World War 1 history (Fearless Blue)

The Zimmerman Telegram was enough a reason, but only when Germany already knew the US would jump in the war. Otherwise your country wouldn't even be of deserving attention to the World powers of the time. The Unrestricted sub warfare was against Britain and not the Americas, so much blind people. Americans tend to claim victory to both conflicts they arrived late at, despicable. America meddled, that is what happened and I will continue with my rhetoric as I please. Were it not for the early Russian offensive... France would have fallen, Britain starved and America isolated even more.

Yes us imperialist Americans we can't help ourselves we are just so much more worthy then everyone..... Zimmerman telegram occurred before war declaration and could be considered an example of meddlesome Germans.... If it wasn't for the telegram US wouldn't have any justification for war and we would never have entered.... And I'm an American and I don't claim we won the wars it was Russia both times.... However you could claim we "won" the wars simply by the fact that America benefited most from the conflicts our economy was huge compared to Europe after the wars simply because you all destroyed each other while our manufacturing grew incredibly

I just did some research and it appears the Zimmerman telegram was a proposal of an alliance with Mexico only if US entered the war.... So I attribute the war to Americans predisposition to support democracy and an unusually interventionist president

You just realised your lack of excuse... Pity.... Meddlesome, Meddlesome... Meddlesome. Currently, the European GDP is greater than that of America.

Because there's twice as many people in Europe?.... Again an exceptional president named Wilson who began the whole interventionist policy which the US didn't pick up until the Cold War when we kept Russia from taking Europe and the world... When we gave billions of dollars to Europe so they could rebuild their economy

US should form the American Union and see who has a higher GDP then.... Or just make an alliance with china

Jmr32 and Thewhy pretty much nailed it, as near as I can tell from history. I will address a few points myself: to wit, the Lusitania was a British passenger liner, not a cargo vessel, and there were quite a few American passengers aboard, of which about 1500 were killed in the torpedoing. (if memory serves me correctly). Sorry, Herr Bauer, but Germany had it coming, sinking passenger liners like that.
The U.S. contribution to the war was not only bodies, but also huge amounts of materiel, food, trucks, etc.
Another thing, Herr Bauer, who was it that rebuilt your country TWICE after the wars? Yep, the eeeeevil Americans. Who gives more aid and rescue to victims of disasters worldwide than the rest of the world put together? Us meddlesome, selfish Americans. And don't get me started on Lend-Lease during the '40's. Maybe it's time we kept our money and our do-gooders at home, and see how long it takes the rest of the world to go to heck on its own.
As side note, Wilson campaigned on the slogan, "He'll keep us out of war!" Yeah, right.

To me, WWI was started from a series of diplomatic errors stemming from the assassination of one man. And that's what happens when you have so many military alliances.

not to mention how war casualties rise ahem *cough cough* America *Cough cough*


"HEY see that country there lets declare war and bomb it till it can't defend it's self then send in our troops to kill the injured soldiers and help the civilians and call the country a communist dictatorship!!!"

Now tell what country that sounds like?

"Im a bitch" what country does that sound like? id say Canada

Rebuild? You tried to make Germany a damn rural country after WWII until convinced that the world couldn't really function without Germany, so yeah, you are still evil and meddlesome. Twice after the wars? Are you ignorant Mr Maclean? Germany didn't suffer from destruction in the First World War. The second, is another story, your stealing of patents and destruction pretty much weighed out the fact that you "LENT" money to rebuild. Keep your stinkin blood stolen money to yourselves. Looking forward to when China rises.

Heated a bit

MERICA!!!!! FUCK YAHHHH!!!!!!

Well that escalated quickly...

Canada - founded modern peace keeping and helps third world countries daily by supplying food, water, and shelter as well as build schools, hospitals and generally improving the life of the citizens.

America - Get's in everyone else business, attacks countries by destroying infrastructure and the terrain with bombs and then deploying a few thousand soldiers to clear out the dieing and wounded soldiers that got bombed and helping the poor poor citizens who were under an iron thumb who also got caught in the bombing and called collateral damage.

they stole our oil arthur why wouldnt we invade them

America is all clumped together in massive cities and have no where to hide like in the wilderness. If attacked they would be decimated because they wouldn't be able to hide from their attackers to plan a counter attack and even though it would take a while they would fall. Americans are lazy and try to get stuff done fast and easy which a war on home turf isn't and thus wouldn't be very good at a defensive war.

Canada is spread around in the wilderness and small cities, towns and villages and has plenty of places to hide to form a counter attack and even though it would take a small amount of time to fall Canadians are not lazy and are willing to wait before striking. If conquered Canadians would quickly form a resistance supplied by France and England and most other countries and fight back and kick their conquerors out.

I assume you are speaking of the Taliban who when they were called Mujahadeen agreed that if America supplied them with training, guns and equipment would give them oil for cheap......

The US doesnt have to hide.... Shock and Awe Mother&^$*&^


US Spends 500 billion annually on armed forces
Canada spends 22 Billion

US has 1 million active duty personnel
Canada has 68,000

Canada has about 14 million people available for military service
US has 150 million

US has a Gun for every person
Canada has a gun for every 30 people


US has 100,000,000 acres of "wilderness"
canada is wilderness and when we conquer you we will have another 4 million square miles of wilderness and plenty of Ice for our beer when we watch football

Shock and Awe does not always work when on the defensive.

send an american seal team to my neighbor hood and lets see you wins my neighborhood or the seals. my money is on my neighbor hood cause none of us are sane and most have guns, swords, knives, bats and know martial arts.

why would we go on the defensive?

I don't know if I'm going to make this worse but America has nukes, Canada doesn't. Also yeah Canada maybe all wilderness but isn't it easier for us to attack? Can't we set up camp in the forests and when we are ready, we sneak attack your cities. And we also have a fort only couple miles off on the Canada border in NY. I believe (not sure) its the largest fort in the United States! We also could attack via Navy and create blockade of your country. Also, we could create a no-fly zone over most of Canada. We then could kill your economy by taking out Toronto and Montreal. The downside Canada is ran by Britain (at least that's what I heard) so America would never attack because we are in bed with Britian.

the border has very little wilderness so American forces trying to cross the border and enter the woods with swaths of equipment wouldn't go unnoticed.

Nuking Canada would screw America up as well.

We have many allies with air forces it doesn't matter how strong your one air force is, Britain's, France's, and other countries from NATO and the UN combined air forces would win, same goes for the Navy thing.

our navy .vs. ur navy would be unfair and not because yours is larger and stronger..... ours is all being retrofitted or scrapped and replaced.

Re: Germany after WW1: I stand corrected, Germany was not bombed to rubble (as some say it should have been), but it was the British and french who insisted on reparations for the losses they suffered. America was involved in providing aid, but not enough to pull the Weimar republic from hyper-inflation.
and let me remind everyone that it was the whole of Europe that wanted a divided Germany until 20-25 years ago. Some of you youngsters may not remember when there was a West Germany and an East Germany, a legacy of the Cold War. I grew up under the threat of imminent nuclear annhilation from the Soviets, and I never thot I would say this, but it was almost better then than now. at least you knew who the enemy was, and little wannabe rogue nuke countries weren't so uppity.
