You know the source of that quote?
Remember that France and Britain had declared war on Germany after Germany took back what France and Britain had stolen from Germany at Versailles.
Switserland had declared itself neutral. No reason to invade.
Nothing that some disciplinary action from the side of the Austrians could not have solved. Unfortunately, Britain, Russia and France had designs on Germany in 1914. Serbian nationalism was under control until the 1980's.
Tolls opines that it is not possible to have 2 opinions at the same time, and maybe this is true for Tolls' brain; Chamberlain however both knew that Britain could not fight Germany, yet at the same time thought that Germans had a point in wanting Sudetenland and Danzig back.
You're wrong about everything 9/11 Investigator.
But you leave it to me to guess where exactly I am wrong.
You realize this is a non-sequitur, right? It would have made just as much sense to say, "I like pancakes. No reason to invade."
Because whether or not a country declared itself neutral obviously made no difference to Hitler and his goons.
Sweden was neutral and not invaded.
Switzerland likewise.
Reason: it could not be invaded by Britain.
There were indeed neutral countries invaded. But the British started becoming serious about invading those neutral countries, like Norway.
And then, starting in the summer of 1945, Britain invaded neutral Luxemborg, neutral Holland, neutral Belgium, neutral Denmark. Why was that?
Stolen how? At gunpoint?
We're all familiar with the geography. What I want to know is WHY Germany gave it away if they really wanted it so badly?
Strange how you won't answer this question.
p.77 – THE STARVATION BLOCKADE
Why did Germany sign? Germany faced invasion and death by starvation if she refused. With her merchant ships and even Baltic fishing boats sequestered and the blockade still in force, Germany could not feed it her people. When Berlin asked permission to buy 2.5 million ton of food, the request was denied. From November 11 through the peace conference, the blockade was maintained… It’s architect and chief advocate had been the First Lord of the Admiralty. His aim, said Churchill, was to “starve the whole population – men, women, and children, old and younng, wounded and sound – into submission.”
p.69 – In the end, the Americans proved decisive. With Yanks moving into the front lines at 250,000 a month, German morale sank and the German lines buckled… There was Prince Max of Baden who had sounded out Wilson on a peace proposal based on 14 points. Wilson responded and began to add conditions. The Kaiser had to go, Allied ‘military supremacy’ had to be garanteed, and a democratic and representative government had to be established. Prince Max agreed and Wilson discussed the offer with his Allies.
p.76 – Today, men do not appreciate what Versailles meant to the Germans, who, triumphant in the east, believed they had laid down their arms and accepted an armistice and peace in the west based on Wilson’s Fourteen Points.
I did answer, but you pretend not to understand the word 'gunpoint'.
Somebody in bondage is brought to a firing squad and is about to be shot.
Then aggle-rithm asks: why is he shot? Why did he agree with being shot?
It is difficult to take people like aggle-rithm seriously.
And then Wilson came along and promised the Germans a mild peace. And that's where the Germans gave in and surrendered.
Wow, you don't even know the standard Neo-Nazi talking points of how the Jews betrayed Germany at the end of WWI and that's why the Germans had to surrender.
Here's what really happened.
German army, couldn't hold the lines in the West, was retreating several miles per day.
Austria-Hungary had capitulated.
Turkey had surrendered.
There were food riots across Germany (Hitler came along years later and blamed the Jews. Of course).
Parts of the German Navy were threatening revolution because of the lack of food.
The German army put everything they had left into the offensives in early 1918, to try to force France to surrender before the Americans had time to make an impact. That failed, and the German army had no reserves, and they had no food left for the people. That's why they surrendered, not because of anything Wilson or anyone else said.
There were indeed neutral countries invaded. But the British started becoming serious about invading those neutral countries, like Norway.
But you leave it to me to guess where exactly I am wrong.
Right and what is your point? They did the other two first and when they saw that they could get away with violating treaties they had just signed they went ahead and invaded Poland too.That was after Austria and Czechslovakia had already happened.
and you would seem to be happy with the Germans taking over all that territory.Of course CptColumbo sees no problem at all for the Anglos to move into Europe in 1918 and destroy the entire European political structure. They can simply dissolve Austria-Hungary, no problem at all.
It was signed in 1934 and in it both countries pledged to resolve their problems through bilateral negotiations and to forgo armed conflict for a period of ten years. Which Nazi Germany broke.I am not aware of a non-agression pact with Poland.
I think you don't understand how violating written agreements with other nations might spark a war, and how the violator would be seen as the country that started the war.Regarding the one with Russia, you seam to have completely missed the discussion around Suvorov/Barbarossa.
