@andrewtongue7084 Well said Andrew , you're right in every way. However, there is of course, also an argument as to whether it was an American war at all, especially WW1. Some say that it was ,after all, a European war, among the Royal families, who were all linked together, and could have, should have, prevented it. As for WW2, that was a totally different scenario, against a vicious tyranny, that really did threaten the worlds freedom , and became , inevitably, a World War. That War, could not have been won without the American's vast wealth, armament production capabilities, and it's huge contribution from it's brave people. But, with the WW1 centenary last year 2018, and the 75th anniversary of 'D' Day this year, 2019. WE ALL MUST NEVER FORGET THOSE, WHO WILL NEVER GROW OLD.

NOT A BAD ANALOGY, BUT DO WATCH ''37 DAYS'', A BRILLIANT MINUTE BY MINUTE ACCOUNT OF WHAT LED UP TO WW1. A WONDERFUL BBC TV DOCUDRAMA IN 3 ONE HOUR PARTS. NOW ON DVD. ORIGINAL UNSEEN DOCUMENTS AND PERSONAL LETTERS, BY AND FROM ALL THOSE DECISION MAKER'S INVOLVED, FROM THE KAISER AND HIS WAR MAD GENERALS, TO BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY, VISCOUNT EDWARD GREY, CHURCHILL GEORGE THE 5TH AND SO ON. ALL BERILLIANTLY PLAYED OUT BY GREAT ACTORS, BRITISH AND GERMAN. YOU WILL SEE THAT THE WAR ALMOST NEVER HAPPEND, AS IT SEE--SAWS BACK AND FORTH , WITH BRITAIN TRYING DESPERATELY ,NOT TO GET INVOLVED, UNTIL THE VERY LAST MINUTE. LOOKING BACK, AND AT WHAT THE GERMANS DID, AND THE CONSEQUENCES FOR BRITAIN, WE REALLY HAD NO CHOICE.

@rnstoo1 CORRECT !! THE ATA , WAS FORMED IN 1940. BUT PRETTY MUCH THE SAME WARTIME WORK, BEGAN IN WW1, WITH THE SAME ANXIETIES OVER THE MEN RETURNING FROM WAR , TO FIND THAT THE WOMEN HAD KEPT THE JOBS, A REAL THREAT, SEEING AS THE WOMEN WERE PAID A MUCH LOWER RATE THAN THE MEN, AN INSENTIVE FOR THE EMPLOYER'S ,NOT TO LET THE WOMEN GO. ANYWAY, UNEMPLOYMENT BECAME HUGE ANYWAY, ONCE THE NEED FOR ARMAMENTS ETC ETC , HAD FALLEN MASSIVELY AT WARS END.
