I never mentioned that - or did I anywhere??
But you mentioned the 'diplomatic entanglements' of which Britain was a main culprit. I'm just trying to figure out what they were ???

And for your information - just to keep to the right words before this thing escalates - the first one to "attack" was Russia.
Where did I say anything about the 'first one' to attack, which, by the way, was not Russia, but Austria-Hungary on Serbia, .

I was merely pointing out that it was Prussia's attack on the neutral nation of Belgium, which which brought Britain into the war, not any treaties with either Russia or France.

Come on redcoat anyone with a good historic knowledge (I consider you as such a person) knows due to what factors of national pride and national dominance this unavoidable WWI got kicked of.
You made a claim that Britain was a main culprit in the pre-war diplomatic entanglements, I'm just waiting for you to provide the evidence for this claim

Maybe we just quit this whole thread after your next post ?
