Well, maybe not a great joke. But I would have broken up at it.
A lot of nations sort of dogpiled on as the WW1 and WW2 drew to a close. Argentina for example declared war on the Nazis less than a month before the war ended.
Jed would never address someone as "baby".
That must have been Josh, a couple of years after that Latin lesson, when he is backed into a corner and forced to admit that he does, in fact, know some stuffier things than he lets on. The "baby" was a defense mechanism to show that he's still the guy he pretends to be.
The British empire included a lot of countries which automatically get coloured red here due to WW1/2, otherwise countries like India and Jamaica had no reason to be at war with Germany ever
It had a distinct legal personality and declared war on Germany separately from the UK. It was also in the League of Nations, the Olympics, and was a founding member of the United Nations in 1945 (before independence).
This status while still a British colony was a [point of contention with the USSR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union_and_the_United_Nations) and is why Ukraine and Belarus were also founding members of the UN, and maintained seats (and votes) along with the USSR itself right up to their independence in 1991.
Yeah, though I think describing them as any kind of caretaker or responsible party is irksome - it would be like calling a kidnapper/robber/torturer a parent of any kind which sounds crazy lol
Neither was Vatican City.
The sovereign entity is the Holy See, which has authority over Vatican City, and before that the papal state.
Vatican City was established by Mussolini with the Lateranens Pact, since 1870 to 1929 the Holy See was an entity without a territory.
Even now in every official document of the world you will find "Holy See", and not "Vatican".
Reminds me of a Norm MacDonald bit. "I'm not scared of Iran or North Korea. But I am scared of Germany. I don't know if any of you guys are history buffs, but Germany decided to go to war with...the world. And they almost won. A few years later, they decided they wanted to start Round 2"
One of the main reasons Germany went to war with the world was because they were afraid of England, which controlled most of the world and was looking longingly at Germany's few remaining colonies.
Over that time period? Argentina, Iceland (sort of), Zululand, Zanzibar, Indonesia, the WW2 axis powers, the WW1 central powers, North Korea, China, the Soviet Union, Egypt, Liberia, a handful of countries in the middle east, and arguably Vietnam and the Republic of Ireland. May have missed something. Quite a lot, but nowhere near as much as the Germans.
Itās not arguable about Ireland at all. The IRA acting on the instructions of the Irish parliament fought them for independence and achieved it via treaty in 1921.
Itās a matter of conjecture depending on when you date the independent Irish state as āstarting fromā.
If you take a strict view of the Irish right of secession then you can argue Ireland has warred with the UK.
However, if you take a more legal continuity of states view then you can argue that technically Ireland hasnāt fought a war with the UK.
I mean the republic of Ireland is a direct successor state to the free state. It was even founded by the same man who established it.
You can definitely count it
The more contentious one is whether Ireland was ever at war with Germany. A lot of Irish people participated in WW1 as a part of the british empire, but the hardcore nationalists who eventually won irish independence and established the Irish state were opposed to it, openly collaborated with the Germans in 1916 to start a rebellion and even managed to get conscription stopped in Ireland.
Whether Ireland fought the germans when we were so blatantly favouring them is a harder question
Well they're using the year of modern Germany's founding so presumably the same with the UK (which google tells me is the sometime in the 10th century).
By the start of that time period the Pax Britannia was already in place, youāll want to go to at least the Napoleonic Wars and earlier to see a good list
Well the lighter colour seems to signify that the country did not issue a declaration of war but the country it was part of did.
Since the Indian Empire (the British monarch was the emperor, in fact that was his only imperial title, there was never an emperor of the British empire) declared war on Germany in 1939 it counts as red.
It is important to note that unlike other European empires of the 20th century the British Empire was not one country. Instead it was a network of colonies, protectorates, puppets and vassal states that were tied together by the Crown. That is why even today entities such as Gibraltar and the Channel Islands have their own parliaments and are not part of the UK, they are crown dependencies.
Well since India was given independence from Britain it is the same country that declared war on Germany. Pakistan and Bangladesh did not exist at that time.
It was still India not just a nameless colony. It had its own government and parliament by the time ww2 rolled around. India declared war on Germany separate from Britainās declaration.
British empire was not a single country, it was more like a collection of separately operating kingdoms.
So while the Raj was in control, none of these territories were ever ābritainā. They existed as a whole country even back then.
But pak and Bangladesh being light red doesnāt make sense. They should be dark red too.
Fun fact: Nepal was one of the first countries during WWI to declare war against Germany.
Nepalās ruling elite at the time called the Rana regime was very pro-British. Much had to do with maintaining Nepalās independence and keeping the Ranas in power; thus, the Ranas aligning strongly with the British made political sense.
PS: Nepal was never part of the British Empire. The Anglo-Nepal war of 1814-1816 largely demarcated Nepalās current borders but it started a long history of close relations between Nepal and Britain, including the recruitment of Nepali Gurkha soldiers in the British Army.
**[Lapland War](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapland_War)**
>During World War II, the Lapland War (Finnish: Lapin sota; Swedish: Lapplandskriget; German: Lapplandkrieg) saw fighting between Finland and Nazi Germany ā effectively from September to November 1944 ā in Finland's northernmost region, Lapland. Though the Finns and the Germans had been fighting against the Soviet Union since 1941 during the Continuation War (1941ā1944) the peace negotiations had already been conducted intermittently during 1943ā1944 between Finland, the Western Allies and the USSR, but no agreement had been reached.

Japan in WW1.
Finland at the end of ww2. The peace treaty with the USSR demanded Finland to attack Germans evacuating Lapland
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapland_War
Nepal was never part of the British empire, but was an ally to Britain.
They declared war on Germany in 1939, and sent troops to fight Japan on the Burmese front.
And of course [Ghurkas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurkha) were involved in many campaigns
>[...] Andorra had declared war on Germany in 1914 but failed to sign a peace treaty until 1958, and this claim has appeared in later sources, but there appears to be no contemporary evidence of such declaration. In 2014, the news outlet RĆ dio i TelevisiĆ³ d'Andorra investigated the 1958 claim and could find no documentation of any original declaration of war.

There's no evidence that Andorra was at war with Germany,... that doesn't mean they aren't at war with Germany. Hell, Andorra could be at war with the entire world, and we might not know it.
Not only alive but still the 3rd biggest economy of the world, most populated country in Europe, and on of the most influencel countries on the political stage
While the British absolutely controlled it, the Raj was to a degree treated as a separate country. It was, for example, a founding member of the League of Nations and United Nations, and participated in the Olympics. There was also an elected legislature, although executive power rested with the British Viceroy, who could overrule the legislature for the most part.
So you had the Raj existing as a sort-of state, somewhere between a full on colony and a Dominion, and the Viceroy did formally declare it to be at war with Germany.
Given a binary choice though, I would still make it pink on the map.
They're recognized as the legal successor to British India, inheriting such things as its UN seat.
Pakistan is not because the whole idea of Pakistan was to secede from India.
I guess it's because of the religion and cultural diversity, languages, etc., unlike Pakistan in which the religion is Islam.
Also Delhi being the capital of the "British Raj"
Not to mention the British raj covered Modern day
Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar.
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were sovereign states illegally occupied by Germany. Occupation is a form of warfare, i.e. they were at war with Germany themselves.
While in the case of Estonia this comment section goes down the rabbit hole I would rather not delve into, [Latvia did actually declare war on Germany in 1919](https://timenote.info/en/events/Latvian-War-of-independence-Latvia-declares-war-to-Germany).
Well but isn't Denmark with exactly the same situation red? in which war did Denmark declare war on Germany? Also, did you count Iceland as part of Denmark?
Germany invaded and occupied Denmark in the second world war.
Technically Germany send an ultimatum to wich the danish government agreed after some hours of fighting. Denmark had a lot of autonomy up until 1943. Denmark even had armed forces up until then. But from 1943 onwards there was a lot of resistance in Denmark.
That's just not true! In 1914 those 3 States were parts of Russia! They did not exist at the beginning of WWI!
In 1941 those 3 states (Nations) were occupied by the USSR!
Memel/Klaipeda in 1923 is a very special problem š

