Evan,

I think you missed my point. Hitler started the war by invading polen. Brittain, Canada and later the US just got involved by declaring war to the germans, but the war already started.

Walter,

>>Ehh, Hitler started the war, and that war did not solve anything, at least not at first glance.

>Even at first glance the war solved a few things:
>- halted the killing of Jews by Nazis in concentration camps
>- halted the expansion of Germany into a greater Germany, at least so far
>- removed a dictator from power
>- freed France, Holland, and other countries from foreign occupation
