I replied to someone saying that the USSR defeated the Nazis saying that it was a group effort. Got into an argument and called a Nazi repeatedly because “I was mad that the USSR defeated the Nazis and hated them for it” which is ridiculous. This isn’t the first time that’s happened on Lemmy. What’s up with that?
Was not called a world war for nothing. There were tons of countries on the “Allies” side and tons on the “Axis” side. A simple search for WWII Allies member or WWII Axis members will show who fought on each side.
There are to many to list here. Britain, Soviet Union, USA, Canada and China to name a few for the allies.
Nazi Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Finland, Hungary for the Axis side.
Edit forgot Italy.
Don’t forget Italy.
Thanks, fixed.
You forgot to include USSR on the Axis side too.
Consistently applying that logic would put nearly all the Allies on the Axis side
Which countries did the other pacts agree on invading? None? Probably the reason you don’t hear about the other deals. They were obviously meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
A non aggression pact is avoiding war, not joining a side, in the majority of cases.
Unless the pact includes defining who they can invade without stepping each other’s toes like the USSR and Germany.
Hm… like some sort of agreement to… avoid… aggression. I wonder what we could call that.
Yes they were but switched later on. If people want more in depth they can have a gander. There is so much stuff in it all.
