Who will win the german elections?

Shh.

All I have to say about the Aussies is that their seminal moment in WWI was dying by the tens of thousands at Gallipolli.

Seminal moment for the Canadians in WWI: taking Vimy.

[notyoueither]

or the Somme, just like all the other poor, dumb ****ers...

Right! Vimy it is!

[KrazyHorse]

The Germans used to beef up their defences whenever Canadians moved into their sector, and that speaks for itself...

[notyoueither]

or it speaks for good publicists.

[KrazyHorse]

Hush now, nye. I'm trolling. Let's not bring up the fact that we shouldn't even have gotten involved in that war...

Yeah, like you really had a choice once the English told you what to do.

[KrazyHorse]

Sadly enough Drake, we did. We simply chose not to exercise our choice.

[KrazyHorse]

What were the Greeks doing in that war, anyway? Lubing themselves up to make it easier on their once and future Turk overlords?

[notyoueither]

Wrong war, KH. That was '39. We spent all of a few days determining that we had a choice, and then promptly declared war.

We do know what loyalty is, afterall.

Yep. The rest of the Anglosphere is going to miss you guys.

NYE, though we didn't have to independently declare war (as we didn't yet have an independent recognised foreign policy), it would have been a neat question as to what would have happened had Parliament disavowed the British DoW

My feeling is that the G-G would have refused to sign it and we would be a Republic today.

Neverless, the fact is that ultimate control of any contribution to be made to the war effort rested in the hands of the GoC. There would have been no way to force contribution from us had we decided to withold it. Look at the conscription debate, for instance...

Speak for yourselves. Both the Aussies and the Brits feel like they've been finagled by you once too often. Never mind the NZers...

Not our fault that we have a government that listens to us instead of steamrolling over objections like Blair&co

I think you'll find that we have a hell of a lot more loyalty to each other than we do to you.
