Few people rarely win any wars. The cost tends to be enormous. But I am not sure why you bring banks into the discussion. They had little to nothing to do with the war. You aren't trying to peddle some anti-Jewish conspiracy stuff in an underhanded way are you?
Blaming Jews for WWI and the German loss is a classic Nazi talking point. The idea of Jewish bankers was prevalent in the 1930s as the chief villain among German nationalists. The rich liberal Jews as a chief villain has re-emerged on the American right as the chief villain just as in times of old. Just look at how they turned rich liberal Jew George Soros into their chief bogeyman.
Christians recognize that in the end times nobody will be allowed to buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast (Rev 13:16-18). We know that it the economic system that subverts the end-time governance. Ethnicity has nothing to do with it. Money is the root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:9-10) so fixation on wealth comes to no good.
Yet Christians are the most greedy, materialistic and selfish people. Or rather the ones who most loudly call themselves Christians. It is almost as if being a generous person as Jesus preaches requires leaving the faith.
Christians have become stingy like the Pharasees of the days Jesus originally walked the Earth. Doing the bare minimum for the Lord while getting the most recognition they can wring from it. Greed is one motive, but high taxation drove both the Pharasees and modern Christians to it also. Ultimately, God provides for those that trust in Him but faith is lacking. Rome had been a republic for hundreds of years before Julius Caesar bent it to his will. Maybe the U.S. will fall in similar fashion when it goes. If it does, it will be the call of tax relief that drives it.
The same banks funded both sides of the war, adding fuel to the fire. Nobody won, there were just bigger losers.
