The American Revolution of 1776 was not only successful, it led to the creation of a nation that threatened the British Empire. This was due to the creation of a series of national banks which were skillfully managed. As a consequence the British schemed to destroy those banks, and their chosen stooge for this was Andrew Jackson. Jackson hated banks and loved slavery. He began the forced removal of native Americans from southern states, and sold their ancestral lands to planters, thus making the south dependent on agriculture and ultimately slavery. The British then sent in a few agents to agitate over slavery, thus dividing the industrial and commercial north from the slave-owning south. This is the basis of the US Civil War, which was fomented by the British to destroy the USA, and lead to the south leaving the United States.
However, Lincoln saw this and opposed it, and won the war. For this the British assassinated Lincoln through a plot run out of Canada.
The United States survived and grew to overtake the British Empire as the world's dominant economy. Seeing this, nations such as Russia and Germany joined the United States in an unofficial pact against the British, and began to build land-based trade routes based on rail, far away from the powerful British Navy.
So, seeing this, Prince Edward, later King Edward VII, brought Great Britain out of 'splendid isolation' and formed a series of treaties which would encircle Germany in war. The British Monarchy were at the head of global Freemasonry. The assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand was the event that destabilised Europe. The assassins of Ferdinand were Freemasons who admitted at their trial to receiving assistance and encouragement from Freemasons abroad. Edward Grey did all he could to not find a diplomatic solution, while King George V told Germany that British would not join in any war. This encouraged Germany to mobilise, which in turn encouraged Russia to mobilise, eventually leading to Germany invading Belgium. But as soon as Germany invaded Belgium, King George V told Edward Grey to get Britain into the war! Thus Britain tricked Germany into starting the war.
The series of treaties engineered by King Edward VII then fell into place, and Europe and later the world, was at war.
The British were relying on the United States for finance and materiel, and desperately needed the United States formally in the war to supply men. So Churchill allowed The Lusitania to be sunk by a German U-boat. The Lusitania was carrying many US citizens, but it was also carrying weapons for Britain. The expectation was that the outrage in the United States at the loss of so many American civilian lives would bring the USA into the war against Germany, but it failed. So in July 1916 Britain was not winning the war. As a last attempt the British ran the campaign at the Somme, but that too failed. Britain became desperate.
The Zionists then took their chance and told the British that they could get the USA into the war, but in return the Zionists wanted Palestine as a homeland for the Jews.
The USA joined the war against Germany in April 1917, which made a significant impact. The British then issued The Balfour Declaration in November 1917.
With the USA formally in the war, Germany was doomed.
The League of Nations was proposed by President Woodrow Wilson, who was a slavery-loving Anglophile fan of the KKK, and also a puppet of Anglophile bankers on Wall Street.
After the war Edward Grey (he who got Britain into the war) toured the USA trying to convince the USA to join The League of Nations. Grey almost died from exhaustion from this, but he failed. And so too did The League of Nations.
Kaiser Wilhelm II would later write in his memoirs that he was told by 'a distinguished Freemason' that Freemasonry organised the war. Wilhelm also named Edward VII, Edward Grey and Delcasse as guilty for the war.
So the British monarchy had a motive to instigate the war, they had the means via Freemasonry, and their allies proposed and worked towards a world government as a solution.
