearheaded key operations, including the decisive Battle of Amiens on August 8, 1918, which marked the beginning of the end for the German Army. On the first day of the battle, the Fourth Army advanced up to 11 miles, a staggering achievement compared to the typical gains of trench warfare.
Taking the Most Ground and Prisoners: During the Hundred Days Offensive, the Fourth Army captured more ground and prisoners than any other Allied force. By the end of the offensive, the Fourth Army had advanced over 50 miles, liberated numerous French towns, and captured approximately 75,000 German prisoners, playing a central role in the Allied breakthrough on the Western Front.
Combined Arms Mastery: The Fourth Army excelled in combined arms operations, utilizing tanks, artillery, and air support in a coordinated fashion that overwhelmed German defenses. At Amiens, the Fourth Army deployed over 500 tanks, alongside nearly 2,000 aircraft, and fired more than 7,000 tons of shells, all of which contributed to the swift and decisive victory that day.
4. Tactical Innovations and Battlefield Effectiveness:
Advanced Combined Arms Operations: British and Commonwealth forces were leaders in combined arms tactics, effectively coordinating infantry, tanks, artillery, and aircraft. These innovations were evident in the Battle of Amiens, where coordinated assaults led to the rapid collapse of German positions.
Artillery Precision: British artillery had evolved into a powerful and precise weapon, capable of delivering devastating bombardments with techniques like predicted fire, sound ranging, and flash spotting. These advances allowed the British to strike German positions without the lengthy preliminary bombardments that had previously alerted the enemy.
Flexible Tactics: The British and Commonwealth forces demonstrated remarkable tactical flexibility, adapting their strategies to the evolving battlefield. This included decentralized command structures, where junior officers and NCOs were empowered to make real-time decisions, enhancing the overall effectiveness and responsiveness of the force.
5. Logistics and Sustained Offensive Capability:
Superior Logistics: The British and Commonwealth forces benefited from highly organized logistics, ensuring a steady supply of ammunition, food, and medical support. This logistical prowess enabled sustained offensives during the Hundred Days, with British forces advancing rapidly without overextending their supply lines.
Manpower and Equipment: By 1918, the British and Commonwealth forces were well-equipped with modern weaponry, including over 7,000 artillery pieces and hundreds of tanks. They also had access to substantial industrial support from the British Empire, which ensured that troops remained well-supplied and capable of maintaining high operational tempo.
Conclusion:
The British and Commonwealth forces by November 1918 were the most effective fighting force on the Western Front, driven by superior tactics, advanced logistics, and improved leadership. The British Fourth Army, in particular, played a pivotal role in the Hundred Days Offensive, spearheading the Allied advance and achieving the most significant territorial gains and prisoner captures of any Allied force. The combination of experienced leadership, notably from generals like Haig, Rawlinson, Allenby, Currie, and Monash, and the effective use of combined arms tactics ensured that the British and Commonwealth forces were unmatched in their operational effectiveness, decisively contributing to the Allied victory in World War I.
"Brits only fight with allies"
And that's why they still exist today because the countries who decided to fight everyone alone don't exist anymore. Haters don't like the fact that the British are intelligent strategists and play to their strengths.
