It’s immediately obvious from the website’s home page that it’s not just “revisionist”, but an attempt to rewrite history wholesale to justify German warmongering and atrocities. Those of you who learned that German aggression was the trigger for both WWI and WWII…well, you’ve been deceived by vile Allied propaganda. This explanation of what led to the outbreak of WWI gives the essential flavor:
“After Belgium refused to allow Germany’s free and safe passage, Germany responded by invading “neutral” Belgium on August 4th so as to reach Paris by the shortest possible route should her defence require it.”
“The Germans had valid arguments justifying what most modern historians consider an invasion of Belgium: that Belgium’s neutrality was first violated by France; Since Belgium’s neutrality had been guaranteed in an 1839 treaty by France, Britain, Prussia, Russia, and Austria, Belgium behaved unneutrally by cooperating with the British and by not planning a defense against a French invasion.”
No, “most modern historians” do not subscribe to any such cockamamie theory. Belgium “behaved unneutrally” during the prewar period when it focused its defense against a German invasion because Belgium had received unequivocal threats from Germany, and because any sentient Belgian knew there was zero chance of aggression from France.*
That crap about Germany needing to invade Belgium to speed passage to Paris “should her defence require it” is laughable (actually, it reflects some of the delusional nonsense Kaiser Wilhelm II and his sycophants were spewing at the time).
There’s similar counterfactual garbage elsewhere in that section which does not require sober refutation. I have no desire to see what creepy justifications the website creator(s) give for Hitler’s aggressions and the Holocaust.
*an example of German attempts to intimidate Belgium came in 1913, when Belgian King Albert visited Germany and was treated to what one account calls the “dinner party from hell”.
"It seems Albert’s hosts had decided to take the opportunity to persuade the Belgian king to ally with Germany in any future war with France—or at least allow the Germans to pass through Belgium unimpeded on their way to France, as called for by the Schlieffen Plan. Wilhelm and the German chief of staff, Helmuth von Moltke (the Younger), set about the task in typically muddled fashion, prying and bullying by turns as they sought to ascertain Belgium’s likely course of action.,
After Wilhelm’s opening salvoes, Moltke took the lead with all the subtlety of a Prussian drill sergeant, warning his listeners, “Small countries, such as Belgium, would be well advised to rally to the side of the strong if they wished to retain their independence.”
And lest we forget, it was the German Chancellor, von Bethmann-Holweg, who upon the German invasion of Belgium, entertaingly described the treaty guaranteeing Belgian neutrality as “a scrap of paper”.
