The Great War Was Entirely England's Fault: An Economic History of World War I (1999)
The Great War Was Entirely England's Fault: An Economic History of World War I (1999)
In 1998, Ferguson published the critically acclaimed The Pity of War: Explaining World War One, which with the help of research assistants he was able to write in just five months.[11][12] This is an analytic account of what Ferguson considered to be the ten great myths of the Great War. The book generated much controversy, particularly Ferguson's suggestion that it might have proved more beneficial for Europe if Britain had stayed out of the First World War in 1914, thereby allowing Germany to win.[38] Ferguson has argued that the British decision to intervene was what stopped a German victory in 1914--15. Furthermore, Ferguson expressed disagreement with the Sonderweg interpretation of German history championed by some German historians such as Fritz Fischer, Hans-Ulrich Wehler, Hans Mommsen and Wolfgang Mommsen, who argued that the German Empire deliberately started an aggressive war in 1914. Likewise, Ferguson has often attacked the work of the German historian Michael Stürmer, who argued that it was Germany's geographical situation in Central Europe that determined the course of German history. On the contrary, Ferguson maintained that Germany waged a preventive war in 1914, a war largely forced on the Germans by reckless and irresponsible British diplomacy. In particular, Ferguson accused the British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey of maintaining an ambiguous attitude to the question of whether Britain would enter the war or not, and thus confusing Berlin over just what was the British attitude towards the question of intervention in the war.[39] Ferguson accused London of unnecessarily allowing a regional war in Europe to escalate into a world war. Moreover, Ferguson denied that the origins of National Socialism could be traced back to Imperial Germany; instead Ferguson asserted the origins of Nazism could only be traced back to the First World War and its aftermath. Ferguson attacked a number of ideas which he called "myths" in the book. They are listed here, (with his counter-arguments in parentheses): Germany was a highly militarist country before 1914. (Ferguson argued that Germany was Europe's most anti-militarist country when compared to countries like Britain and France.)[40] The naval threat posed by Germany drove Britain into an informal alliance with France and Russia before 1914. (Ferguson argues that the British decided to align themselves with Russia and France seeing as they were more influential and powerful than Germany.)[41] British policy was due to a legitimate fear of Germany. (Ferguson shows how Germany posed no significant threat to Britain and British fears were driven by propaganda and economic self interest.)[42] The pre-1914 arms race was consuming increasingly larger portions of national budgets at an unsustainable rate. (Ferguson demonstrates using actual budget information of the European powers that the only limitations on more military spending before 1914 were political, not economic.)[43] That World War I was an act of aggression on the part of Germany that provoked the British to stop Germany from conquering Europe. (Ferguson infers that if Germany had been victorious over France and Russia, something like the European Union would have been created in 1914. It would have been for the best if Britain had chosen to opt out of war in 1914, seeing as Germany just wanted its "place in the sun.")[44] Most people were enthusiastic when the war started in 1914. (Ferguson claims that most Europeans were saddened by the start of war, especially when it dragged on long after it was supposed to end.)[45] That propaganda was successful in making men wish to fight. (Ferguson states that propaganda was not nearly as effective as most experts argue.)[46] The Allies utilized their economic resources to the fullest. (Ferguson argues that the allies made poor use of their vast economic resources such as those coming from their colonies as well as corruption in the war time governments. France and Britain both possessed huge colonial possessions that offered a plethora of resources as well as man power.)[47] That the British and the French possessed better armies than the central powers. (Ferguson claims that the German Army was superior seeing as they were composed of professional soldiers with better equipment and leadership.)[48] The Allies were better at killing Germans throughout the war. (Ferguson statistically shows that the Germans were actually far superior in exacting casualties than the Allies, this is due to German strategy and use of poison gas.)[49] The majority of soldiers hated fighting in the war due to intolerable conditions. (Ferguson asserts that most soldiers fought due to nationalism and a sense of duty.)[50] The British treated German prisoners more humanely than the Germans did. (Ferguson cites numerous occasions in which British officers ordered the killing of German prisoners of war.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niall_Ferguson- published: 07 Sep 2013

