Thread Name: History and mythology of WW1
Subject: RE: History and mythology of WW1
Dave, that was a very minor point.
In the all the years we have been discussing this, I have never before or since referred to peace initiatives during the war.
I gave the quote making my point, but also gave the link to that the whole thing could be seen.
I did not pretend, as Rag does, that it was the only point.

My only case in all this has been that the army was generally well and competently led, that Britain had little choice but to fight and that the people supported the war.

I have quoted the historians on that with links to their articles.
That proves that it is indeed the view of the historians, and not just me.
None of you have been able to do that in support of your views because no historian holds them.
They are discredited and debunked myths.

You have still found nothing written in recent decades in contradiction.
I have.
Lots.
