Rag and Dave,
The history you profess to read is just ONE picture of that period.

OK, but it is the one picture that all the historians writing about WW1 paint.
If you reject it, you are claiming to know more than the historians.

Some people, that is those with any degree of intelligence, read absorb and decipher the information presented and consider ALL the available data.

That is the job of historians.
I read their findings and that forms my views.
On what grounds do you refuse to accept them?

To dismiss any historian is extremely foolish, but sadly we have come to expect no more of you.

I do not, but historians now reject the views of some who wrote decades ago without the benefit of evidence now available.
There used to be some with different views on those points I have put, but now they are discredited and debunked.

You have been left behind.
