Local Incursions? like Japan in China? Russia in Finland? Germany in Poland?
What made this war another affair was the France and the UK did not declare war on Japan, nor Russia, but Germany alone.

Remind me of the Russia Finland bit? the first war between them ended in 1809 and the winter war of 39 started after WW2 had started didn't it?...I admit I'm not a massive history buff.
So Japan was at war with China.......not sure it was particularily relevant or any threat to europe at the time, but Germany invading poland was, not only that it was a contravention of the treaty of Marseilles, come on admit it, russia and japan's conflicts at that time are irrelevant to what started in Europe.

The Angel part, too. And indeed you will notice that folks from the Netherlands, Denmark, the UK and northern Germany are pretty much the same.

Yeah so imagine how frustrating it is when people who are effectively the same as you keep pointing fingers and saying 'Anglo Saxon mentality'

So? Why are human beings in Africa, India and the middle east up for conquest, human beings in Europe not?
I personally condone all of it, but that hypocrisis displayed, fingerpointing while standing on a huge pile of bodies, is highly annoying.

So what you are really saying is that Britain should have stayed out of the war because of it's past? and because we had an Empire we should have let little Adolf have a slice of his pie too?

Observe and learn, Ace ; )
I need a beer now.

Prost!
