Dave, all nations use propaganda in all wars, but you specifically stated that "They were spreading deliberate lies about the Germans" in the context of the start of the war.

I challenge that, and ask for an example of any such lying about the Germans.

Jim,
McMillian says that historians are at odds about most aspects of the war - read what she says.

I agree with her, but on those specific three issues they are in agreement, as I have shown.

You said it was why Britain had no other alternative but to fight.

I have never argued about events prior to the invasion of Belgium Jim, and I will not embark on a new one at this stage.
Ferguson aside, the historians all agree that Britain did have no choice but to fight after that.

I will remind you that Macmillan holds Germany and Austria-Hungary "responsible" for the war.
