This thread is stupid to be honest, you are being hypocritical of an entire nation due to the fact you have spoken to some british people who dislike America(ns)

I dislike some things about America such as the way they bring their young up to be arrogant, I dislike how they handled Iraq and how they constantly lean on otheres for help but never learn from the error of their ways. You leave a man with no loyalty or courage in the highest office in your country to lead you :s Thats just plain stupid.

America participated in WW1 purely for economical profit.
America participated in WW2 purely because Japan completely owned her Navy at Pearl Habor.

Oh and the fact some ***** were being arragant to me and my mate on xbox live due to our nationality...

If the USA did not join the Leauge of nations after WW1 there would not have been a second war, Woodrow Wilson was an idealist person who had no clue about peace as the inventor of the leauge to keep peace.The league fell to pieces becuase of many factors, if the USA bothered to help out then it would of stood up to Germany.
And if they did not care about money so much thenmaybe things would be different.

That is just one reason why some Brits sucj as myself might dislike Americans. Not to mention that they some are rude, arogant and pompus.

But that is just some viewpoints, me personaly dislike some Americans bt not all. I have many friends in the USA :)

Oh and just to finish, we do not care about the revolutinary war, at one time Britain was one of the powerfulest countries around, And also American independence shaped a path to the future of trade etc in the world. So we benefit from it so we cant really care much about it.

And the problems with Iran which is coming up will just lead to another conflict just for some oil for economic use for the USA who are using up most of the fossil fuels and polluting the planet.


Lol learnin about WW2 in GCSE history :)

We've just done WW1 and the repercussions of the Treaty of Versailles upon Germany. Now we're doing the rise of Hitler.

If you wanted to be smart or w/e, you could blame WW2 on the Americans. W. Wilson imposed a democratic government on Germany which was forced to Sign the treaty of Versailles, causing hyperinflation and civil unrest in Germany. Although Germany improve and the U.S invested in Germany, the wall street crash financially crippled Germany and the resulting depression paved a way for Hitler to become leader...

Which world war? the one they came in after wed more aless one becuse the uboats sank one of there passenger liners? While befored theyed been selling the warships to the germans?

The Americans Didnt like getting envoilved back then, hence why woodrows prediction came to pass. id say its the same sort of mistake thats left them with bush in charge and laws agaist being "annoying"

...plus *** woulnt have been born? They were invading? We may have been under german rules but that doesnt equate to geniside like what he was doing with the gays and jews "/

You could blame america, but not realy woodrow, he was all for the lenait treaty, it was clemonso who was doing all the pushing for harshness, unspurpsing since his contary had been blown in to peaces "/ Loyed was pretty newtral althogh public opion forced him to go with clemonso, after all he only got power by clameing hed make germany pay?
Plus germay didnt to do badly, big recovey up until wallstreet crash, if stressemen hadent died thogh i suspect he would have manged to get germany threw that as well. he was a genius with that sort of thing "/.

The fact the treaty was extremely biased didn't help. Woodrow's points were intended for the whole world, not just Germany. I just want to know what Hitler would of done if he had siezed power in 1923...

I don't hate americans, I went to the US last summer, and everyone I met was really friendly.
All that bothers me is the way some americans are very materialistic and superficial, but they are generally nice people.
