Okay. Germany got dragged into WWI to look after Austrian interests. They would have lost the war quickly, because the British put up a blockade on Chile. Gun powder was unavailable to Germany. But, the Germans invented the Haber Bausch Process, which allowed them to make synthetic gun powder, thus dragging the war out longer. Wilson wanted to make the World safe for Democracy, because Bismark really was a dictaorial bastard. Du hast nie meine Uraltere Oma getroffen. Wilson could have gotten into the war sooner, which is what he wanted, but he was up for re-election and didn't want to mess that up, as he did not get the popular vote in 1912. As soon as he was re-elected, he declared War, and loved every second of it.
I read the Balfour Document. Very straight forward; not cryptic.All it said was that they would consider giving Jews sancuary in Palestein, which they were perfectly free to do. Great Britain owned that piece of Real Estate. Whoopty do. You don't think England didn't have their own diplomats in Washington, working on Wilson? Do you think they cared to concede defeat? I'm sure they perfectly capable to do their own begging for troops. They didn't need to enlist Zionists to intercede for them.
