Kaiser's Memoirs Prompt Fury Over Unproved US Pact
The Kaiser claims an unwritten 1897 US, Britain, France pact to aid in a German war, citing Usher's book. Critics say no evidence supports the claim and fault the Kaiser for misreading sources, using a dubious theory to blame others for World War I.
Hidden 1897 pact blamed for looming world war
A critique of Usher and his 1913 reveal of a secret 1897 Anglo American French treaty. The text argues the so called gentlemen's agreement planned long before 1914, linking England France and the United States against Germany. It asserts Pan Germanism existed only later and casts doubt on Wilson era war motives.
