Actually the Second World War started when Japanese launched an invasion of China proper, July 7, 1937. The Japanese Kwantung Army turned a small incident into a full-scale war. Chinese forces were unable to effectively resist the Japanese. The Japanese military was not only better armed and organized, they were also incredibly brutal. The rape of Nanking was one of the most terrible atrocities of World War II. The Japanese methodically moved south, seizing control of most of eastern China and all of the major ports by the time war broke out in Europe. (1939).

I'll continue to do that. Put me on iggy, man.

I doubt that you want to read what I have to say about the Chiefs as well.

2 grandfathers served in europe...one came home. i picked it up pretty quick after that.
sec

Will keep him (along with all the others he serves with) in my thoughts and prayers.

Nonsense. That was just a conflict between two countries. The invasion of Poland directly led to the declaration of war on Germany by France and the UK.

I dont really care enough to put anyone on iggy. It's just reeruned to see you write up prayer on a football message board. This isn't Church, man. Keep your own prayers to yourself

CoMo, you moran.

Is this thread even about football? If you don't want to see that kind of stuff then keep out of non football topics.

I declare war on this Polish fool.

:spock:

Only because we refused to have any sympathy for the CHINESE. Our refusel to become involved in the conflict lead directly to Japans aggression that involved the US in WW2. Without which it is very likely that Roosevelt would not have been able to become involved in the European side of the War.

The only reason most people refuse to admit the 2nd WW started in Asia is because we are mostly of European descent and have always thought of the Asians as second class countries.

Move this to the DC forum then.

No, it is because Japan and China fighting each other did not result in multiple countries declaring war upon one another.

The invasion of Poland did.

You are truly a piece of work.

Move your own fugging ass there. Or anywhere if you don't like what you read on here.

Yup.
