All of europe erupted into a world war Greencloud. The government didn't have to go to a Mensa meeting to figure out what was going to happen.

Next, the army was bad because of isolationist policies AND the depression. But they kicked it up before the start of official war in Europe.

Most of the public (I should say) supported involvement. There are always those that don't like war at all. But most wanted to get involved.

What I meant about WW1 was that going into it, people really wanted it. The war sucked and a lot of people died for not much change.

Also, about the military levels. At 1939 we still weren't ready to fight a war, but it was a good amount more then we had 4 years earlier.

When war broke out how many allied countries were properly prepared to fight a war like WW2 ?

New Zealand wasn't, neither was Australia. When NZ declared war on Germany in '39 we only had raw manpower to send to your neck of the woods to fight the krauts. Inadequate training and hard fighting cost us high casualties.But for us and probably the other commonwealth countries delaying involvment in the war wasn't an option or even wanted.

For what ever reason, their wasn't the same urgency for the Yanks to get involved in the war from the outset. I don't care why they were late because all that matters is they eventualy did come to the party, bless their hearts, because I'm real bad with chopsticks.

Straffo: Awaked left foot this morning Mister de Selys-Longchamp?

Selys: Hé... mes coll?gues know qu'il is necessary m'approcher with prudence before my 3?me cup of coffee ? matter I n'ai no bond with the line of Selys. Just selected J'avais this name by respect for the hér

Straffo: Thin Bah then... me which congratulated me to know a baron high

Selys: will still be necessary you to wait, once.

Babelfish R0xx0rz!

Straffo asked me if I got up in a bad mood. I answered that my colleagues usually leave me alone before I have my 3rd cup of coffee of the day. Then I pointed that I had no ties with the family 'de Selys', that I had chosen the name as a sign of respect for the belgian hero.

Straffo said that he was disappointed because he tought that he was talking to a real baron. To which I answered some belgian nonsense....

Google language tools works better. Except for the BGB or minus scripts.

Those language tools don't do a good job of converting English in the imperfect tense into French. The imperfect tense is of course I was or I used to do something. I used to give = je donnais - but the language converter I once looked at translated into something like j'ai utilisé de donner.

Here's the Google version

Awaked left foot this morning Mister de Selys-Longchamp?

Hé... mes collcgues know that I should be approached with prudence before my 3cme cup of coffee R matter I do not have any bond with the line of Selys. I had just chosen this name by respect for the héro.

Thin Bah then... me which congratulated me to know a baron of high

you will still be necessary to wait,

once I has just drunk the 1st cup. Then, I then to look at the world. Seek Morpheus!.

Les collcgues de mes de Hé... savent que je devrais être approché avec la prudence avant que ma tasse 3cme de matière du café R je n'aient aucun lien avec la ligne de Selys. J'avais juste choisi ce nom par respect pour le héro.

Bah mince puis... je ce qui m'a félicité pour connaître un baron de haute que vous serez toujours nécessaire pour attendre, une fois

qu'I a juste bu la 1ère tasse.
Puis, I puis pour regarder le monde. Recherche Morpheus!.
