A 1914 lie about war comes to light in 2017

The Financial Times issued a correction, 103 years too late, to a story about World War I "War Loans". They got tricked by Government manipulation. Then the tumultuous events of the Great War buried dull stories of financial deception.

Always good to get reminders about not trusting the UK government.

Upvoated. There were much bigger lies, both about WW1 (previously The "Great War" which was named by Churchill after he named WW2), much much bigger.

Great read: “Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War”. by Gerry Docherty and Jim MacGregor
