Re: Why did the USA save your enslaved asses in WW 2 big mistake, hope we won't do it again Well, let's be more accurate here... The USA came to the rescue of the European bourgeoisie in 1945 because the US bourgeoisie correctly anticipated that Europe's bourgeois regimes were on the brink of widespread, communist revolution! The US feared that, unless US troops invade and occupy it, Western Europe was doomed to undergo what Germany underwent 27 years earlier: German Revolution of 1918–19 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The German Revolution (German: Novemberrevolution) was the politically-driven civil conflict in Germany at the end of World War I. The period lasted from November 1918 until the formal establishment of the Weimar Republic in August 1919. The roots of the revolution can be found in the German Empire's fortune in the First World War and the social tensions which came to a head shortly thereafter. The first acts of revolution were triggered by the policy of the Supreme Command and its missing coordination with the Naval Command which, in the face of defeat, insisted on continuing a lost battle with the British Royal Navy. The Wilhelmshaven mutiny (a sailors' revolt) then ensued in the naval ports of Wilhelmshaven and Kiel, and the spirit of rebellion spread across the country and led to the proclamation of a republic on 9 November 1918. Shortly thereafter Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated. The revolutionaries, inspired by communist ideas, failed to take control as the Bolsheviks had in Russia, as the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) leadership refused to work with those who supported the Bolsheviks.
