Oh yes. The UK was very much involved. Germany invaded Poland. And after the invasion they made a peace proposal to the UK. Germany said, that they would withdraw from Poland if the Poles would come to an agreement about Danzig. If the UK had given that proposal to Poland than the second world war would never have happened and Russia would not invade Poland. But that is history. And you do not know about history. You only know about the propaganda from the Allied forces.
True. The US benefitted big time from WW2. Say that you to Adolf Poppycock and Japan. And after WW2 there was no more British empire. Thanks to Winston Churchill. Is he not celebrated as a hero? Winston Churchill knew that would be so, He was talking about a very positive book about him. He would write the book.
Pearl Harbor. FDR forced Japan to an attack on Pearl Harbor. He decided that Japan would not get any more oil. Oh. He knew about Pearl Harbor. BVut he blamed it on the US commander in Pearl Harbor. Yeah. That is bad. Tha is history again. And you have never heard of history.
Maybe other options were open but Poland was openly defiant they wouldn't surrender "Their" land. They were technically a Modern Military Power because they had some tanks and planes but were rather shitty compared to the Germans. I find it highly unlikely that the Poles would have just let someone even Germany take their land.
The invasion of France was always on the Cards it was something Poppycock wanted to happen to revoke the humiliation of the previous treaty that fucked over the German Empire.
Churchill is a hero because he kept Britain's resolve to fight as without him we'd have probably sued for Peace and might have become a thrall to Poppycock.
Have started to learn a bit more about Oswald Mosely, the guy who tried to create the British League of Fascists, not as bad as he was made out to be.
Churchill I think was between a rock and a hard place where he could bankrupt the Empire but fight Germany or not bankrupt the Empire but struggle and possibly fall to Germany.
He did authorise the use of Chemical Weapons should the Germans gain a foothold in the British Isles.
FDR gave the Japanese repercussions for attacking their allies. The Japs took the French Vietnamese area or something and that is when sanctions came in, you can argue it's double standards I guess that the Americans are fine with Britain and France taking land but get pissy when the Japs do it but the Japanese weren't innocent in it all and they only hit Pearl Harbour because someone decided to put nearly their entire fleet for the Pacific in dock there which if they launched another wave or two of Zeros would have crippled the American response.
As for knowing Pearl Harbour was going to happen I fail to see.
Yeah. The US bankrupted Britain. After the war they wanted Britain to pay them money for all the help they received during WW2. The US send loansharks to Britain to talk about paying back, And Britain was so stupid to pay them back. How could they help the US with fighting the war in Iraq and Afghanistan? A lot of British soldiers were killed there.
Sure. The British empire was finished after WW2. Britain had no money to send their troops to their colonies. And in the past, they had been very evil with stopping any unrest. Think of the concentration camps in South Africa. Think of the people that were killed in India by the Britsh army.
Britain owed America money for the arms they sent us, officially it was because America wasn't able to openly support Britain otherwise risk a war with the Axis powers but they did give Britain a "reduced" price for their goods. Britain was kinda fucked after WWII and allowed in more colonials to repair the damage done but it didn't help with America needing money for their projects and all that.
Britain even without being an Empire is still highly influential in the world...
We've contributed to almost every major invention in the world since about WWII.
That was in the Boer War, not nice but it was a different situation to peace time events.
India always had a lot of unrest and sometimes to ensure order shit needed to happen.
Not something to be proud of but it was shit that just happened....
Compared to other nations and Empires, Britain was relatively chill.
When America succeeded they looked at why it happened and reformed other colonial areas because of this.
Damn little Frenchman... If he wasn't around America would have been held easily xD
