It's not 3/7/07. Also, WWII was an actual war. This "conflict" in Iraq is a joke that is wasting America's money and citizens.

But seriously, some people need to go back to history class or read a damn textbook or something.

Depends who you talk to.

In Asia they would say World War II began in 1931 when the Japanese invaded mainland China. In Europe, they consider it 1939 with the Nazi Blitzkreig invasion of Poland. For Americans, it is generally considered December 7th, 1941 with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor naval base, but that is for American involvement only, not taking into account the 1939 beginning for England and France.

True, but WW2 can't be 1931, sincie it was only going on in Asia, and unless you count the Treaty of Munich or the Aunchluss (sp?) of Austria, it was 6 years like you and me said.

Asia was where the first major hostilities of what was soon to become a World War took place, so it is considered the beginning of the war in Asia, as I stated. To us though, it isn't, because like you said it didn't involve the entire world yet.

The Manchuria problem was a minor incident in comparison, it wasn't the start of the war for anyone. It was only a indicator of what could happen if the league of nations didn't start pulling it's weight.

Which is my point. The 'war' in Iraq has been going on since 2003. It would have had to started before 9/11 even happened to have been going on longer than WWII.

Im kinda glad wwII happened....just sad that all these people died but hey! Good movies out of it, good games....yey

No you don't because the second world war led to the development of nuclear weapons. So it wasn't a good thing.

Which leads me to my next point...

1939

2006

2003

3

Yay basic math.

Yay basic math. Technically WW2 started in '37 when Japan invaded China.

Captain REX
Technically, that wasn't WW2, that was Japan vs. China. ermm

A World War requires lots and lots of countries blowing the shit out of each other. icon5

The Pict
It didn't 'technically' start at any year except 1939. The events before hand were the build up to a world war.

Didn't Vietnam last from '59 to '73 or something?

Vietnam is something that always confuses me. I don't know a whole lot about it.

Vietnam was becoming communist in the 50s so America went "Ah commies, bad commies, commies go bye bye." and fought north vietnamese n chinese for a decade or two. They knew they were going to lose when they went in, but still went on for so long. In fact, the war was fought even worse than WW1.

Bespin Bart
'59 to '64 was the French part of things, since Vietnam was occupied...?

Then '65 to '73 was the American part of things...

Then '73 to '75 was the American pull-out and the North Vietnamese beating the South senseless.
