Dave,
were responsible for the war, it was still not necessary for Britain to fight it.

That is your opinion. Historians disagree. I do not believe you to be better informed.

Whether or not they are historians is neither here nor there.

Seriously!?
I think historians know more about history. I do not believe anyone to be better informed about history, and certainly not you!

Chapter 5 of Messinger, on Lord Bryce.

The reports about German atrocities were basically true.

P75 "He (Masterman) saw the (Bryce) report as based on authenticated fact, which he always believed should be the basis of propaganda."

There is nothing here to support your false assertion "They were spreading deliberate lies about the Germans,"
