Why couldn't they get along?
>>215331800Emperor Wilhelm II wanted a powerful navy, Britain took that personally, before that Britain and Germany had okish relations, their royalty had close ties and even awarded each other honorary posts in their militaries
>>215331800Bcz Willy II gad weapon grade 'tism.
>>215331872*had
>>215331800 thucydides trap
>>215331800German goods were of better quality and cheaper than British.Fun fact is that British govt launched a "made in Germany" smearing campaign, forcing importers of German products to put the "made in Germany" label on them, hoping that it would scare the customers off, but it actually gave the opposite result and people would only buy them even more often.
>>215331800The entirety of WW1 was basically just one big misunderstanding, we were largely friends before that.
>>215331800On the surface it was all about le navy but I think it was all about power dynamics. One of the biggest mistake in history however and later our relations even better eg in 1913 the UK offered us to carve up the Portuguese colonies with them.
>>215332253it's because you fired bismarck, it never would have happened if bismarck had stayed in power
I don't know why the UK sacrificed itself, its empire and its own interests for the good of little eastern European nations like mine but...thanks for that
>>215332299Maybe Bismarck should have allowed Germany to democratise and be more politically resilient rather than just resting the ship of state into the hands of a few elites that can crash it into the rocks with their incompetence

>>215331800anglo freemasons wanted and still want to destory the white race
>>215332437it's a true story bro
>>215332656It's true that 'made in' labels were invented by us (like all useful things)The reason though is because German industry was legitimately terrible, when their industrial revolution happened they were renowned for making awful quality knock off goods and trying to pass it off as legit, which is why the label was invented Later on they got better of course but that's where it came from
>>215332618*jews
>>215332814>It's true that 'made in' labels were invented by usthanks bronow we can use the "made in EU" label and tell poor Asians that our stuff comes from Italy or something
We are actually one people and frens but the (((people))) in charge didn't like that
