The forgotten ruthlessness of Canada's Great War soldiers

But it is disingenuous to see the allies as some sort of saviors in the great war.

I suppose what I meant and I should have clarified this was that Germany was unfairly blamed. The practice of politics leading up to ww1 was aggressive from all states and to think that Germany was the aggressor without looking at Britain's past actions which were aggressive as well leading up to the war usually do not get many mentions. It is important to know just how aggressive British policy was to other states even to France in regards to political competition. I mean if you are technically looking for the real aggressor one can just point to Austria or Serbia and be done with it. But in regards to Germany and with the political climate at the time they did not have much choice and the British and French actions definetly did not help to ameliorate things.

However, there is no need to be condescending and say that YouTube videos or other sources need to be watched.
