They basically tossed everything at defeating the Germany with full knowledge it would be their demise. Basically a controlled crash. And to be fair they had been punching above their weight class for too long as it was. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735810&forum_id=2E#49003311) |

the UK has not been an independent nation since that time. it has been a 'soft colony' of both 'american' power and international finance, which has often dictated terms at a very granular level. for example, during the colliery shutdowns of the 1980's, international firms and investment trusts were often the ones calling the shots regarding which specific mining pits in wales or yorkshire would get the axe.
britons themselves had no say in these matters, having lost the war. |
