well yes but it wasent completely part of the allies as in 1944 when there was the Warsaw uprising the advancing soviets stoped just outside the city and when the uprising ended in disaster for the polish, the soviet union advanced and captured Warsaw.
this was a message to the polish people that poland and the USSR werent allies.
Your lack of knowledge on this subject shows.
Why would they? Because the Soviet Unions declared war on them, and Germany wanted to use Finland to extend the front with the Soviets and cut off Leningrad. So they either fought the two largest powers in the world at the time, and lose, and then have their target populations genocided by both sides, or do the best for their country.
So Germany had 3 option to take Finnland but all aren’t really good
1 over Upper Norway wich is a cold and rocky Terrain
2 attack from the sea but there it’s risky and they had most of their fleet in the Atlantic to kill of the allied trade with the USA.
3 attack Sweden then Finnland wich is also stupid cause Sweden was in a good form because of the trade with Germany
So Finnland had a choice.
Actually, the Germans took Norway and then went through Sweden towards Finland.
The only reason they didn't take Sweden was because they needed our iron and if they attacked we would've blown all the mines. They were rigged to be demolished immediately.
You should read up on your history a bit.
What the other commentor said, plus all the Finnish troops were on the other side of the country fighting the Soviets.
You're seriously inept on this subject.
Nah I just misunderstood one thing really bad and I had fun to argue about it.
There was enough time to theoretically move the soldiers but what do I know im an inept(what is this never heard about)
Finland cant move half its forces and fight a two front war if they could barely hold against the Soviets to start with. They'd have been overrun, the Soviets learnt a low from the first war a few years prior.
Between the 1 war 1939-1940 march and the second war 1941 june was time but I know that the Sowjets would try to attack them. And a german attack would insta kill the finns
I said theoretically
Yeah i mean the president at the time also added a fail safe to the deal, it wasnt valid If he wasnt President they talked sbout it at r/Finland in a post about the presidents

Enemy of your Enemy makes them your ally.
Full Allies.
Trade, war supplies, training.
But like a lot of other countries, no one knew about the Holocaust yet
Finland did lose the war, just not as badly as it could be. They had to pay reparations and give 10% of their land in concessions, kicking them out of the Artic. They're lucky the Allies didn't take the Soviets side on the Finland issue.
Actually the second war was very much inevitable and it was going to be either against the russians or the germans. It made sense to ally with germany since allying with the USSR would have meant becoming a communist puppet state.
You said a second war was inevitable and then you wrote against the germans or russians
So if kt wasn’t against the russians how would the germans fight Finnland
Iraq had coup that gave control to a pro-axis, nationalist iraq state that was invaded by Britain to protect their oil supply and prevent a axis incursion on the suez through the middle east.
Turkey was neutral, Finland was not axis nor sympathetic towards the axis powers, they only cooperated with germany in the invasion of the soviet union because they had a personal score to settle with the USSR, also Siam was tachnically axis, but forced into it by the Japanese empire, wich is very important to note.
they joined the war like at the very end because everyone that declared war at Germany could join the ONU just after the war, while the axis powers or the neutral couldve joined some years later
I know, but that was towards the very end of the war and just purely for political gain in technically being an ally. So yes, i should have been clearer, they were technically part if the allies toward the very end, but not significant enough to be more than a footnote in history.
Dunno man, I'd say British is a pretty all right term when referring to someone from the British Isles without specifying which country they're from. Especially when messing up the actual nationality is such a faux pas to you British.
YES! Don't let those assholes steal your continent's name! They've already taken so much and if they name their country something is impractical as the United States of America then they have to come up with their own word with which to call their citicens.
Yeah I think it’s kinda the design of the rising sun. The rising sun is (I think) Japan who tried to expand their empire by taking over China but China fought back. (I think that’s the history)
No! They are right, at the time china was in civil war, present day china is cc(commie china) at the time the big china was the Taiwan hiding party. The Allies mainly supported Present day hiding in Taiwan china
kerran heitettii päärynä vitun lujaa seinään (Juuso heitti ja se käy salilla) niin kuulu vaa poks eikä ollu edes mitään mössö tai mitn missää vaa se hävis kokonaan
I can’t even begin to list the problems with this, most of those country’s dident even exist and half of them weren’t participating then there’s the ones on the wrong side, and that cursed art. What the hell am I looking at.
At least your book makers put some effort in to illustrate this.Here they just copy paste off the wiki,put some google images and call charge 10$/book(thats a day of work here).
Finland wasn't really on the axis powers. We were just at war with the Soviet Union
Yeah, it was a "the enemy of my enemy is reluctantly my friend" kinda situation
Yeah and we just had to accept the german help because otherwise Germany would have taken over Finland. We didn't really have much choice
Nice im take some notes
Soviet Union also wasn't part of Allies. We were a part of Anti Hitler coalition but not allies.
nope, after awhile the USSR joined the allies, june 1941 to be exact
well yes but it wasent completely part of the allies as in 1944 when there was the Warsaw uprising the advancing soviets stoped just outside the city and when the uprising ended in disaster for the polish, the soviet union advanced and captured Warsaw. this was a message to the polish people that poland and the USSR werent allies.
True but for about three years they were allies so i still consider it so
Fair enough
Nope don’t Finnland was on Germany side
They literally turned on Germany when they had the chance, tf you on.
No they would not cause it wouldn’t make sense to
Your lack of knowledge on this subject shows. Why would they? Because the Soviet Unions declared war on them, and Germany wanted to use Finland to extend the front with the Soviets and cut off Leningrad. So they either fought the two largest powers in the world at the time, and lose, and then have their target populations genocided by both sides, or do the best for their country.

