Because usually when I disagree with an American I get banned! I watched 5mins of the vid after finding a 'little X' turned the sound on! so far it reminds me of revisionist clap trap usually written by Officer Polly snobs sorry I'll try another 5-10mins later its about all I can stomach per sitting without smashing this computer with a hammer,the title itself is a warning for me to control me anger all this BBC stuff is under Adrian van Klaveren there's another red flag but I'll try. Irish you must admit it is so typical Germany bad We Good come on its not that simple! I don't like this Hastings dude or his suit either its the way he talks us limeys have had it with these plum in the mouth turkey lecturers he reminds me of school when one only leaves five seconds at the end of a lecture "Any Questions?" Bah!. Thats me first five mins review lol! so far. Eric -

I read it to understand fully the events leading up to the war you have to begin with Bismarck and Political Europe 19th century I studied it in the mid 60's after recently buying an 8 volume set on the war it all came flooding back written in conveniently shortened articles by historical researchers and noted scholars. Anyway I'm already into the battles....again. Eric -

Well I guess it could have been uttered by Grey's housekeeper because he'd forgotten to pay the bill but its well documented and witnessed as having been spoken by Edward Grey as the ultimatum was running out over Germany entering and not withdrawing from Belgium. They are some important points to consider as a prelude: The July Crisis not least of which July holidays the Kaiser himself broke off and rushed back having on July 28th hoped to continue mediation between Austria and Serbia at Belgrade. Austria went from a state of war to an escalation when they shelled Belgrade on the 29th. Contrary to revisionists and modern media pc bs The Great War didn't 'spark' with some nut on a street corner the fuse leads back to the dismissal of Bismarck and Queen Victoria relenting to the same banking magnets towards the end of her reign that promised Wilhelm a Navel power to match that of England. Europe should have listened to its Grandparents: Otto von Bismarck and Queen Victoria. Eric -
