You have no idea what your talking about, do you? It took all my self control not to pinkie you down.

We needn't fight for oil, we already own the oil over there. It's the American reserve oil.
We only even went near the oil because middle eastern fighting was destroying the oil.
We didn't actually ever get to the reserve or have to fight anyway, because the soldiers were beginning to leave Iraq.
Also, how the fuck would know what's up in the middle east? Were you fucking there? No, so shut your fucking mouth.

Actually, the crusades and in general wars for religion during the medieval period were not as stupid as you thought. Medieval society valued religion far more than most (not all) of our society does today. Kings' powers supposedly came from God (THEIR Christian, Catholic/ Protestant) God. Very often religion dictated allegiances, and the best occupying tactic in Medieval times was converting people. I won't deny a certain amount of stupid religious fervour resulting in needless bloodshed, but it' more complex than that. (it's a shame I feel I have to post everything as anon cus I'm quite enjoying this : ) )

nice to see someone else who studied Medieval history :) And yes, the Crusades were symptomatic of ignorance, racism, greed and even just a thirst for blood as well as other more justifiable thinking of the period. I would argue that that is not a 'European' thing though, it's just a phase the world went through before civil rights and globalisation.

America had a part in causing WW2, and did very little to stop it (sure it joined the war, but two years late after its home territory was attacked i.e. for selfish reasons). WW2 did not cause communism either. Communism in Russia started decades before WW2 started. You are right about the treaty of 1918, but it was ultimately the Great Depression in America which catalysed WW2. Most of the world is responsible for WW2.

Why the red pinkies here? He's damn fucking right, American fucking idiots.

You have misunderstood what I said. I stated that America "had a part in causing WW2", not 'America was entirely responsible for WW2'. Read what I write more closely. britfat was a sea away from Europe and still felt it was its responsibility to fight; America delayed mostly because it was profiting from the war and wished to play the Nazis off on Russia, causing unneccessary casualties. And yes, other countries stayed uninvolved, but they each had their own reasons and that does not justify America's neutrality. As for you not being a powerhouse, yes you were, you a fantastically wealthy continent even back then, but admittedly it was only because of WW2 that America became truly prosperous.

I am unaware of any wars that ever happened between America and Europe (perhaps you're thinking of America v.s. England?) and I refer you to my above response. I am not pissed at America for joining WW2, but it was irresponsible to wait for so long. I've already given several reasons why America was partly responsible for WW2, so I have nothing to add onat front.

Kicked the shit out of Europe in the revolution. Glad you took down a whole continent America...

Germany alone did not start WW2. The Great Depression had a lot to do with it, and the recalling of debt owed to America made Germany desperate. America also acted poorly during WW2, and profited from the war quite well. And don't forget that a lot of Europe fought against Nazism (and Japan's imperialism), and that in turn much of the world was responsible for unreasonable terms which made Germany very pissed off after WW1, arguably causing WW2.

Woodroy Wilson was present at the Treaty of Versailles. And while you are right that Europe had more to do with it, America's isolationism caused many unresolved issues. And furthermore, Germany did have a lot of debt to America.
