I have just watched the news and greece might be declaring war. you know what this means. France and Germany would go to war with italy and greece and it would be world war ll all over again. tell me you thoughts and opinions and feel free to express them
Such historical talk is parlor talk yes, but even the experts of the time admitted it:
[quote]Surprisingly, there was absolutely no German response, and French foot soldiers passed vacant enemy positions. The much-touted Siegfried Line seemed abandoned. Despite its aggressive beginning, however, the French probe into the Saar evolved into such a leisurely stroll that German soldiers and officials were able to collect their belongings and depart well in advance of Gamelin's legions. In other areas on either side of the French border incursion, German and French customs officials chatted over their striped wooden highway barricades as if nothing was happening. Despite the declaration of war, border towns in France continued receiving an uninterrupted supply of electricity from German power stations. The new European war, it seemed, was a far cry from the horrible slaughter of World War I, 25 years earlier.
Throughout German villages, poilus found curious placards bearing printed messages such as: "French soldiers, we have no quarrel with you. We shall not fire unless you do." Instead of hurling artillery projectiles, the Germans parked loudspeaker vans blasting propaganda messages toward the French lines or erected billboards bearing messages of peace and goodwill.

old world war tactics... you gotta love them. they still work today. =P
it was germans tactic all along to play friendly whit the french untill they were able to kill them. the french were tricked.
That doesn't eradicate the high chance at the time it would have worked.
then we can also say that:
if hitler didn't fight for germany in ww1 then hitler maybe would not have gotten a visa to enter germany. and the whole ww2 never happend.
what if, story's can be anything.
if the french attacked then germany could go around and attack franch from the sea. if franch toke over berlin then hitler could still be active from Schwarzwald. if franch toke over whole germany then other countrys might not have agreed whit it. if franch toke over whole germany then hitler could be active from italy.
evrything could have happend when we speak like, IF ....
If there is a World War III, it will be because of North Korea attacking South Korea. China will (probably) back the totalitarian nation up, while the USA backs the democratic one. I'd love to be able to guess where Russia would stand, but seeing they're the nation of mystery now, I'm going to say "neutral". Besides, they have Mezghorye. Which, happens to be the "don't mess with me" button.
evrything could have happend when we speak like, IF ....
I am merely putting forth a rather missed opportunity as an alternate history. Alternate histories can be far fetched but in this case, it's near credible.
