"I have gone to great lengths to state that I do not know enough of that history to argue for or against any of the statements in question."

Yet for some reason little Gnome on those WWI threads you still persisted in arguing instead of educating yourself on the subject being discussed, after having been given the information and numerous sources where that information could be verified - mysteriously your views and opinions based on the complete absence of knowledge were to be viewed as unassailable and correct and every one else's including people who had studied and researched the period for years were all mistaken - or put another way you completely ignored historical fact, logic and reasoning.
