Episode notes
i'm not for a moment arguing that the germans wouldn't have inflicted a fairly draconian piece on this country. And it was not in our interest in 18 71 to fight to keep alsace lorain for the french and stop the french having to pay a large indemnity. It was no more in our interests in 19 14an i think that in terms of belgium, the belgian issue,. is, of course, what finally persuades lloyd george to throw his lot in on the side of the warmongers at the time. This was entirely undemocratic. It was secret diplomacy at its worst.
