Re: Politics -This should make interesting reading?
Can I offer a slight correction to your post blazey?
WWII was not started because of economic competition between countries, what you refer to as states.
It was started because Hitler had Napoleonic aspirations of conquering Europe and his first conquest after Austria was Poland. We had a treaty with Poland that should the country be attacked we would go to Poland’s aid.
When Hitler ignored our demand to withdraw from Poland we declared war on Germany.
If it hadn’t been for that treaty with Poland there would have been a good chance of us not getting involved in yet another European squabble. Hitler had no plans for invading Great Britain and would have left us alone.
