Nagel Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm not sure what your point is? Could you clarify? When did England go to war by itself? There was a period in WW2 when the UK (not England) was the only country at war with Germany. This was before the USA came in after Pearl Harbor and the USSR came in after Germany broke their non-aggression pact and invaded them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that Australia, South Africa, Canada, New Zealand were at war with the Germans as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Bynnol Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 There was a period in WW2 when the UK (not England) was the only country at war with Germany. This was before the USA came in after Pearl Harbor and the USSR came in after Germany broke their non-aggression pact and invaded them. And our Commonwealth partners who had various degrees of independence and self rule which enabled them to make their decisions. Australia on Germany September 3, 1939 New Zealand on Germany September 3, 1939 Union of South Africa on Germany September 6, 1939 Canada on Germany September 10, 1939 (India on Germany September 3, 1939 - who decided?) Germany on Yugoslavia April 6, 1941 Germany on USSR June 22, 1941 The United States on Germany December 11, 1941 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harleyman Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This is serious, I just hope it doesn’t get deleted like the travel to Europe thread without understanding the reasons … Anyway, FACTS: I am British but not English. I was born and raised several thousand miles away. Oh yes, British and proud, but please wait Why do the Brits always paint themselves nice and beautiful when in fact …, I was having this conversation with a neighbour ..a nice old man .. 85 years old .. he took part in WWII Me: so tell me then, Napoleon was defeated by the Duke of Wellington, was he? Him: he certainly was! And where was that? - Belgium. - and what was the Duke of Wellington doing in Belgium? - well … Belgium was a close friend of ours .. It needed help and we didn’t hesitate - I see, so you helped Belgium because it was your friend? - Actually we always have great many friends … except the idiots like Napoleon who thought they could take Europe without any resistance - I see, so you always had friends? - Exactly! … - listen mate, …. You fought the USA You had a big war with Spain Or the French? How about Germany? Or Ireland? … Please … please … _____________________________________________________ I am planning to drive to Spain Sept 2015, if you like to join hit pm You say you're British and proud and then later seem to take an anti-British stance, did not understand much about WW2 until you read books by German Generals I don't know what you're getting at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
