>>steamrolled in WW1
???????????????

Even Belgians did resisted more than you.

think its quite obvious that countries involved in a war do more for or against it than countries that are not

Breif history of German armed forces:
>win one (1) war against france in 1870
>chimp out
>we wuz empire
>start WWI
>lose (Millions of men dead)
>chimp out again
>go full retard
>start WWII
>lose AGAIN (millions of civilians dead/raped by russians)
>spend the next 70years split in half occupied by either the soviets or the Ameribros.

>Germany
>start World War I
Why are Americans so fucking stupid?

He's right tho

Germany didn't start WWI retardo.

>schilfen Plan
>naval competition with england
>begging bongs for an empire

German retardation is what started the war.

>steamrolled in WW1
We were neutral, and as such we were not steamrolled, Kraut.
>steamrolled in WW2
We held out longer than you Nazis expected, we capitulated because you completely flattened our second biggest city and threatened to flatten our third biggest city. I'd rather surrender than see my country completely destroyed and fall behind for the next century.
>handed over Bosnian refugees without a fight in oder to be executed by Serbs
You are free to read about Srebrenica yourself, you'll find that as usual, the British, American and the French were behind it, like every military failure of the past 50 years.

>being a country like the rest of the European powers means it's your fault
Germany did literally nothing wrong in WWI
The assassination of Arch-Duke Ferdinand and the rising tensions in the Balkans, coupled with complex military alliances is what started WWI

You're naive if you think a Serb nationalist started ww1, Germany wanted to destroy France and the U.K. It would have happened regardless

thanks for the tanks, dweebs.

>sold all their tanks to Mongols for pennies

thank you for getting yourselves killed when the big bad russian man invades so we don't have to

Dutch """"""resistance""""""

>handed over Bosnian refugees without a fight in oder to be executed by Serbs

I don't see the problem here.

>you will never be this cool

Dont mention it when the arrowhead rolls over your meager defences ;^)

We didn't participate in WW1.

And unlike Germany, we won WW2.

You and me, we know the truth
England was responsible for WW1

>steamrolled in WW1
???

>MUH EMPIRE WE WUZ GREAT POWER N SHEEEET

>being freed by others who fought and bled
>we won da war

WW1:
>neutral

>steamrolled

???

WW2:
>last 4 days unpreparedly in war against the largest military force in the world
>actually punch above our weight
>actually hold out for a while.
>2nd largest city gets bombed
>forced to capitulate as to protect the rest of the country
>we would've been neutral anyway, there was not point.

of course we would get steamrolled!

At least we're not Denmark


>last literally 6 hours
>6 HOURS!

also: the bombing of Rotterdam effectively made it easier for Rotterdam to eventually surpass Hamburg.Who wins now

Serbrenica
>French and British incapabilities

To be fair, we literally surrendered because Rotterdam was bombed. Yes, the argument for our unconditional surrender was "people die in wars". In isolation this is sensible, in context it was cowardly.

The sole reason why France could organize itself enough to cause the Miracle of the Marne in WW1 is because of how hard the Belgians resisted. Eventually their entire nation ended up under German control but they sabotaged their own railways, fought tooth and nail and refused to let their enemy pass. Their motto was: Belgium is a country, not a road. They won the war for their allies in a way. The Belgians are the unsung heroes of WW1.

Imagine a Netherlands where we didn't just fucking roll over. Imagine a scenario where British and French troops could march up into Belgium. Imagine the fight being taken to the Rhine. Imagine all the millions of lives that could've been saved. The decision the Dutch government took at the time overall cost more lives than it saved.

>At least we're not Denmark
You mean that country that had a monarch actually sticking with its people, rather than the one with monarchs that instantly fled to London and proceeded to do fucking nothing? Why didn't we become a republic after that downright betrayal?
>Hurr durr but it was too dangerous
Denmark.

Unlike Germany we have the power of friendship.
