This is the same situation, mind you, with the various peninsular and Napoleonic wars

2020-09-25 17:46:06 UTC  

the UK crippled itself financing that conflict and all of it's continental allies

2020-09-25 17:46:17 UTC  

Napoleon sold the US Louisiana to pay for it

2020-09-25 17:46:32 UTC  

the US, at the time, got a loan from the Brits to purchase Louisiana

2020-09-25 17:46:34 UTC  

the UK knew in its heart it was over for them after the Boer War didn't go as planned.

here's the best part

2020-09-25 17:46:53 UTC  

*the Brits, technically, financed the French's own attempted Invasion*

2020-09-25 17:47:00 UTC  

by lending money to the US to give to the French

For your information that's not a disputed fact. It's quite literally stated on Wikipedia

2020-09-25 17:47:30 UTC  

All historians agree on this

2020-09-25 17:47:53 UTC  

This is mainstream admitted historical record

Go to Wikipedia

Go to any site on the internet

You make an assertion like the US is a Crown Colony and you want me to do your fucking legwork during my workday?

2020-09-25 17:48:37 UTC  

I'm sitting here with the national debt chart

2020-09-25 17:48:43 UTC  

and it goes down from 1914-1918

2020-09-25 17:48:46 UTC  

considerably

2020-09-25 17:49:04 UTC  

Why are you on the national debt chart? Go to a historical overview of ww1

2020-09-25 17:49:44 UTC  

>historical overview of the conflict where the US made absurd amounts of profits by taking other nation's hard currencies to supply them with military goods they couldn't afford otherwise, fueling our own economic boom and eventual rearmament

Each of these fantabulous claims are being real-time debunked. DC wasn't formed in 1871, the Organic Act of 1871 dissolved Georgetown and Washington, DC into just DC. And it is 6 pages long and I was reading it to find mentions of us turning into a Federal Corporation owned by Queen Victoria, but no such luck.

2020-09-25 17:50:26 UTC  

our surplus v deficit ratio per year preceding WW1 was 36:11

2020-09-25 17:50:41 UTC  

paying off the civil war debt

2020-09-25 17:51:08 UTC  

"the queen told our president to get in the war or else" There was no queen, it was a King.

2020-09-25 17:52:01 UTC  

If you want to complain about debt spending then look at Truman or something, dude

2020-09-25 17:52:04 UTC  

or cite your fucking sources

2020-09-25 17:53:03 UTC  

"literally go to literally wikiipedia and literally read the mainstream history about why we ented WW1" OK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_entry_into_World_War_I

2020-09-25 17:53:04 UTC  

Mind you a huge amount of debt for the federal government, something like 70% of it created during WW1, was to the US public via the sale of Liberty Bonds and other temporary financial products

2020-09-25 17:53:09 UTC  

not to foreign powers
