  1. If we all knew what was coming, we would've done it differently. Hindsight makes all of us wise. Enoch warned us about what was coming. It's becoming worse than he predicted. We have no excuses.

  2. Utter nonsense. You've got that back to front. I invite you to edit it. Wilhelm was war-hungry. Edward had zero influence in the matter because: (a) The British constitution meant the Monarch had zero influence in the matter, and - (b) Edward was dead before WW1 commenced.

  3.  @danielkrcmar5395  No. That is incompatible with Britain's status as a great power. Also, a victorious Germany dominating Europe would create problems for the future. English/British policy, back to the 16th century, was always to prevent Europe from being dominated by any one power.

  4.  @danielkrcmar5395  Flanders/Belgium was always the highway through which the powers invaded their neighbours. Belgium was invented as a neutral state, to prevent them from doing so. All of the neighbouring states agreed Belgium would be absolutely inviolable, a sacrosanct agreement. The French established forts along their shortened border with Germany, to ensure a German invasion was impossible. The Great War could not have happened without the Germans passing through Belgium. Britain got involved because - a.) Belgium was invaded, and - b.) The Belgians made a formal request for assistance.

  6. No choice in the matter. The UK was obligated by treaty to defend Belgium's frontier. War between Britain and Germany became unavoidable as soon as the Kaiser invaded Belgium.

  8.  @danielkrcmar5395  Sometimes ALL of us leave comments which are mistaken. I recently left a comment on a Mark Felton channel. Persons with greater knowledge replied and corrected me. I thanked them and edited my comment. I mean no disrespect, but you have insufficient knowledge of this subject to discuss it in depth.
