Hitler declared war on us

That was the second time around. The lesser known and perhaps more interesting story comes from the Brits feelings about the Germans at the dawn of the 20th century.

I believe if the Brits had it to do over again, they would have liked to demolish Germany completely. But the people were done with the trench warfare bullshite. It had to stop.

But, as most people know, Germany rebounded just a couple decades later. And Hitler used his people's anger towards the English for what they had done in WW1 just as much if not more than he did with the Jews. In some of his early speeches he is just going off about Churchill.
