Dave, suggesting that there was anything that Belgium could have done to prevent its invasion, and the massacres of its people, again shows your ignorance of the period.

Your claim that everyone including the left were "duped" shows your ignorance.
(" A series of retrospective myths have built up that suggest ordinary British and Irish people backed the war because they were deluded, brainwashed and naïvely duped into supporting the conflict. My research shows that this was simply not the case."

Your claim that people were "lied to about the Germans" shows your ignorance. You could find nothing to support it. You made it up!

The history books contradict you, so what is the source of your knowledge?

You just make things up in the vacuum of your head and claim it has equal worth as a researched history book!

You call yourself an "academic" but you are just a posturing buffoon.
