>fight actively and enthusiastically as part of Central Powers war machine >when war is over, Entente somehow completely forget this and approve first Czech state since the Middle Ages >march in Russia and steal the tsar's gold
Join the wrong side but unfortunately the retarded krauts provoked us into it. Lusitania, unrestricted submarine warfare, zimmerman telegram. What the fuck were they expecting?

There's no hope to stop the hun now that Russia is out of commission >Quelle tragédie. >suddenly a sound was heard from across the ocean >AMERICA FUCK YEAH >Get lost, Hans. >Nein bitte, tu mir nicht weh, America-kun. Ich gebe auf! And so, at 11:00 AM on the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent and peace returned.

Really, nobody had much sympathy for Berlin outside German and Irish-Americans. The general stereotype was of Germans being jack-booted Old World militarist despots and German industry was also widely seen as a threat to American manufacturing. That and Woodrow Wilson was a huge Anglophile who had often spent his summer vactions in the UK. German attempts at disseminating propaganda in the US were also comically awful.

>lusitania was liable to be bombed it was carrying cargo munitions to be used in war. Basically mutt golems threw a bunch of women and children on a warship and then cried it got sunk.

Apparently you all had issues with Quebecois refusing for fight for Britain and draft dodgers were shot, which caused even more butthurt.

>The Battle of the Porpoises was an event involving the Brazilian Navy off Gibraltar in November 1918, at the end of World War I.[1] Thinking it had approached a submarine of the German Empire, the Brazilian navy attacked and decimated a band of porpoises.[2][3] KEK
We fired a warning shell at a German ship that was going to deliver supplies to u-boats.

>On April 9, 1918,[1][2] Milhais took part in the battle known in Portugal as "The Battle of La Lys" – the first day of Ludendorff's Lys Offensive, otherwise known as "Operation Georgette", and as the "Battle of Estaires" in official British history.[3] He found himself in the midst of the battle, in the field of Isberg, covering the withdrawal of Portuguese and Scots soldiers.[2] Within a few hours, 1,938 men had been killed, 5,198 wounded and about 7,000 taken prisoner. Milhais was in charge of a Lewis gun on April 9, 1918. During Operation Georgette, when the German Army attacked his division, Milhais laid down intensive fire against assaults by two German regiments, causing many German casualties.[4] He managed to cover the retreat of Portuguese and Scots alike, despite coming under heavy attack himself.[1] He fired in all directions and stayed at his post until he ran out of ammunition. Finally, the Germans decided to go around his position, and Milhais found himself alone in the rear of the enemy lines for three days.[1] On the third day, Milhais, still carrying his Lewis gun, rescued a Scottish major from a swamp, and the two reached Allied lines. Milhais was warmly welcomed, but being a modest man he did not say anything about his experiences. However, the officer he had helped reported his actions to the British headquarters and several other testimonies also made his deeds known.[1]
>A few months later, Milhais once again held back a German assault single-handed with his Lewis gun, allowing a Belgian unit to retreat safely to a secondary trench without casualties. Both the British observers present in the scene and the Belgian commander included his action in their reports.[1] Milhais was awarded the highest Portuguese distinction - the Order of the Tower and Sword - and the French Légion d'Honneur, delivered on the battlefield before 15,000 Allied soldiers.[1]
my grandad fought on the western front. this is a record from the day he got shot on 11/4/18. got it on an ancestry website. amazing what you can find these days

As I understand it, most of Spain's trade was with the Entente members but Madrid also had no beef with the Central Powers or conflicting interests so there was zero reason to want to fight them.
Owen Campbell
Oh yes the rubber, don't forget about the poor cunts farming the valuable white wood fluid

>get conscripted to fight in British wars after they starved/robbed/enslaved you Lal.

We fought on three fronts: We first kicked jerry out of Namibia with the help of the good Portuguese lads in Angola. We actually had a bit of a gun shortage, but Joao helped us again by gifting us 12000 or so of his own. After Namibia some troops went to Europe. Our most famous battle there was at Delville Wood, which was part of the greater engagement at the Somme. Our last and worst performance came in East Africa (Tanzania) were some kraut called Vorbeck outsmarted our army and many died from disease. Also Joao didn't expect him to come though the backdoor into Mozambique so that was a disaster. Chad

Then in WWII they just invented synthetic rubber instead so the party was over.
Andrew Bennett
Watch, lol.
Chase Bell
Be neutral, sell some stuff and write about the flu
Chase Hill
ACKSUALLY...what happened was Japan took over Indonesia as they wanted its rubber plantations for themselves. The Allies couldn't get enough natural rubber as Brazil alone couldn't meet the demand. So they had to invent synthetic rubber instead.
Dominic Campbell
...Were the strongest individual power, I'd say. But in the end, losing the war cost us everything in the long run up to 1945.
Nolan Gray
At least we got a steel factory, gg lads
Nicholas Clark
i think that also killed Chile's nitrate industry. they invented synthetic nitrates in WWI or something like that.
