This thread is a good example... |
Er.....just off the top of my head, North Korea invading South Korea in 1950, Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, the Soviet invasion of Finland in 1940, the German invasion of Norway, Denmark and Holland in the same year, the Italian invasion of Abyssinia in '36. There didn't seem to be any evidence of misunderstanding or confusion, they were straight acts of deliberate armed aggression.
However, I'm now confused. Is this a thread about how people think when they play games or is this a thread about the origin's of the second world war?