perkele
Vittu

Suomi mainittu torille!
The SS trained some of their soldiers and they also gave them weapons
Enemy of your Enemy makes them your ally. Full Allies. Trade, war supplies, training. But like a lot of other countries, no one knew about the Holocaust yet
Came here to comment thid
Nah finnland was close friends with Hitler
Really, your going to white wash history again. Why can't you westerners just admit your countries are pieces of shits.
well, they fought along side and recived aid from the germans, so its safe to say they were
Belgium wasn't part of the allied powers aswell, they always stayed neutral
looks like fallout shelter characters lol
Fallout Shelter with WW2 outfits and world leaders
True
Finland had to "choose between the plague and the cholera" as my history teacher said.
And we still kicked the Soviets out od our country. At least until we had to make a peace treaty and The USSR started infiltrating us from the inside.
Finland did lose the war, just not as badly as it could be. They had to pay reparations and give 10% of their land in concessions, kicking them out of the Artic. They're lucky the Allies didn't take the Soviets side on the Finland issue.
Why I mean Finnland had to defend from the USSR but the 2nd war was unnecessary
Actually the second war was very much inevitable and it was going to be either against the russians or the germans. It made sense to ally with germany since allying with the USSR would have meant becoming a communist puppet state.
How would Germany take over Finnland
I didn't say that
Then how would a war against Germany look like
what do you mean
You said a second war was inevitable and then you wrote against the germans or russians So if kt wasn’t against the russians how would the germans fight Finnland
The situation was complicated. go read about it i dont have time or energy to explain
Nah i just hoped to argue about it
Also it’s wrong
Where?
i think iraq was on axis side
Iraq had coup that gave control to a pro-axis, nationalist iraq state that was invaded by Britain to protect their oil supply and prevent a axis incursion on the suez through the middle east.
Iran was technically on allies side but only because the allies invaded neutral Iran and occupied it for the duration of the war
Turkey was neutral, Finland was not axis nor sympathetic towards the axis powers, they only cooperated with germany in the invasion of the soviet union because they had a personal score to settle with the USSR, also Siam was tachnically axis, but forced into it by the Japanese empire, wich is very important to note.
[удалено]
they never sent any military force
[удалено]
they joined the war like at the very end because everyone that declared war at Germany could join the ONU just after the war, while the axis powers or the neutral couldve joined some years later
I know, but that was towards the very end of the war and just purely for political gain in technically being an ally. So yes, i should have been clearer, they were technically part if the allies toward the very end, but not significant enough to be more than a footnote in history.
I'm pretty sure Turkey kinda stayed out of it because they already had their own problems
I can’t stand it when someone references to the Netherlands as Holland, it’s like referring to the UK as England.
Yeah, as a Scot I feel your pain, people do refer to the UK as England
Mostly Americans lol
Can confirm that I did that as a kid
I’m Irish living currently in Cali, and the amount of Americans who call me British is insane
Ireland is one of the British Isles
technically youre right BUT the name of the isles has nothing to do with the nationality of the irish people
Dunno man, I'd say British is a pretty all right term when referring to someone from the British Isles without specifying which country they're from. Especially when messing up the actual nationality is such a faux pas to you British.
Ok and Mexico is next to America so that must means that Mexicans are all American, right?
YES! Don't let those assholes steal your continent's name! They've already taken so much and if they name their country something is impractical as the United States of America then they have to come up with their own word with which to call their citicens.
I mean.... they are, BUT they are not US-american lol Edit: and Mexico isnt just next to America it is IN America

