...and here comes the 40s
the world wars were basically two halves of the same conflict, the only real difference between the two was the whole Russian Revolution that brought a third communist faction into the mix,
and dont kid yourselves, The Soviet Union was a co-belligerent of the Allies, not a part of them. you aren't allied with someone when you're formally at war with them until the mid1920s, watch them kick off a war by partnering with nazi germany, and then have a little ceasefire for 4-5 years between 1941 and 45 when nazi germany betrayed them. and go back to pointing guns at them
Russia sees itself as "other" to the rest of Europe, for those who dont read history, you need only visit a news site to see how that is still the case today
My dad is a child of the 40's. He's the quietest, most thoughtful and loving man. Bring on the 40's.
Nice people are born all the time but fucked up shit don't happend every decade. The worst of the second war happened after 1940
