Episode notes
Some historians argue that this country could have stayed neutral in 1914. But the dominating instincts of Germany's leadership were hardly been moderated by triumph in 1914. They didn't go to war with a grand plan for world domination, but soon after war had broken out they identified massive territorial rewards as their price for granting an armistice to the Allies. To believe that Britain could and should have acquiesced in a German triumph in 1914 requires one to believe in the moderation and generosity of Germany's rulers as some of us cannot.
