So.. What I gather from this was that WWI was only won by the Allies because they turtled. Such a unbiased view on history.

@eamonnXneverXcoke lol i wasnt reading the title of this, just what you put an replying... lets pretend we were talking about WW2, u loose n00b.

[eamonnXneverXcoke]

@SAMLAD2k6 yes i know all about ww2 but this is ww1

[SAMLAD2k6]

@eamonnXneverXcoke Dunno about WW1, Germany didn't give it a good enough go the first time. Second time around, Russia pushed back Germany in Stalingrad, it was the turning point of the view, and nothing to do with America or England.

@SAMLAD2k6 russia surrenderd to germany in 1918 before the war was over they singned the treaty in poland (not sure where) but it was the same point were they split poland in ww2 if you new about the russian civil war it was whites againt reds whites made up of tsarist old government supporters kulacks and THE ALLIES they where involved to force russia back in but when ww1 was over they left thats why the whites lost and it wasnt called stalingrad in ww1

@xpandapanda

This is so true. My teacher had been terribly biased.

[SAMLAD2k6]

@eamonnXneverXcoke What happend in stalingrad?

[eamonnXneverXcoke]

@SAMLAD2k6 yes they did and you need to get your war right cause if you look it up lenin pulled the russians out and what i ment about the tanks was they didnt use them as effictivley as they were on the defensive just look it up cause i really cant be arsed to explain simple details about the october revolution and why the germans didnt use tanks till ww2 but the tank thing is explained in modern marvels

[SAMLAD2k6]

@eamonnXneverXcoke Russia did not pull out b4 it was over, see Stalingrad. Also, Germans used tanks. You need to talk to your history teacher in school, Eamon.

[eamonnXneverXcoke]

@SAMLAD2k6 russia pulled out before it was over after lenin got into power in the october revolution but america major role like you said was industrial but they joined near the end just so they could say "wow you british and french would have lost if it was not for us" despite the fact germany was on the defence for the most part of the war thats the reason they didnt use tanks as they were a offensive weapon
