Oliver Cromwell's been paying for his sins for 360 years. snicker. So have all the other oppressors who pestered us.
"...up to the end of WW1..." That was Napoleonic. Haig and his cronies were all thinking in terms of the PBI making the break through to be followed by Cavalry exploitation. Very Napoleonic. Except when the CEF did it at Vimy, Haig had nobody waiting.
"...wouldn't have so many Germans..." George I was called Germanicon George for a reason. Born in Hanover. Owned the titles and lands of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg. Hired 1 August 1714 when his 2nd cousin Anne died. Long after Ollie made his mess.
