We would probably side with the U.S.A as we are their best friends and it'll still be an easy decision to make because the British people seem to hate the French and dislike the Italians a bit. We also have refused to join the Euro.

How would the USA declare war on "Europe"? The entire European Union? that would include Britain.
Or would the USA declare war on France and Germany only? Since France and Germany are NATO partners, all NATO members would have to declare war on the USA then. Even the USA would have to defend France and Germany against the USA.. Either way Britain would have to side with the rest of Europe

Just look at what is happening in Iraq now because we stood side by side with Bush. If Bush was ever to declare war on Europe Which will never happen but say he did. I hope, no sorry pray that we all of a sudden become a neutral country and stay well away from America and its war mongering.

Britian is the US's greatest ally and would back the US 100% whether the gov of the day agreed with US foriegn policy or not..
However Europe is a big place and Britian is part of the EU so would probably have to stand with there Euro cousins.,on the other hand half of Europe are members of NATO so the US would have to send in peacekeepers to defend Europe from the US .
So you would have British forces in Europe to help Europe defend itself from the US coming across British forces that are backing the US action.Likewise US troops would be preparing to defend Europe from US aggression against US attacks.
In short it will never happen ,so don't worry about it.

Iraq was the USA's ally while they were having a jolly little shooting war with Iran. Afghanistan and Al-Qaeda were the USA's ally while they were fighting with the Soviet Union. many sources in the USA were funding the IRA for years and years and now they go on about being victims of terrorism. I think the USA would use Britain like it did in WW2 and most of the cold war. An unsinkable aircraft carrier and staging post for attacks on the european mainland. and given the disparity between the US nuclear arsenal and our own, I dont think there would be a damn thing we could do to stop it!

It would depend on which country America actually declared war on first as Europe doesn't stand as 1.
With the amount of American troops in England, Italy and Germany i think an invasion from within would be our first problem.
If they just wanted France, Spain and the Balkens I think we would let them have 'em without getting involved.

this is important question for the future. The united states of europe and the united states of america, are likeley to fall out with each outher. The great european military forces if britain did not get out, would be spearheaded by the british and germans, the germans in command. If the two powers met in battle. the british would be going to war against millions of their own descendants, that live in the u.s. and australia, because oz would join the yanks. it would be terrable act of treason for britain to join the europe, and we would deserve a good hiding for it.
the sooner we get out of that corrupt e.u. the better.

There must be some sort of EU legislation saying that if that ever happened we would have to fight with Europe. We are after all a member of the EU, I think all of us together could take America, Im sure Russia would help us as well, I don't think they are too keen on America and are probably looking for any excuse to screw them over.

I would think it most unlikely that even the USA would declare war on an entire continent! But should that actually occur i think there would be no more world in which to live in

well looking at the history of Europe I think the UK would be best siding with the US. As the French would turn the other way and give up with out fighting. Germany hasn't really got any armed forces and the other major countries wouldn't be able to work with each other. which is why the EU is so laughable!
