How in God's name did the British ever manage to portray the Germans as the megalomaniacs? The German's only resort was to try and improve their position on the Continent. Lets also remember that the American war warmongering expansionist aggressors had just gobbled up Hawaii. They would have like to turn Japan into a vassal state, but the Japanese didn't play to the native stereotype. How Russia (the prison house of nations), France, Britain, The US and Belgium got to lecture Germany on self determination is as I've said quite beyond belief.
The aggressors had taken over virtually the whole of the rest of the world. They were in the process of eating up the Ottoman Empire and China the last significant bits of land left. It was Italy that fired the starting gun in 1911 on the final destruction of the Ottomans.

He particularly liked it being described to him as a prospective 'vassal'.And why's that so wrong. Ireland's independence was curtailed even after 1922. It didn't even have home rule in 1914. We're talking about a customs union and railway integration, we're not talking about Germany treating Belgians the way poor little Belgium treated the Congo. Britain, France, Russia and the United States had taken over most of the rest of the world. Germany's trade was at the mercy of these imperial expansionism, war monger navies. Germany had tried to build top class navy but had been out spent by the anti German British empire builders who thought they had a God given right to rule the world.
