Say that to prussian generals,that was their mistake. And i acknowledged fact that East Prussia were never in real danger,becouse russians would not send more then those 2 armies - even if they were never destroyed they could not take over East Prussia. Which made german HQ even more stupid -...

i forget one important thing - both Russia and Germany lied to their allies.Germany lied that they would send most of their armies to fight Russians,that is why A-H was so brave in 1914,and Russia lied that they would attack Germany first,when in reality they always planned to go for A-H and...

Not anti-german or anti-protestant,but anti-prussian.That is difference - germany lead by any other german nation would not go on conqest beliving that miracle always would save them. It is not about morality,but efficiency - you could be bad of good,but if you start conqest beliving that...

Fact A: Prussian worshipped and their remains still worshipp Frederic who lead them to suicidal war,but win thanks to mad tsar sarrifising many of them.He started war, used them as cannonfodder,but win,so he is hero. Fact B: And they fought against Kaiser Willy when he lead them to war,and lost...

1.Noot warfare - mindset.Prussian would worshipp any king who gave them victory,not matter how many of them was sacrifised.They defied Hohenzollern in 1918 only becouse they sacifised them and lost. 2.Królewiec is harbour - but Germany do not really need it.And medieval kings protected its...

1.Explaining to who? germans rulers who win wars never must explain anything.Frederick almost destroyed his country and lost part of population,but when mad tsar saved him and he win 7th war surviving prussian worshipped him for beating they get thanks to him. 2.No mines,factories,important...

In Września few polish children died after being beaten by german teachers.But usually they survived,so beating them to death was no norm. We are lucky that we do not get Herero treating.

I read that children in Wales was beaten when they speak their language in schools,the same goes for Irealand.That is why everybody speak english now there. Colonies - compared to what local rulers did before british come,they were nice guys.In Uganda,for example,local kings from time to time...

1.In modern war rulers first duty is win with as small casualties as possible.Kaiser could abadonn Prussia and win war till 1916 ruling Europe after that,or fight for that and lost all.Did it helped those prussian in any way ? Besides,East Prussia never produced anything worth keeping anyway...

Indeed.WW2 was possible only becouse both germany and soviets wonted it,and were strong enough to made it real.IF TR manage to remove one or them - either by making german states independent after WW1 or crushing Lenin - there would be no WW2.

1.So? they were emperors of Germany,not Prussia.East Prussia do not mattered anymore. 2.russian troops could misbehave just like german in Belgium,but they were no bunch of rapist and genociders.Prussian cyvilians would be mostly safe/like belgian cyvilians/ - and even if russian killed them...

East Prussia was not home of Hohenzollern,but polish vassal taken by Hohenzollern in 17th century.And not core area,but borderland. If they lost it for one year,so what ? russian from WW1 were not soviet,they would not rape all girls there.nothing important was made there.And germans would...

Another way for germans to win till 1916 - when Russia attacked Prussia,do not send anything.Even if they capture it,so what? Take Paris with unchanged Schielfien plan in 1914,defeat Russia in 1915,England invaded if they do not made peace in 1916. German victory without any miracle. All they...

They could made it earlier. In Poland many see Piłsudzki as saint,becouse he ,with few companies,tried to start Uprising against Russia in 1914/backed by A-H/ nothing come from that,but if he succed,2 russian armies send in OTL to Prussia would go there to massacre us. German would not widraw...
