    Wring on many points, not least that the Treaty Ports were useless after May 1940 when France fell, and shipping was diverted north of Irelan due to the threat of air attack. This also impacts the suggestion that the US could easily access ports. Not so, as that shipping route was already closed, and mine barrages laid across southern approaches. No mentions of widespread intelligence cooperation with MI5 and OSS.

I don't see any other civilization that's going to take down the Anglo-Saxon without a nuclear Holocaust and ending in the world as we know it so the Anglo-Saxon empire is here to stay maybe forever..... Just my personal opinion I think the Anglo-Saxon empire will be the last empire.

    Are you sure that the Soviet Union reached the Arab countries that no one knows for or against which party? I do not think that the Soviet Union had a great influence on the Arab world, and I do not rule out that even the United States did not have an influence on the Arab world except in the days of Saddam in 1990. Here the United States began to have a relationship with the Arab world in confusion and in a positive way, and then from the days of Obama, no one can trust the United States, which has become in a relationship with Iran. In this, there is a very big mistake, which is that Obama may have relatives from Iran, and from his name you find that he is a stranger in the world, and the United States of America, which after Obama became nothing.

    Regarding the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Lenin's new regime negotiated it under duress as the Bolsheviks were engaged in a civil war and were willing to concede just about everything to the Central Powers to end THAT conflict so it could concentrate on its real opponent - the rest of Russia. You are certainly correct that the terms imposed upon Austria and Hungary (which started WWI) were far worse than those imposed upon Germany. One thing you did not mention was that the former joint monarchy lost all its coastal territory on the Adriatic, land locking the two successor republics. Regarding the Treaty of Versailles, France - which had suffered the most from the fighting - wanted the reparations from Germany as compensation for the devastation the retreating German soldiers had rendered in the closing months of the war. Northeast France was a shambles in 1918.
