I note that Keith now appears to have accepted that it is correct at this stage to use the term "revisionist" to refer to those sharing his views.   

These terms do get confusing, as when the term "conservative" is applies to Communists in the context of modern Russia.

One thing I find puzzling in Keith's posts is that he seems under the impression that those who see the Great War as a disaster that could have been avoided, or believe that terrible mistakes were made by those organising the killing also believe that the war was generally unpopular throughout. That is not a view I have ever come across. Sadly the reverse appears to have been the case well into the war on both sides, as is generally the case in wars.
