Back then, just two sides of the same coin.
That is, just two ruthless empires with world domination, by force, in
mind.

like it to me.
John said:And I'm reading a Trollope novel right now. Lots of interesting stuff
about the British aristocracy, great Lords and tenent farmers, a bit
about Ireland, and some interesting stuff about the civil engineering
of the London Underground and the prominent role of alcohol in the
19th century. Just finished Walter Lord's superb book about the Battle
of Midway.
I don't remember much about my high school history classes. I guess I
wasn't very interested in history when I was 16.

Do they specially edit history books in the USA to be anti-British ? And
plain WRONG ! Seems like it to me.

You don't look like you're winning anything at the moment I'm afraid.

And we haven't forgotten you were years late into both World Wars. Until
your cosy existence was disturbed you didn't give a ****.
That's a pretty limited subject area but then Americans aren't reknowned
for any interest in affairs in other parts of the world.

up to until it was too late?

Neither was I but, as I grow older, history fascinates me.
Especially the part about using the lessons taught earlier in order to
keep from falling into pitfalls which could have been avoided by paying
attention to the past.
