if i was going to be pedantic, i'd correct you by saying that technically speaking the second world war (WW2) "started" in 1919.Toxicseagull said:tbird, perhaps from our side of the world but if you were to ask the people it actually effected majority it started 1937 as the germans and japanese where allies it would be natural to help them. especially if it challenged russia.
as i said im only stating what could be argued and to explain the "fact", as im a western civ i say 1939 like ive been taught
Well in that case you could argue that it kicked off in 1914 when the Kaiser decided to have a pop at all and sundry!The_Dark_Side said:if i was going to be pedantic, i'd correct you by saying that technically speaking the second world war (WW2) "started" in 1919.
I believe a number of Historians think of the Two wars as 1914-18/19 = Part 1 and 1937/9 - 45 = Part 2Diesel said:Well in that case you could argue that it kicked off in 1914 when the Kaiser decided to have a pop at all and sundry!

not really IMHO as if it wasn't for the treaty of Versaille 1919, then the main cause of unrest in post-1918 Germany wouldn't have existed.Diesel said:Well in that case you could argue that it kicked off in 1914 when the Kaiser decided to have a pop at all and sundry!
