Lol, of course i didn't copy/paste it. I've just read extensively on the topic and took ages to write that passage.
"i think germany would have raped russia in the end..."
Outnumbered 1/20 i don't think so. Also, England was not on the brink of defeat. Nothern Africa was a key stategical position. The French had had colonies there for centuries, as a result of which countries such as Algeria speak French besides Arabic. There were also a large number of colonials that volonteered to fight on the French side in the war (pied-noirs), eliminating such a source of manpower would be crucial to the Germans. Also, had the allies had control of Northern Africa earlier, it would have been child's play to launch an invasion of France. It wasn't for growing crop.
Yes, You're right, the Russians were defeated by the Mongols, but that was before it existed as a country, only as states and tribes.
"hitlers ego was his down fall.. good general, just couldnt let something go... he would send troops to try and reclaim anythiny thing he lost"
No, what he would do was to draw a line somewhere and tell his troops to protect it with the price of their lives. One of these "lines" happened to be a medieval Estonian city of Narva. Probably one of the best preserved medieval cities was reduced to rubble as a result of that and it's population was killed off. Nowadays it has a 96% Russian population and not a single of the medieval structures survived.
"france never hated england after things got settled... they were uge enemies of germany even before america was created"
Don't be silly! Even the British Royal Family is German! What are Your statements based on? Come'on tell us why did they hate each other? You are right, Your statements are short on facts, why don't You post some of those refutes then?
And lol I'm not an Oxford student, but I'm applieing there... rolleyes:
