📖 Did UK provoke WWI to create Third British Empire?

New York Times bestselling author Richard Poe argues that Great Britain played a key role in both WWI and the Bolshevik Revolution. Here’s a breakdown:

🔶 Poe highlights that while WWI shattered the German, Russian, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian monarchies, the House of Windsor remained intact.

🔶 He claims Britain aimed to build a "Third British Empire" by dismantling geopolitical rivals, particularly Russia and Germany.

🔶 Before WWI, Russia and Germany had close ties - an alarming prospect for British strategists like Halford John Mackinder, author of the Heartland Theory.

🔶 London saw Russia as a tool against Germany. Gavrilo Princip, who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, belonged to The Black Hand, a group reportedly linked to British intelligence.

🔶 Britain backed the Bolsheviks amid WWI to dismantle the already weakened Russian Empire. Poe asserts Leon Trotsky was a British agent.

🔶 However, Britain’s support for Russian revolutionaries was strategic, not ideological - rooted in the long-running "Great Game" with Russia, according to the author.
