Lately stuck on WW2 history.

To say war between European powers is a chapter in europe’s Civil war implies much of Europe is somehow a cohesive polity.    It has never been, and as we are seeing now it still isn’t.

Maybe from the inside, but from the outside it look like a basket of nuts and fruits.  

Hey, pal...I'll have you know that Europe is made of many fiercely independent nations, each with a long and proud tradition of hating all the other ones, mostly for reasons so stupid that even Europeans themselves don't fully understand them.  So there.