Rewriting WW II History 2 / Ancient Germany
Rewriting WW II History 2 / Ancient Germany
Welcome! Our topic in these three videos is a meetup.com talk by Brian Ruhe and Klaus Kaufmann titled "Revisionist History of Adolf Hitler". If you would like to support these You Tube videos or make a donation to my work, please go to the Donate button on my website at theravada.ca or the link on this You Tube channel, thanks. I am Brian Ruhe, a Buddhist follower and lay teacher. I also teach classes on revisionist history of World War II, the New World Order and UFOs. I teach in Vancouver, Canada in adult ed. at several school boards and community centres. I am also available to lead private and professional retreats, and to mentor on a one-to-one basis by Skype. You can call my Skype address at: BrianARuhe . You can join me on Facebook at: Brian Ruhe Vancouver. My latest book "A SHORT WALK ON AN ANCIENT PATH - A Buddhist Exploration of Meditation, Karma and Rebirth", is available in book or ebook form at Amazon.com at: http://www.amazon.com/Short-Walk-Ancient-Path-Exploration/dp/0968395120/ref=s... My first book from 1999, is "Freeing the Buddha," with chapter 13 "Adolf Hitler and Tibetan Buddhism", also at Amazon. The description for this talk was: Revisionist History of Adolf Hitler, by Brian and Klaus At: http://www.meetup.com/UFO-Conspiracy-Meetup-Group/events/147340012/ at Brian Ruhe's place Did you ever wonder why it's difficult to have an open and honest discussion about Adolf Hitler? Is what we have been taught accurate? For this talk we will have two speakers, Brian Ruhe and his guest Klaus Kaufmann who was born in Germany during the war. Klaus will give his views on Adolf Hitler. See his Bio below. The victors write the history books. Revisionism means the revising of our understanding of history. This talk provides evidence to support three views: 1) The New World Order international bankers had a secret intention to manipulate the allies, including Russia, into destroying the vibrant German economy. Winston Churchill said "I want to smash their economy!" 2) Adolf Hitler did not start nor want WWII and he did not prepare for such a war. 3) Germany preempted a massive Soviet invasion of all of Western Europe. With six million soldiers along the western frontier, Stalin had the largest offensive army in the history of the world and the USSR was the world's first superpower. Examine and discuss these controversial views and hear other amazing findings which totally rewrite the history of WWII. "The victors will never be asked if they told the truth" - Adolf Hitler The talk will be largely based on the below recommended You Tube videos. It would be good to view some before the meeting. If you can't come to the meeting please watch some of these videos anyway and leave a comment here.

Following a lifelong concern with health and healthful living, he became Assistant Publisher for Alive Books in Vancouver, BC, Canada, studied health sciences and eventually turned freelance writer. Since 1980, Kaufman has written over ten books on healing and alternative approaches to nutrition and medicines. In the last few years Kaufmann has been studying the nature of beliefs including astrology and yoga and their connections to healing from within and without. Kaufmann and his wife Gabi met in Johannesburg, South Africa, married in Namibia and lived in the Far East before moving to Canada, Today they live below Burnaby Mountain in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Secret History of World War II: Pearl Harbor and Germany
In recognition of Veterans Day, listen to Beyond 50's "History" talks with Mark Weber of the Institute for Historical Review. He will reveal little known history behind World War II. There's plenty of evidence that the Pearl Harbor attack by the Japanese, called "The Day of Infamy," was known in advance by President Roosevelt, and the U.S. government even provoked the enemy into doing it. It's deceit at the highest level! You'll also learn about other surprising truths involving Germany.Tune in to Beyond 50 Radio: America's Talk Show for Baby Boomers that promotes healthy aging for those in midlife.

Free is nice, but if you can afford to pay a little every month, it really helps us to continue producing this content. In which John Green teaches you about American involvement in World War I, which at the time was called the Great War. They didn't know there was going to be a second one, though they probably should have guessed, 'cause this one didn't wrap up very neatly. So, the United States stayed out of World War I at first, because Americans were in an isolationist mood in the early 20th century. That didn't last though, as the affronts piled up and drew the US into the war. Spoiler alert: the Lusitania was sunk two years before we joined the war, so that wasn't the sole cause for our jumping in. It was part of it though, as was the Zimmerman telegram, unrestricted submarine warfare, and our affinity for the Brits. You'll learn the war's effects on the home front, some of Woodrow Wilson's XIV Points, and just how the war ended up expanding the power of the government in Americans' lives.
