A conflict with the US would have been pointless I assume due to geographical reasons, very hard to send troops over. Meanwhile Germany was posing a threat quite nearby. But indeed there were very complicated times and it's hard to blame someone explicitly.

I agree with you about the King Edward material, feels a bit conspirative to me too. Although some political and economical points there make sense.

Thank you for the book reference, will check it out.

Btw, this discussion is a bit discouraging to me since I realise that not even after 100 years we can properly agree on some facts. Tech giants fighting fake news will have a big challenge.
