Actually a few of those nations on that list they have also been at war with as they were part of the Russian Empire so as soon as that nation was attacked they were all attacked.

Up to a third of the British army were usually Irish so I think that comment says more about the state of this country under British rule.

50,000 peole every year are leaving Ireland, so what does that say about the state of this country since Independence?

Yep it was just Britain, if you look into the history really carefully you'll see that the USSR and America etc. weren't even involved with the allies... it was just made up:pac:

Yeah but during battle of Britain period USSR had no impact on western front and US were still not at war so Britain literally was only defence.

The BOB wasn't fought to protect the Irish, it was fought to save their own skins...the fact we avoided possibly being invaded due to a British victory was secondary to that

At least Paddy Finucane wasn't being narrow-minded when he took part.

Battle of Britain 1940, France was already invaded, Hitler hadn't yet invaded Russia, and America hadn't joined the War, so, yes, Britain was the only country that stood between Ireland and the Nazis (not that the Nazis would have bothered with us, they had enough on their plate)

An opinion which differs from your own= narrow minded..gotcha:)

I've nothing against the British but they didn't save us from the Axis powers, they didn't even save themselves, they won the BOB due to the ineptitude of the Germans in pressing home their advantage.

Yeah... imagine invading industrial countries where they had rifles. Sure anyone with a bit of sense and go off and find a place where they've bows and arrows or maybe a few muskets.

I think you will find that Poland and the Polish Airforce, plus the Free French also contributed enormously during 1940 and 1941.

Not arguing, but the Polish were pretty much pre-occupied with their own difficulties in 1940
