Pathetic double standards caused world war 2

Mrhuth

Britain and France carved up the world but when Germany and Italy decided to join in on the game, declare war! Fascists are the enemy! But it's ok for us to pillage and steal resources from half of the world we conquered but don't you dare do the same! It's only allowed for us. Absolutely pathetic response. It was okay for Britain to colonize everything in sight but not for Germans. See the double standard here. Could make an arguments that Hitler slaughtered Jews but UK and france declared war before they even knew that there were mass exterminations.

They were warned not to invade Poland and that’s why England & France declared war.

Also, what do you mean by us??

Nice. So the After Hours hot-takes have finally got to the 'Nazis were the good guys actually' part.

Give it a few weeks and we'll be reading about how the Brits were only defending themselves during Bloody Sunday.

What about UK invading Africa, Asian countries like Singapore and Hong Kong? That's fine then? Because no one warned them. Germany just wanted to get in on the game.

Did you know Hitler was a vegetarian? Really makes you think, when you think about it.

Britain had the largest empire the world has ever seen and no one stopped then to pillage and take resources. Look at Britain now, massive 65 million population and an economic powerhouse. Compare Britain and Ireland and you'll see what I mean. A town in UK is bigger than a city in Ireland.

Yes I know, you can tell a lot about a person's character by the way he treats animals.

Eh, the Deutsches Reich had already been in those areas for 50ish years.



Yunno, history, facts - though you probably would need to read a book for that.

meeeeh

This thread is prime example why history should be taught in schools. As stated by one of posters earlier WW1 was started mostly because desire to get colonies. One of main reasons for WW2 were probably reparations Germany had to pay. Similar mistake was avoided after WW2.

I think you'll find that both Germany and Italy had African colonies in the 1800's

Italy and Germany were both split into bunch of small states till the second half of 19th century so they did miss most of colony grabbing. WW1 started as a land grab and Italy was actually awarded some lands to switch sides.

That wouldn't really be my view on things. Colonies largely already existed at this point. WW1 started mainly because of a series of interlocking treaties and alliances were activated like dominos after the issues in the Balkans.

Bosnia was a spark for something that was cooking for decades. Nobody would go to a destructive 4 year war just to control an underdeveloped area smaller than Ireland.
