  1. You think wrong. Germany never caused any war.

  2.  @heartsofiron4ever  No, the Rhine was the east-west border, and the Danube was the north-south border. There also was a diagonal border called the Limes I think, joining the Rhine and the Danube Rivers. Everything east and north of these borders was never conquered by the Romans. This is probably the reason why Germans do not speak a Roman language such as French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and interestingly, Romanian.

  4.  @damian4926  You are skimming over the facts and conveniently omitting the underlying causes. France declared War on Germany by mobilizing first for WWI. As far as Poland is concerned, I suggest you read "Polish Atrocities Against the German Minority in Poland". For WWII France, Britain, and USA de facto, declared war on Germany. France began by invading Germany first.

  5.  @wladyslawbukowski  Read: Polish Atrocities Against the German Minority in Poland. And then talk about Verbrechen. France, Britain, and the USA de facto, declared war on Germany. France for revenge for losing the Franko-Prussian war. The Brits and Yanks for MONEY and PROFITS.

  11. Germany proper was NEVER conquered by the Romans. The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest put a stop to those Roman ambitions. Mind you, there were still Roman raids into Germany, but no conquest.

  13. In fact, the allies' losses were 25% to 33% greater. Read the book "The Pity of War".

  14. Indeed! Look around you and see the results. The western world is turning into a cess pool.

  15. Who is "they" in "messed it all up"?

  16.  @ericlarochelle650  Claiming that the German government "messed up" is Monday morning quarterbacking. Fact remains that all German governments did their best to avoid war or, in the Polish case, stop the murder of the German minority in that country.

  17.  @ericlarochelle650  What you surmise may be true on the surface, but once one digs into the details the picture changes completely. 1) Belgium was not neutral, but aided the allies. Surreptitiously in the beginning but aided nonetherless. 2) The letter to Mexico. What is conveniently omitted is the statement that said: "In case of war between the USA and Germany...". Thus, had the USA minded its own business, as Britain should have done, then the German letter to Mexico would have been, in effect, non applicable. A good book about these times is "The Pity of War".
