Asked in WW1 Naval Warfare
Which was more important as a reason for Great Britain joining World War I?
The more important reason for Britain joining World War 1 was
the Schlieffen Plan, that Germany had written up. The plan involved
Germany attacking on two fronts; Russia and France. Almost
immediately this would of set sparks off within the Triple Entente;
Great Britain, Russia and France.
The biggest fault of the plan was that Germany would have to go
through Belgium to attack France. In 1839, Britain signed a treaty
with France stating that they would help Belgium, who were neutral,
if they were ever invaded. With Germany wanting to pass through
Belgium, Britain were forced to declare war on Germany, something
which the Germans had not expected at all.
If Britain had left it, essentially Germany would of invaded
both France and Belgium, and then would of been able to invade
Britain from the South. Germany could of won World War One if Great
Britain didn't attack.

Asked in World War 2, History of the United States, War and Military History
Was the U.S. right to stay neutral for so long why or why not?
The United States of American had every right to avoid entering
the 'European War' - though they did help Britain with lease lends
and so on. Then came the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. It was
that attack that brought America to officially come into the second
world war. It was America's vast production might and manpower that
enabled Britain and her allies to gain new strength and, with
America's help, defeat Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, the Italians and
the Japanese. The bond between America and Britain must never,
ever, be broken.
