The UK & France alone roughly outspent the Centralpowers by 2:1 which you should know making an economic argument.
Really? What are your numbers? Great Britain spent the equivalent of 35,334,012,000 dollars during the war while France spent 24,265,583,000 dollars. Combined, this comes out to less than the Central Powers total of 60,643,160,000 dollars. 2:1 is what you get by adding the entirety of the Allies (yes, this includes the generous contribution of the USA).
Ausro-Hungary and Bulgaria grows super powers without the US? Must be since A-H is able to force Italy out of the war if there isnt a Italian offensive every mont
You have seen what Caporetto did to Italy, right? And you`re proposing cutting
all support to Italy. So yes, without Entente support, Italy folds because Austria-Hungary did have German help in this sector.
the same obviously is true for Bulgaria as they according to you are going to throw the Entente into the sea on the Balkan front.
I`m assuming the Entente go by your strategy of cutting loose dead-end fronts to concentrate on the Western front, so obviously Salonika would be given up as well.
How is establishing a proper defensive line and planning better offensives giving up?
Because Germany is the one occupying French territory, not vice versa. It is France that needs to liberate its territory, and the UK that needs to liberate "poor little Belgium". If they go on the strategic defensive, without the promise of American involvement and with Russia gone, they are basically admitting that they can`t dislodge the Germans.
And really, "planning better offensives"? The OTL late-war ones worked so well at least partially because the Entente had total dominance in materiel and firepower. And you expect them to do the same with less of
everything? And people say that the Germans are the ones who handwaved materiel problems away...
And I will leave you with a final thought on this matter, having seen the tender care given to Belgium and Serbia at the hands of the Centralpowers and the generous peace agreements the Centralpowers gave Russia and Romania what makes you think that UK and france would sign a peace treaty when they know what to expect?
The difference being is that the French and British can expect better outcomes if they negotiate from a position of relative strength rather than total defeat like Romania, Serbia, Belgium and Russia did. The reality of the situation is that the Entente don`t have infinite resources to pursue the war forever until they reach final victory, regardless of your wishes.
But I`m really starting to think that none of this matters to you, given that you`d so easily dismissed the statements of British ministries at the time, and that all you really care about is "Germany must not win under any circumstances".
