Ungrateful Americans Unworthy of the French

In reading through the time line I see where France could have stayed out
of it. If France stays out then UK stays out which keep Canada out.

and then the US don't intervene, and there is no treaty of Versailles, and
therefore no WWII, and so on and so on...

Congratulations, as you have just demonstrated that selecting partial
historical events *out of context* (internal and foreign polices, leaders
personalities, alliances, peoples mentality, former events and history,
etc...) only leads to a biased, uncomplete and eventually false vision of
history...
