"Paxman said that Britain had no choice but to fight,"
Nobody has ever argued that they didn't - that is a red herring
You claimed that Paxman has agreed with everything you said - I have given you a list of some of the things which were covered by the series and asked you if they are what you are claiming - you decline to respond - the sign of "someone who has made a lifelong study of the subject" I don't think!!
To say that the only claim you have ever made is that Britain had no alternative is a very stupid lie - you have defended every aspect of this bloodbath, the reasons for the war as "a fight against German tyranny", the "conscious support of all who enlisted", the conduct of the leadership.... every murderous aspect of it.
You have called soldiers who said they thought they and their mates were tricked into it "out of step" or "attention seeking liars".
You have refused to respond to the massive waste of money (€20) spent in 'honouring the fallen' and the contempt shown to their sacrifice by allowing arms fairs to tale place.
You have sided with one of the most bloodthirsty of generals in the war and instead, have blamed personal disputes with politicians - the irony of which doesn't seem to have struck home yet.
Your claim was that the Paxman series backed up your claims - you have a chance to show they did by responding to what was stated by the programmes - as I said, more to come.
Your claim on the series is like your claim on every other (all six) historian you put up - non existent, you made it all up by taking something that looks about right out of context and suggesting that that particular writer backs everything you say.
You are a phoney, and. like every mindless flag-wagger, you really are not very bright.
Put up or shut up
