Letters to the Editor re Casement

The Power And The Gory!
Britain came close to governing the world in 1918, when Ireland decided to part company with it. Britain's only rational purpose in making war on the German, Hapsburg and Ottoman Empires and destroying them was to establish itself in World dominance.
