Wilson pushed the US into a war against those royal families and succeeded in toppling their regimes. As you also know, there was no GOOD reason to do that, except for Wilson's animus.
Well, then, we're delighted to note that a rather famous fellow who was intimately aware of European history confirms this....
This war would never have come unless, under American and modernising pressure, we had driven the Habsburgs out of Austria and the Hohenzollerns out of Germany. By making these vacuums we gave the opening for the Hitlerite monster to crawl out of its sewer on to the vacant thrones. No doubt these views are very unfashionable….–Winston Churchill, 8th April 1945Yes, they are "unfashionable," Winston. Truth is very often "unfashionable." But that doesn't make it "un-truth," does it?
One correction: the Hohenzollerns were Protestants, and not particularly friendly to Catholics (the Kulturkampf).
