My best friend growing up was native,,,I never knew until we hit our teens that he was different.In fact I got more razzing for being a ginger Irish kid,my parents still had the brogue. Glad that the history is seeing the light....beatings, deaths, unmarked graves...sickening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were lots of reasons but the way I see it is Germany was becoming the world power and the French and English wouldn't have that. And Germany would have won that war if the US wasn't dragged into it. They split up Germany after that so they couldn't rebuild. Ww2 started when Germany invaded northern Poland which was part of Germany just 20 years prior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We naturally try to fit ourselves into tribes of humans we see as similar be it race , religion , geography , political affiliation or almost anything we can use as commonality. As soon as we’ve chosen our tribe we immediately are more predisposed to marginalize other tribes which leads us to all sorts of inhumane actions that can be defended on some level.

Once started, there were alliances made that changed things on the battlefield and changed the actual endgame. Seems to be how war progresses. Starts out as one thing and morphs into something else.

Imagine being subjected to mustard gas. You choke and die, possibly years later depending on the amount you ingested. Think smoking is bad?