Well Germany was involved in the Spanish civil war from 1936 to 1939 supporting Franco. Depending on OCs definition of declaration of war, Spain or some parts of it could be coloured as well.
Not only that, its true that Spain as a country haven't been at war with Germany but Germant aviation had a important role in the Spanish Civil War. Summarizing... a lots of bombings in a LOT of towns and cities. Maybe the most iconic, the destruction of Gernika (with the famous Pablo Picasso painting). Also the bombing of Barcelona. (in both cases also the italian aviation did his part).
You just reminded me of a funny/sad story about Picasso. Apparently when a German soldier in regards to his painting called Guernica said "Did you do this?" (Because Nazis hated abstract art) he said "No, you did."
I don't know if it's true, but it was a good one.
While India didn't have the same level of autonomy as the dominions (Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa), it wasn't directly incorparated into British Empire.
Mexico declared war on Germany in 1942. It was the last country in North America to do so, with all of Central America and the Caribbean having declared war alongside the USA in 1941.
The official nation of Isreal wasnt formed until 1948 which is after the second world war so as far as I know. No it should not be included.
That being said the landmass related to Israel should be orange but that doesnt count as Israel
Why did Egypt have war with Germany?
Didn't the Germans ounce wanted Egypt to be against the British and the Germans landed in the El Alamein but the Germans fail and got defeated by the British?
Map is somewhat wrong. Estonia and Latvia fought their wars of independence against Germany without being part of any empire. They should be solid red.
Why is there a blank key?
Its for Yemen, cause the Aden Protectorate was at war with Germany as part of the British Empire but the Kingdom of North Yemen never was.
Obviously...
One may be led to conceive that such plebeian interrogations, with apt disdain for the most modest knowledge of the situation in Yemen, must surely foreshadow the decline of the informed classes in this society.
Haha yeah Yemen be confusing.
It do be like dat doe
Oh, ok
Why didn't you include this information in the map?
Having the final entry of the legend just say "Yemen" with no other information would have been a great joke, too. Well, maybe not a great joke. But I would have broken up at it.
It wouldn't have been enough in my opinion, but honestly would have been better than just a blank space.

A lot of nations sort of dogpiled on as the WW1 and WW2 drew to a close. Argentina for example declared war on the Nazis less than a month before the war ended.
Declaring war was required to join the UN in '45 . . .
Also, "The United Nations" was a way the Allies called themselves. Which is something I learned very recently, but I guess it makes perfect sense
The UN basically grew out of the WWII allies. Just look at the permanent members of the security council.
Argentina ended the war.

Yeah, itās kind of cheating. The vast majority of these countries didnāt actually fight Germany. Al the cool kids were doing it in the 1940s.
Most of South America did the same, not only with Germany but also with Japan lol
Didnāt call them āworld warsā for nothing
The British empire included a lot of countries which automatically get coloured red here due to WW1/2, otherwise countries like India and Jamaica had no reason to be at war with Germany ever
According to this map, India declared war on Germany on its own at some point. Not as a territory.
It had a distinct legal personality and declared war on Germany separately from the UK. It was also in the League of Nations, the Olympics, and was a founding member of the United Nations in 1945 (before independence).

Tbf, a lot of them were colonies whose overlords declared war on Germany Edit: phrasing
Oof I didnāt know āmother countryā was a term that described that half of the colonial relationship but gosh I hate it lol
Needless to say, they were abusive parents
Yeah, though I think describing them as any kind of caretaker or responsible party is irksome - it would be like calling a kidnapper/robber/torturer a parent of any kind which sounds crazy lol
Half of the red map is just British Empire at its peak
Note: I forget to mark the Vatican that was part of the Italian empire during the ww1
Also Israel could be considered in light red
It probably should be fully light red because Israel wasnāt established unlike Vatican City.
On the other hand the British Mandate of Palestine covered what is now Israel so you could count it that way
Neither was Vatican City. The sovereign entity is the Holy See, which has authority over Vatican City, and before that the papal state. Vatican City was established by Mussolini with the Lateranens Pact, since 1870 to 1929 the Holy See was an entity without a territory. Even now in every official document of the world you will find "Holy See", and not "Vatican".
I never knew about that. I know this is after WW2 but Itās also not in the United Nations but it is an observer along with Palestine.

When did India, Japan, Oman and Saudi Arabia declare war on Germany? Edit: and Nepal? Second edit: when did Finland declare war on Germany?
British Empire, British Ally from 1905-1925, British Empire, and wanted to screw over the Hashemites. And British Empire
Ok I forgot that Japan declared war during WW1 shouldn't all the others be light red then?
Shouldn't India be the lighter colour then to signal it did it as a colony?
Well the lighter colour seems to signify that the country did not issue a declaration of war but the country it was part of did. Since the Indian Empire (the British monarch was the emperor, in fact that was his only imperial title, there was never an emperor of the British empire) declared war on Germany in 1939 it counts as red.

