Seriously, I agree with the guy who said it was a continuation of WWI.
I also agree with whoever commented about the allies declaring war because of the invasion of Poland but ignoring Russia's invasion of Poland only a few days later.
Churchill actually sort of mused over that point in one of the volumes of his "History of World War II".
What matters most is the question: Who finished it? We all know the answer to that question.
Who started WWII?
Ask Louie Farrakhan, he'll tell you.....it was the white devils and the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS
I don't care who started it OUR GUYS finished it. God Bless America.
Kilroy! He was always first.
A bunch of people after the First World War. Demanding reparations from countries that were thought to cause the WWI over time created a victimhood mentality against other nations that wanted reparations. They found leaders that said F-U and expanded industrial output and military strength. Russia was a victim of both wars. A bunch of people there around 1916 decided it was time to govern that country with the most sense they could. Wrong choice there and a civil war and Sovietism came about.
After the League of Nations was founded, Germany became a prosperious country and denied any more reperations payments. They said screw you and the League of Nations folded in the 1930's. Wasn't the League of Nations in Toulouse, or Lyon, France? I don't remember or need to- let's send the UN there.
My point is that the seeds of wars are planted many years earlier in time.
Today is Cinco da(de) Maya(u). I'm joining a little celebration with Mexican friends. In the 1860's the Mexican Army defeated the French Army. I give full support for Mexicans who are against the French. The stupid part is that most Mexicans, like most AmAIRicans, think this date is about where people come from, instead of kicking France out of a country. They don't teach history down there either. That's why I like to date women from Brazil. Good colleges, and the languages are equally hard to learn if you speak the other one. And we are Faith-believing countries 15 hours apart.
Serbians. They start most wars in Europe.
After Poland had been overrun, she managed to establish a government-in-exile, armed forces and an intelligence service outside Poland, contributing substantially to the Allied effort throughout the war. Poland never made a general surrender and was the only German-occupied country which did not produce a puppet government that collaborated with the Nazis.
