Why WW2 Actually Started In 1937 | China's Forgotten War
Most records state that WW2 began in 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. This however is not true. It began in 1937 with the Japanese invasion of China known as The Second Sino-Japanese War. China would be torn apart by the ruthlessness of Imperial Japan and would not receive any help fighting for their country until several years later Sino-Japanese War.

    Then it's too bad as*hole Nixon didn't end it immediately upon taking office. He and Kissinger ended up taking a deal years after a better offer was on the table. There was NO "peace with honor". Getting out of Saigon with our tail between our legs was a DISGRACE! Both president's hands were bloodied by this involvement. Kissinger was an overrated piece of sh*t.

    China was considered a milky cow 🐄 by Western superpowers at that time when Japanese aggressions touched Western interstates on the Pacific Ocean . They confronted Japan by theirs forces . Internal fragmentation and weaknesses of China 🇹🇳 before 1937 encouraged Japan to change its violent behavior from the USSR border towards Chinese sovereignty . Japan was an aggressive power against the USSR from 1925 to 1935 , when Western powers silently đŸ€« encouraged Japan attitudes against the USSR . History is always condemning its within superpowers

    Zheng He's voyages directly promoted the Islamization of Malaysia and Indonesia (using the influence of the Ming Dynasty to spread Islam). This is the greatest impact, the others are insignificant to world history. 19 Robert Morrison, a British missionary in Kyoto, wrote in "A Brief History of Foreign Countries": "In the auction of the islands, Yawa was the most expensive, and it was called Little Java in ancient times... In the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, there was a teacher named Hui Hui (referring to Zheng He). ) led a large army to forcefully subjugate the native people, causing them to abandon their idols and worship the Lord. The history of Islam also said: "The Chinese Muslims left their mark on the Islam of East Java...to this day, their descendants are different in appearance from the locals." Muslims.” Javanese folk still pass down the traditional legend of Zheng He’s missionary work here.

    This documentary is a biased one like all the weatern literature about Stalin. The fact is Soviet Union came into being in 1923 (1917-1923 were the years of civil war between white guards and red guards; so formally the state was established in 1923) and USSR was only 18 yeras old when it was attacked. However, it still beat the German war machinery. Before 1923, Russia was a backward country. It is the greatest achievement of the Soviet Communism. For the sake of comparison, France, which had been a colonial power for centuries, surrendered in just 26 days. Meanwhile Soviet Union was being defended while Luftwaffe was ariel bombing Moscow. The racist Churchill's role is overplayed in the WW2 because of the colonial structures of Britain in the entire world and contemporary neo-colonial structures of America which are the extension of old colonial structures present around the world. The fact is Stalin and Soviet Union beat Fascism. The contemptuous west can't bear the fact that East and Eastern leader (Stalin was Georgian) beat fascism while facing the wrath of bulk of the fascist war mchinery. Meanwhile Britain and America were having difficulties to land at Normandy.

    Evidence suggests the Chinese fleet visited northern Australia after travelling south through Asia. The fleet could navigate using both latitude and longitude and grew fruit trees on board to combat scurvy. There is a scaled down model of a Chinese-style huge junk in a historical theme park south of Bangkok in Thailand.

    Stalin almost lost the Great Patriotic War, which should have been the "Great Revolutionary War", by purging the officer class of the Russian military. As is typical of a Menshevik like Stalin, the working people and peasantry had to make up for his strategic mistakes with their blood. Trotsky's Red Army saved socialist Russia and almost saved the European revolution centered in Germany with only a fraction of the lives that Stalin lost defending Russia and Eastern Europe, and if Stalin hadn't disobeyed orders to re-enforce Tukhachevsky the revolution might have succeeded and Hitler would never have come to power. Stalin's totalitarian pretense of revolutionary socialism was the reason that millions of good communists left the workers' movement. And if that's not enough the scoundrel tried to have Georgy Zhukov murdered.

    More black and white thinking. It is perfectly possible to accept the dominant role of the USSR in the second war .That is not incompatible with recognising the British contribution. Anglo-Canadian forces were the majority in the Normandy landings and supplied the majority of the thousands of ships and planes.The battle of the Atlantic,North Africa and the brilliant intelligence coups were not trivial contributions
