However, one can make out a case for other dates for the start of WW2.
One can say that the war started at different times, for different countries.
Most historians agree the "world war" started in 1937 or in 1939. The
most commonly accepted date is either September 1st or 3rd, 1939.
The date is debated, as the following events are cited as possible starting points:
* 1 September 1939: The German invasion of Poland.
* 3 September 1939: France and Britain declared war on Germany.
(Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa followed by 10
September).
New Zealand actually declared war on Germany on the 3rd September
and because of the international date line New Zealand declared war
BEFORE Britain and France.
* In Russia and in some other countries of the former Soviet Union: 22 June 1941 (German attack on the USSR).
* 7 July 1937: The Japanese invasion of China (the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War).
* 1931: The Japanese invasion of Manchuria.
Still others argue that the two world wars are one conflict separated only by a "ceasefire".
Here are other significant dates of the war:
* 10 June 1940: Fascist Italy declares war on Britain and France.
* 7 December 1941: Japan attacks America without any declaration of war.
* 8 December 8 1941: America declares war on Japan.
* 11 December 1941: Germany and Fascist Italy declare war on America.
* 8 September 1943 Fascist Italy surrenders.
* 13 October 1943: Italy declares war on Germany.
* 19 April 1945: German forces in Italy surrender.
* 8 May 1945: Germany surrenders (VE Day, Victory in Europe Day).
* 2 September 1945: Japan surrenders (VJ Day, Victory over Japan
Day). General Okamura Yasiyi submitted surrender to Douglas MacArthur
and Admiral Chester Nimitz on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
Here is more input:
* Prior to September 1939 Germany had regained the Saarland by
plebiscite (in 1935, as stipulated in the Versailles Treaty). It had
annexed Austria in March 1938 and effectively Czechoslovakia, but these
were not deemed acts of war by France and Britain. They agreed to the
first annexation of Czech territory (Munich Agreement, 1938) in the hope
of avoiding another major war. When Hitler invaded Poland, Britain and
France issued an ultimatum (final demand) to Hitler, which was ignored,
and declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939. Australia, New
Zealand, Canada and South Africa - independent members of the British
Commonwealth - also declared war on Germany.
* Some see the war starting when Japan, in 1931, took over Manchuria
and resigned from the League of Nations, but this did not develop into
full-scale war until 1937. In 1938, Japan attacked the USSR and was
soundly beaten back by the then-unknown Georgi Zhukov, who later
masterminded the defeat of Hitler.
* The end of WWII was in 1945. However, there were some Japanese
soldiers on isolated islands in the Pacific who never got the message
that the war ended (or they believed it was a trick) and they fought on
for years afterward. Believe it or not, the last Japanese soldier to
surrender was Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onada who emerged from the
Philippine jungle in 1974 to finally surrender. His book, "No Surrender -
My Thirty-Year War" is fascinating.
* The commencement of World War Two has different dates in different
countries. To the Americans, World War Two started on December 7th,
1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbour. To Britain, France, Canada,
Poland, World War Two started on Sept. of 1939, when Nazi Germany
attacked Poland. To Czechoslovakia, World War Two started in March of
1939, when Nazi Germany attacked them. To the Ethiopians, World War Two
started in 1936, when Italy attacked. To the Chinese, it dates back to
1931, when Japan occupied Manchuria. The Russians date the start start
June 1941 (not 1939).
* World War 2 "started" on the 3rd of September, when Britain
declared war on Germany (they had a treaty with Poland). The war ended
in early May 1945 in Europe, Hitler having committed suicide in April of
that year. The war in Japan ended after their surrender to the
Americans in response to the A-bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
-respectively the 6th and 9th of August 1945.
* By a long-standing convention, the dates are usually given as
1939-1945, except in Russia, where they are usually given as 1941-1945.
If one gives another starting date, one conveys the message that one is
making some point or other, for example, that one is claiming that the
sufferings of the Chinese have not been given the attention they
deserve. As for the notion that WW1 and WW2 were one war with a 20-year
truce, this is usually not meant in a literal sense. </span>
the right to vote, freedom of expression and debate (more info below)
Explanation:
The text, first referred to as the English Bill of Rights of 1689, includes many of the freedoms that were later contained in the First Amendment, such as the right to vote and freedom of expression and debate (specifically applied, such as the U.S. Constitution's speech and debate provision, to representatives.
They did not want to pay higher prices for agricultural products. Even though the policy of destroying food was not widely accepted, the major criticism came when the prices of farm products (from bread to cotton shirts) increased up to 50%.
Because the world was struggling harshly and motivations were becoming pointless, a simple thing like talking could help beyond measures, hope this helps.
