World War II

According to the Hague Conventions, a declaration of war, or an ultimatum that would lead to a state of war, were considered the same thing. Great Britain issued an ultimatum to Germany. By the rules of the time, Great Britain, started the war.

I am interested in bringing back the cause of WWII. Who was the ultimate initiator? What started a conflict of interest that led to probably one of the bloodiest wars in history?

Hitler's invasion of Poland is what prompted the French and the Brits to retaliate, right?

we should probably divide the question into 2:

technical

and historical

technically it was the retalliation of attacking poland

historically we can say was victory of Franco in Spain which lead to confidence in european fascists

well after the british tried appeasing hitler for years they saw that it didnt work and no matter how many times hitler promised" just this an no more" they kept taking it until he invaded poland and that was the last draw.

Are you blind to my initial post? The Brits started the war by violating the Hague Conventions, knowing full well, that a declaration of war, or an ultimatum that would lead to a state of war, they issued it nonetheless.

What was simply Hitler reclaiming German lands, was actually provoked by the British, and HOW may I ask did the Brits help Poland? They promised, yet they did not deliver.

The same British who declared war on Germany for attacking Poland, didn't seem to think the same for the Soviet Union, who did the same thing from the east, thus there is a certain double standard in the atmosphere that pervades. Put the blame where it ought to be, with the British.

I don't share in your accidental 'Disney' view of history, of a unambiguous conflict of good and evil. Unfortunately, 'history' is far more complicated than just simple versions of what you think history is, or what it ought to be.

Yes. Poland belongs as a part of Germany. That is why German is often heard on the streets of Poland. Another excellent post. OR IS IT?

You don't know that the Danzig/Corridor were all former East Prussian lands dont you and many 'Germans' spoke 'German' yes, and in Hitlers eyes he was merely reclaiming lands lost from World War I.

You see Patlajoke, before you can be in a discussion, you must at least have some knowledge, thus youre puny one liners have given nothing to these forums, just like your puny avatar, thus symbolizing a puny eggplant.
