@JDCREW yes that was a seperate war.

2021-01-29 00:29:09 UTC  

Let's hope we never declare the problem with wild hogs down in the South any kind of "War". We'll end up like australia.

2021-01-29 00:29:15 UTC  

Yep

2021-01-29 00:29:16 UTC  

ww2? that started in poland

2021-01-29 00:29:21 UTC  

No

2021-01-29 00:29:35 UTC  

That started in Czechoslovakia

2021-01-29 00:29:42 UTC  

earliest fighting tied to ww2? that was between China and Japan, and Finland and Russia

2021-01-29 00:30:40 UTC  

*When you realize Canada has sent more of their population to war than the US.*

2021-01-29 00:30:58 UTC  

(Percentage not numeral)

2021-01-29 00:31:06 UTC  

no hitler said he wouldn't invade Czechoslovakia because otherwise Britain and France would be angwy. then he did to see if they were cowards, then they said "don't invade Poland or we'll be angwy" and he essentially was like LOL gonna troll them again. then they declared war

2021-01-29 00:31:28 UTC  

that was annexation bcs of Britain and France selling out their smaller allies to slow down germany to give themselves time

2021-01-29 00:31:29 UTC  

There is a prominent historian who considers the idea of the World Wars as kind of a myth. He considers most of them to be seperate wars. Simply because the Axis said they were allied with each other doesn't really mean anything. There was never any meaningful cooperation between any of the Axis powers.

2021-01-29 00:31:51 UTC  

Yes there was

2021-01-29 00:31:58 UTC  

Mainly in fighting Russia

2021-01-29 00:32:04 UTC  

And Greece

2021-01-29 00:32:05 UTC  

Germany actually sent a couple of Tigers to Japan

2021-01-29 00:32:09 UTC  

China

2021-01-29 00:32:12 UTC  

they got sunk though

2021-01-29 00:32:18 UTC  

The middle east

2021-01-29 00:32:23 UTC  

It was a world war.

2021-01-29 00:32:28 UTC  

well Italy was with Germany, but Italy never was ablee to do much due to poor location I believe

2021-01-29 00:32:37 UTC  

that and poor leadership

2021-01-29 00:32:38 UTC  

Nope

2021-01-29 00:32:42 UTC  

Poor tactics

2021-01-29 00:32:54 UTC  

Japan was fighting on russia's rear end

2021-01-29 00:33:03 UTC  

so yeah they were all together

2021-01-29 00:33:03 UTC  

Italy could have taken Greece, but their commanders were more concerned with making the others look stupid rather then trying to take Greece

2021-01-29 00:33:21 UTC  

Mussolini was just a horrendous leader

2021-01-29 00:33:35 UTC  

So were his generals.

2021-01-29 00:33:41 UTC  

yeah lol

2021-01-29 00:34:01 UTC  

Bourbon, of course there was cooperation in fighting Russia.

2021-01-29 00:34:09 UTC  

I believe the phrase was, "winning a game of chess, against a man who only knew how to play checkers

2021-01-29 00:34:18 UTC  

at least until Kesselring got involved

2021-01-29 00:34:32 UTC  

Everyone was fighting Russia. You didn't have to be Axis to be fighting Russia.

2021-01-29 00:34:39 UTC  

Finland proved that.

2021-01-29 00:34:47 UTC  

Fun Fact: Kesselring was the guy whos name would be used in the infamous Kessel Run from Star Wars

2021-01-29 00:34:50 UTC  

And fighting greece, China, and Canada.
