The French were our allies during the American Revolution. They were our allies in 1917-1918. They were our allies in 1941-1945. What were the Germans?

Excellent point. Go to Yorktown in the spring when all the flags are up on the berms and gun emplacements see what flags fly there. Remember the Battle of the Capes a turning point in the war that prevented relief for Cornwallis.
However WWI was just a mess since I don't think anyone really knew what the heck they were fighting for. Just turned into a big chit storm when Austro-Hungarians were pressing for war with Slav states.
