>> sn't it possible, that the United States had a very important reasons to choose Britain over Germany (other than just the prospect of a declaration by Balfour)? <<

i think you missed the whole point i'm trying to make. america should have chose neither. we should have never entered the war on either side.

>> What you seem to disregard, is the effect having a culture, language, and family in common. Britain was also a much greater trading partner with the United States than Germany <<

this is the problem we face in america today. americans think we always must take sides in every conflict. did you not read the quotes i posted of our founding fathers? they admonished us to stay out of europe's wars. that is the whole point of the declaration of independence. i hardly think it was in the minds of the founding fathers to break away from the british empire, form a new system of government, and then turn into another empire that meddled around the world like the british. endless wars brought down the british empire and will do the same to the united states.

>> From the very beginning, the United States bankrolled and supplied the British war effort <<

yap. those filthy bankers. they are usually around stirring up every war. bankers profit from wars.

>> In the early 20th Century, "banking and raw-materials cartels" were not "jewish dominated". They were dominated by White Anglo Saxon Protestants. <<

you might want to go research that a bit more. jews have dominated banking and international finance for millennia! they helped finance the american revolution. they helped agitate and finance the civil war. it was no different for WWI or WWII.
