Did you read the line just before that? The one that said “or, in the case of World War II, [not] even opposed at the outbreak of hostilities”

Please read everything before you make incorrect accusations. It’ll save you a lot of problems

pffft just cause you got masters degree and taught the subject for 6 year, you really think you know more about the subject? well i watched the history channel one day!

By: Badgerjohn

Badgerjohn — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 01:37:09 +0000

I do have a master’s degree in history, and have taught the subject for six years.

I’m aware that Germany and the Soviet Union began the war with a non-agression pact (not exactly allies, but that’s fine), but it was always a key intention of the Nazi regime to invade the Soviet Union, which they later did, at the cost of millions of lives.

Like I said, I wasn’t trying to give a detailed breakdown of international politics or 20th century history. You’re not going to find that on a website that features funny captions for random pictures.

If I offended you, which I obviously did, I’m sorry. But my cental point, like I said, was that one-on-one friendship can help prevent bigger conflicts. If you appreciate that point, great, but if you don’t, then that’s cool too.

In a way, you could say the Russians and Germans did that, then the Germans decided to smash the glass on the Russians when they were taking their drink

“both of whom were key adversaries in World War II.”

Actually they were allies at the start of ww2

YOU ARE STUPID AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND SIMPLE FACTS ABOUT SIMPLE HISTORY

By: IrishEdukator

IrishEdukator — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 21:53:09 +0000

Or read a history book !

Germany started WW2 by invading Poland.
Russia was allied with Germany at the start

YOU ARE STUPID DO NOT TALK IN PUBLIC.

(Badgerjohn uses snooty artist voice)
What I was trying to convey here was the universal brotherhood (and sisterhood) that exists over a simple drink, shown here between the current Chancellor of Germany and President of Russia, both of whom were key adversaries in World War II.
While neither Ms. Merkel nor Mr. Medvedev were alive during the conflicts nor were their nations the only cause of them (or, in the case of World War II, even opposed at the outbreak of hostilities), it seemed like the best point of reference in this case to promote the cause of personal friendship and shared experiences in preventing armed conflict, which I have done in the past. see: http://cheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=4254060

Well, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand did start the war, but almost every major European country wanted to get in the action. New weapon technologies were coming out, and the countries wanted to test them out. The British created the Dreadnought, the plans were leaked, and Germany began making them. The tensions in the Balkans didn’t help either, which was the reason the Black Hand killed Ferdinand.

No? I’d suggest you to check out the afore-mentioned Molotov-Ribbentrop pact for the WWII. Or a movie called “The Soviet Story” which is so good that Russians started burning dolls of the film maker in front of the embassy in Moscow.

By: Tiba

Hear hear! “Official” history is written by the winners, therefore there is no way how they would want to let wider public know that Soviets and Nazis were the best pals in the beginning of WWII. Of course, both trying to double-cross each other, that didn’t end well.

And Hitler wasn’t even German anyway. He was Austrian, so even if it /was/ Hitler’s fault, it wasn’t exactly Germany’s fault. If Hitler would’ve stayed in Austria, then we could have blamed WWI and WWII on Austria.

It wasn’t even the Germans fault in the first place WWI took place.

they just said it was their fault. it was just some prince that got killed somewhere and they all started to for sides, in the end the side of the Germans lost and they shuved all the problems up their asses. that’s why Hitler took revenge… and also because he wanted to make all of Europe one big great country.
