    The whole Irish thing was actually a reverse-historical punishment for spawning Bono.

            Britain got ripped off - Germany blew off the debt and had a big war for free.

              Same for Japan

              they got off easy on reparations

              nothing like the Treaty of Versaille, eh?

                That's because Britain didn't have balls in the interwar period. Only changed in 1982.

                    Yeah that was actually rather funny. Stuff like that gets lost so quickly.

                      Germany got Hitler to sign all the loans. Foolishly the banks didn't get a guarantor.

                        If they could pin all of the Habsburgers' debts on the Austrians, why didn't they do the same with Hitler's?

                          Yeah. I can see a bank officer telling Hitler that he needs a co-signer.
