That and the fact the neutral party hosting the signing would often be the one called upon to arbitrate any later disputes between the signatories over the interpretation of said treaty, so them having a lot of diplomatic weight is kinda useful there as it's not like court no bailiff is going to enforce it so having a power behind you with enough diplomatic influence they could leverage to make non compliance far too costly was an asset I guess.

Daniel Griffin you are correct about the British. In fact most all of the European countries believed in colonization of other countries to steal their resources. Both Britain and France divide up the Middle East after WW1 to ensure they would control the oil. But the US, especially since the 29th century, hasn’t done that. And don’t go with that BS about oil in the Middle East, the US never took a single barrel of oil. Again, that was Britain and France. Any hot point on the Earth can be blamed on European countries conquering the lands and taking resources. The US has just gotten stuck cleaning up the messes they made.

Kinda of like the 6 flags that ruled under Texas soil. 1. France 2. Spain 3. Mexico 4. Republic of Texas 5. Confederate States of America 6. United States of America

The advert at the end is the icing on the cake. Good show!

Great segue into a commercial at the end. I really am impressed.

That is so cool. I never knew that bit of history, before.

Best part about this video? The troops at 3:54 are Canadians on an exercise with US troops in Texas to cross train both sets of troops on operations with armoured vehicles with infantry in support.
