Nice read buddy, look forward too more of them. (Also if you need someone to proofread them you know how yo reach me) I like your layout of how you present your points.

***edit***
Also an idea for future threads could be:
The Mexican American war
WWII
Or a crossroads/backroads recruitment thread

thank you Sweet, Both events are very interesting, I should easily be able to get enough info for a write up on them :)

and the crossroads/backroads I requested to do one before and was denied :cry:
 
*means A8*
*says "aj" and "son"*

Logic. But fine. I had my question, which was not to you, answered and replied. I'm off the thread now. 

This is an essay not a lesson :/

Plus the bit about WW1 stemming before the shooting of archduke Franz Ferdinand is pretty freaking obvious, the shooting was a fuse to light the pile of gunpowder that had been building. Only people who have never seen the subject don't know that.

Also a war between France and Germany had already happened in Alsace-Lorraine. So the point about a war being between Germany and France was a bit null, as it had already happened.
 
I'm being brutally honest when I say this is a bread-and-butter overview of events. Maybe pick something more controversial or original next time, as a suggestion.
 
I second a request for the Mexican American war. That would make for great arguments seeing as how american history portrays mexico as the aggressor and Mexican history states the opposite. It would be interesting to see which side the op would take. DO IT 
 
(May of been mentioned already)(didn't read many replies) they are normally from tormented souls,Are you asking us to do your homework ??

Your talking about the Franco Prussian war in 1870-1871 that leads to the creation of the unified German state.
 
Very interesting read indeed I do actually like how you specifically talked about Britain in itself.

You should do the the German rat war in 1942
 
Great read OP, keep it up.

You are right about it triggering an arms race, the cause of WW1 amounts from rising tensions throughout Europe and the Ottoman Empire

Now that would be a great thread!
 
Excellent topic, my favorite from Great Britain is Winston Churchill. A lot of upper crust didn't like him but they knew he could motivate people and win the war. Keep up the good work. A man once said, people who don't remember the past are bound to repeat it.