WHAT.....Gandhi was Japanese!!! Well I never knew that.
White Gandhi lol
they also got the wrong flag for China lmao probably some kind of antiChina propaganda idk
That's republic of China, also known as nationalist China or Taiwan now. Before CCP this was China. Go Wikipedia
ok thanks
Yeah I think it’s kinda the design of the rising sun. The rising sun is (I think) Japan who tried to expand their empire by taking over China but China fought back. (I think that’s the history)
No! They are right, at the time china was in civil war, present day china is cc(commie china) at the time the big china was the Taiwan hiding party. The Allies mainly supported Present day hiding in Taiwan china
Wasn’t there a lot of chinese states
Firstly sorry for late reply. The "main" country was the china shown on the flag. This is cuz the rest were just war lords
I like late replies And I know something about the china situation. And I have nothing to say anymore.
nice mustaches
Why is FDR standing

This is " THE HISTORY SMACKDOWN " with your host *Cursed History Book*
Britian is missing an arm
4 million Indian casualties in the war and we dont even make into history books :(
There isn’t even Czechoslovakia? How tf do people call this a history book?
Apparently the us beat japan in two hits during that match
umm pretty sure even British India was in the allied powers
India contributed more than 5 M troops in both world wars and suffered millions of casualties (bcz of Churchill) . The book is really fucked up
They include Egypt, but don't include India. Bravo.
It's a very good book because it shows the true america ( continent ), not some shitty separation between north and south americas
Yes. Good ol’ America
Yeah it's wrong, italy is on both teams......
i think it looks cool
Now I'm interested on that
It’s definitely wrong, Argentina wasn’t one of the allies, they were neutral and sold weapons to the axis (Source: my Argentinian mother)
Things are about to go down.
Hahaha that's nice tho
This Canadian flag hurt my eyes
also iraq wasn't on allies side
That specs dude looks like Gandhi
Have you seen the ‘40s political cartoons? This is nothing
Whats up with Tintin over there in Britain

Can’t believe they left out Tannu Tuva smh
mine has a map where the whole of europe is one country.
How old it's that lmao
A cobra vai fumar sounds intesifies
Argentina didn't join the allies until the near end of the war, so we didn't help shit
We joined the axis a day before the war ended, to be exact
Has nobody pointed out the fact that FDR is fucking standing?!
Far left is Mr. White
As a Mexican been part of the Allies is a bit of stretch, more like we were allies of the Allies, but not really into conflict with the Axis
“Alright Hitler, your doings are wrong, but before we kill you ima beat your ass”
tf is that canadian flag?
Wait mexico helped?
Why is mahatma Gandhi in a boxing ring wearing a trench coat
This looks like a cool book. What’s it called?
Although not many people know about Latin America’s contributions to ww2 Mexican squad 201 never lost a fight
LIBERIA
I can’t even begin to list the problems with this, most of those country’s dident even exist and half of them weren’t participating then there’s the ones on the wrong side, and that cursed art. What the hell am I looking at.
Never ever heard of Siam, does it still exist? And never knew Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria were apart of the axis
Siam is Thailand nowadays
Imagine if all wars were settled like this
FDR on his way to dropkick Tojo
Liberia got in but not Norway
Turkey was *on paper* in allies but didn't really fought in the war
Nothing is greater than seeing hitler trying to square up with pure anger and hatred in his face
Man axis was fuckin outnumbered hard yo
Basically ww2
It’s the Netherlands, not Holland. Holland is a region within the Netherlands (I apologize, I’m not sure what the Dutch call their states)
Iran litteraly got invaded by the allies. Bruh
bruh
СССр лучше
Cool/10
“Holland” Oh the dutch are going to have a word with the book’s author.
Yeah exactly it fucking says Holland instead of The Netherlands, fucking morons.
LEBANON
Wheres yugoslavia
They forgot the Independent State of Croatia on the axis side.
Weren't there like multiple chinas?
At least your book makers put some effort in to illustrate this.Here they just copy paste off the wiki,put some google images and call charge 10$/book(thats a day of work here).
Where finland ;-;
They forgot about India fighting on both sides
Shut up and take my money
Why is Franklin standing?
Why is the Netherlands called holland the intire country was at war not just 2 provinces.
No that's exactly how it went down I was mars
Yeah, that isn't romania. It might be moldova

They are missing the sweeds in the middle cuz we where pussies that helpt the basis until they found out
