Bioko? Not worth mentioning.

also, not entirely true. Spain had a decent navy in the atlantic, and Pascual Cervera y Topete was a decent admiral.

For UAE? almost certainly. 'Merica has 6 million muslims. gotta love 'em.

Yes, USSR took down Germany... only with other stronger nations (thinking UK, US).

Also, UK and US made peace with Russia and US sent them supplies because... they didnt want Germany to win. USSR received MUCH HELP.

Free France was not at Italy's level. it had better military leadership, but it wasn't that strong.


Spain were NOT strong in 1899. Not at all. They had their time to shine like 200 years ago, by then they were just the old man all the kids made jokes about.

Germany would have been defeated because of their drastic loss in manpower after Russian winters.

USSR could have taken Germany down by themselves, who reached Berlin?

Free French are underrated, they were actually very important in the war.

Tyrion, Werner and Albert were both Germans that defected to our side for variable reasons. The point being the soviets didn't capture everything. Beyond that, Germans never would have completed nukes. Most of the scientists were persecuted or converted to V-2s.

Germany were also not on the path to developing nuclear weapons. Note how they all got exiled or killed?

Your whole post deserves this picture.

UAE has over 80% of it's population as immigrants, Arabia's at 30%, other countries in the area are also pretty high.

Also, UK and US made peace with Russia and US sent them supplies because... they didnt want Germany to win. USSR received MUCH HELP.


Without Tuva and Mongolia's help, we would have lost the war...it's true...point is, America did not help much.

Italy was very weak. Look at their Greek invasion.

Yeah, haha. Italy invades Greece, and gets pushed back into Italian Albania, and asks for help from Hitler to beat Greece, which prolongs Operation Barbarossa.

The only things Italy did successfully in the war was capturing Albania (if that can be counted as World War 2), Corsica and Nice.

This is even wrong, because Corsica was annexed by Italy without any war, as Vichy France was an allied state of the Axis, furthermore the Irredentist movement (Corsican movement promoting the unification of Corsica to Italy) in Corsica was very popular.
However, the rise of the French resistance liberated Corsica in 1943, the Italians already left the island (they had 30000 men in corsica); and when Italy signed the armistice the 3rd of September 1943, the Germans replaced them (15000 men) as it was an important strategical place, those Germans had later to retreat when the Free french resistance came with 6000 men from North Africa + Corsican resistance expelled them, by the end of the year of 1943, Corsica was freed.

^ true.

thats the real reason why Axis and Allies combines Germany and Italy.

all americans are within 12th generation immigrants.

Italy had an okay fleet with pretty elite infantry. After north Africa, they were too wounded to make a comeback. Abyssinian war was relatively costly too. Italy just couldn't take the heat like Germany.
Axis and allies combines them for ease of territories. Italy would only control southern Europe or north Africa. Too weak.

Sahara was too strategic a position. Controlling it would mean reign over Africa.

I tear my dick off every time I remember the Germans invaded North Africa with one panzer division-which would have given them total control of the Mediterranean-, and instead used the rest to attack Russia because Hitler wanted farmland

Invading Poland lost the war for Germany. Poland was actually a German ally, too.

The excuse was that Poland allegedly attacked Germany (though the Danzig corridor was important to get, and an unsaid reason for war).