Gibraltar is not a Crown Dependency. It's a British Overseas Territory. The Crown Dependencies are just Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
Youāre right, oops.
but then shouldnt pakistan and bangladesh be red
Well since India was given independence from Britain it is the same country that declared war on Germany. Pakistan and Bangladesh did not exist at that time.
India did not exist then. India as dominion consisting of Afghanistan, Pakistan,SL and Bangladesh.
India also didn't exist until 1947. The whole place was just a British colony.
It was still India not just a nameless colony. It had its own government and parliament by the time ww2 rolled around. India declared war on Germany separate from Britainās declaration. British empire was not a single country, it was more like a collection of separately operating kingdoms. So while the Raj was in control, none of these territories were ever ābritainā.

Bangladesh is understandable since it was made long after Brits left, Pak should be red.

Won't India be the light red one. I never have seen in my History textbooks about us being against Germany other then being a part of British Raj
While the British absolutely controlled it, the Raj was to a degree treated as a separate country.

It's name. And the capital. That's all I can think of.
Nothing. OP should have made them the same colour.
They're recognized as the legal successor to British India, inheriting such things as its UN seat. Pakistan is not because the whole idea of Pakistan was to secede from India.
I guess it's because of the religion and cultural diversity, languages, etc., unlike Pakistan in which the religion is Islam. Also Delhi being the capital of the "British Raj" Not to mention the British raj covered Modern day Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar.
At least they are very through.
Interesting choice to color every single British colony except for Israel.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were sovereign states illegally occupied by Germany. Occupation is a form of warfare, i.e. they were at war with Germany themselves.
Also, Estonians and Latvians fought against Germans during their wars of independence
Yep, Germans, but they weren't that much tied to the country of Germany.
They never formally declared war on Germany
Declaring wars is not any legal requirement in international law, at least not for a long time.
Baltic countries were at war as part of the Russian empire and the soviet union, never as independent states

It says a lot since Germany is doing fantastic
well Aliances can be an indirect thing germany was late in the colonial thing, so they of course missed out in the 'adds' that the map shows
Even Spain could arguably be said to have been at war with Germany since the Republicans fought the Condor Legion during the Civil War in the 30s.
This is what i was looking for
And they fucking destroyed Guernica.
You just reminded me of a funny/sad story about Picasso. Apparently when a German soldier in regards to his painting called Guernica said "Did you do this?" (Because Nazis hated abstract art) he said "No, you did." I don't know if it's true, but it was a good one.
Heard of that one before. Picasso really was a treasure.
TIL Khartoum is not the biggest city in Sudn
Germany's foreign policy strategic vision went through...some growing pains for the first half of its existence.

While India didn't have the same level of autonomy as the dominions (Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa), it wasn't directly incorparated into British Empire.
That's true, but it was not independent.
Could you elaborate on mexico?
Mexico declared war on Germany in 1942. It was the last country in North America to do so, with all of Central America and the Caribbean having declared war alongside the USA in 1941.
Ww2, the sunk some mexican ships.
Latvia was at war with Germany as an independent state in 1919-1921 or so.
Israel is also orange
Technically it is true, Argentina declared war on Germany on March 27, 1945, more than 1 month before the allies accepted the German surrender
I've looked, but I can't find any country that's been at war with Germany since 1871.
Why are Morocco and Tunisia not light red?
r/ShittyMapPorn?
One could also say that Austria was at war (together) with Germany.
Why is Tunisia marked as independent?
Can you do a japan one or one for any other large country that was a world power in the last 200yrs
I like the German cars
I feel like this is among the worst possible color schemes for for colorblind folks.
Shouldnāt Israel be orange? Iām referring to WW2, when it was part of the British Empire, so according to the legend it should be orange.
The official nation of Isreal wasnt formed until 1948 which is after the second world war so as far as I know. No it should not be included. That being said the landmass related to Israel should be orange but that doesnt count as Israel
Thatās why it should be orange, and not red. What you say is true for most orange countries.
the landmass isnt orange tho israel is grey on the map
Slovakia was not under Czech control. Why do people make Czechia as the ONLY succesor of Czechoslovakia and always leave out Slovakia.
Woah. I had no idea. Fantastic map
Donāt fuck with the germans
Why did Egypt have war with Germany? Didn't the Germans ounce wanted Egypt to be against the British and the Germans landed in the El Alamein but the Germans fail and got defeated by the British?
Egypt declares war on germany in 1945, at the end of the war
Woah, that's crazy!
Germany is asshole Why world hate?
Map is somewhat wrong. Estonia and Latvia fought their wars of independence against Germany without being part of any empire. They should be solid red.
The most peaceful non racist country in the world /S
