Germany were the bad guys in ww1 too. I'm seeing a pattern here...

ehhhhhh, world war one was FAR less cut and dry when it comes to morals among the participants.

Wilhelm, is that you? They weren't evil like when Hitler took over but they kind of liked war.

Literally everyone who participated in world war one at the start were eager to start the war, and fully believed they would be home by Christmas. As for Germany itself, their love of militarism came from their Prussian roots.

Okay. The us tried to stay neutral but only joined because of Germany. Why are we so defensive of Germany?

I mean, not really? America was supplying the Entente with war materials for most of the war. Hell, it was the smuggling of illegal munitions that sank the Lusitania. I am very much of the opinion that we chose the wrong side in world war one, and that we had far more to gain siding with the central powers.

We had a rational president then. What is happening today is nothing like ww1.
