Here’s what we Americans need to know about World War 1.
A German submarine sank a British ship with over a hundred U.S. citizens on it. President Wilson, being a “progressive,” negotiated with the Germans to persuade them with talk to stop attacking commercial ships and used his anti-war accomplishment as a slogan to get reelected the next year (1916).
The Germans decided to resume attacking U.S. ships with submarines in 1917 and invited Mexico to be Germany’s ally with a promise to help Mexico conquer and take Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Germany sank 7 U.S. private commercial ships before the U.S.A. decided to stop the Germans
Feeling all gooshy about Heinrich’s crazy descendants in our midst, yet, and wanting to join him in his fourth effort to brainwash and conquer the world? I’m not.
The real error committed by Wilson and his men was their “progressive,” peacenik assumption that winning World War 1, was that it would end all wars. Silly.
Human beings won’t stop wars from happening again. Some nations want to conquer and steal other countries and enslave people, and we must be prepared to stop them from doing that to us.
Wilson and his intellectual idealists gave us the failed League of Nations which reincarnated as the UN--the "gift" which keeps on taking.
