Which country was the bravest in World War II?

[Ruggery]

Canada, I'm a nationalist, I have to.

Others would be Germany and The UK.

Okay, although the Canadians like the Australians almost fought for the British flag.

We fought for the empire and similar values. And also we fought under the Canadian flag, it had the Union Jack in the left corner but it had our emblem on the center.

[GreentheViper]

too bad their country was reduced to a rubble by the end.

And the Brits used Indian colonial troops in France, Egypt and North Africa, who should have just deserted their units and head back home.

Which country, Germany?

Maybe, they didn't though, so idk.

Mexico won the war. and killed 100 million Nazis.

It was one hundred years ago when Mexico almost invaded the United States.

In January 1917, German foreign secretary Arthur Zimmermann dispatched a coded telegram to Heinrich von Eckardt, the German ambassador to Mexico. With Germany locked in bloody stalemate with the Allies in France, and Britain’s naval blockade strangling the German economy, Kaiser Wilhelm’s government was about to make a fateful decision: declare unrestricted submarine warfare, which would allow U-boats to sink merchant ships on sight.

That also meant sinking the ships of neutral powers, most especially the United States, which would likely respond by declaring war on Germany. But Zimmermann had instructions for his ambassador: “We make Mexico a proposal of alliance on the following basis: make war together, make peace together, generous financial support and an understanding on our part that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.”

This was the famous Zimmermann Telegram. Decoded by the British, who passed it on to the Americans, it became a justification—along with unrestricted submarine warfare—for the U.S. declaration of war on Germany in April 1917.

In the end, Mexico turned down the proposal. But what if Mexico had declared war on the United States?


In fact, Mexican president Venustiano Carranza did order his government to study the German offer, according to Friedrich Katz, in his book The Secret War in Mexico . Carranza’s decision wasn’t surprising. In Mexican eyes, the United States had illegally seized one-third of Mexico’s territory during the 1847 Mexican-American War, including what are now the states of California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. In 1916, a U.S. Army expeditionary force had entered Mexico in pursuit of the notorious revolutionary Pancho Villa, who had raided American territory.

However, when Mexican officials studied the proposal, they concluded that Germany would never be able to ship sufficient munitions (especially given the inevitable American blockade), and that annexing three U.S. states would lead to permanent conflict with America. Ironically, given the current furor over Mexican illegal immigrants in the United States, the Mexican government worried in 1917 that adding millions of Americans to Mexico’s population would mean that Mexicans couldn’t be sure “whether we had annexed them or they had annexed us.”





Hitler also said he would've made Mexico the richest and most powerful nation in the world, but again, Mexico reject his offer and saved the fucking world and the Americas from being invaded by Nazis
Mexicans are always saving the world from shit white people be creating smh

Mexico had the opportunity to invade the United States and recover their lost territories with the help of the Nazis and Mexico ruined it.

Does not this flag seem very independent? It looks colonial.

Yeah it's got the Union Jack but the emblem in the center signifies that it is Canadian rather than say Australian.

Japan. They were literally sending men out to knowingly die just to kill enemy soldiers.

[Selurong]

We were part of the Allied powers, but we have to admit that the Axis were pretty brave.
Germans where the bravest in the European front (fought against everyone). Japan is also equally brave (They even resorted to Kamikaze attacks)

The one with the largest casualties in the war was Russia. Poland was the most damaged country in the war. Manila, in the Philippines was the second-most destroyed city after Warsaw, Poland.

I think, Filipinos were pretty brave too. In our Guerrilla war against Japan, we made sure that 12 out of only 48 provinces were controlled by the Japanese...

From mid-1942 through mid-1944, the Filipino guerrilla resistance[155][156] had been supplied and encouraged by U.S. Navy submarines and a few parachute drops, so that the guerrillas could harass the Japanese Army and take control of the rural areas, jungles and mountains – thus, the Japanese Empire only controlled 12 out of 48 provinces.

This, despite the fact that we were fucked up by our own allies, the USA. The USA was first attacked by Japan, but they chose to war upon Germany first. President Roosevelt promised immediate aid to their colony (us) but it didn't arrive until almost 4 years later.

President Manuel Quezon was so angry about this...

As Quezon’s physical strength began to wane, he never wavered to call upon the American public not to forget the Philippines, through his government-in-exile in Washington. Depression overtook him, as he heard rumors in 1943 that the Japanese “granted” the Philippines its independence. As the U.S. redirected their focus in Europe, Quezon resenting the decision was known to have said:

“Come, listen to this scoundrel! Que demonio! How typical of America to writhe in anguish at the fate of a distant cousin, Europe, while a daughter, the Philippines, is being raped in the back room!”
