Mar 19	comment	World War II - Have Historians Envisioned How The Axis Powers Might Have Won? Also: in 1945, the US has nuclear weapons, making the defeat of both Japan and Germany virtually certain.
Mar 19	comment	World War II - Have Historians Envisioned How The Axis Powers Might Have Won? "E.g. Britain is stupid enough to leave its army fighting in Europe where it is captured by Germans leaving Britain defenseless" As long as Royal Navy was afloat, Britain was not defenceless. "all that while Germans bombers neutralize British airports" Half of Britain was outside Luftwaffe's range in 1940.
Mar 19	comment	World War II - Have Historians Envisioned How The Axis Powers Might Have Won? Americans were fighting thousands of kilometres from their factories, but they were able to solve these issues, because their tanks were truly mass-produced.
Mar 17	comment	Was Russo-Polish of 1919-1920 a war of independence? @HermannIngjaldsson Not "shortly later" but in 1941 (almost two years later) after the SU was attacked by Germany. They were neutral to 1939 because it wasn't such a threat to them as Germany and they did not need an additional enemy.
Mar 17	comment	Was Russo-Polish of 1919-1920 a war of independence? @HermannIngjaldsson Neither UK nor France were allied with Soviet Union in 1939.
Mar 17	comment	Was Russo-Polish of 1919-1920 a war of independence? @HermannIngjaldsson Poland did not surrender in 1939.
Mar 17	comment	World War II - Have Historians Envisioned How The Axis Powers Might Have Won? I disagree based on historical precedent: Napoleon did capture Moscow. Didn't help him a lot.
Mar 17	comment	When did the practice of formally “declaring war” cease and why? Democracies try to go to war without declaring a war, because it'd be politically very difficult.
Mar 17	comment	Why does German money from the 1940s not bear Nazi symbols? @WladimirPalant I guess it was part of the Nazi "we're worker-friendly" propaganda spiel.

Mar 17	answered	When and how did the USA and the UK become allies?
Mar 17	comment	Was Russo-Polish of 1919-1920 a war of independence? @HermannIngjaldsson Poland was not at war with the SU (the Polish govt ordered its army not to fight invading Soviet troops), I guess precisely for the reason so that their Western allies wouldn't have to fight both Germany and Soviet Union at the same time. If Poland had been at war with the SU in 1939, the UK would have gone to war with the SU as well -- treaty obligations. Also, neither UK nor France were allied with the Soviet Union in 1939.
Mar 15	comment	Was Russo-Polish of 1919-1920 a war of independence? "Poland captured Kiev". This is incorrect. Joint Polish-Ukrainian forces captured Kiev from the Russian hands.
Mar 15	answered	Was Russo-Polish of 1919-1920 a war of independence?
Mar 15	comment	Was Russo-Polish of 1919-1920 a war of independence? How do you define "war of independence"?
Mar 15	comment	How do new countries legally and without bloodshed declare themselves independent? @Sardathrion "The Russo-Polish of 1919-1020 was neither a war of independence". Of course it was.
Dec 3	comment	Is there any evidence that the catholic church reduced innovation during the middle ages? How does one measure such things??
Nov 27	comment	Why did Hitler attack the Soviet Union when he was still busy fighting the United Kingdom? And the English were calling the shot in the UK, anyway.
Nov 25	revised	What kind of heavy horses did the Manchu use? grammar fix
Nov 25	comment	Credible historic description of how the daily life was for the middle-class during the financial crisis of 1929 Little of what you will learn will be applicable to 2011.
