There was not a single day that WWII started. It started in 1933 when Japan looked westward to China, and a bit later when Italians looked southward to Abyssinia and Hitler, rather later late in the game looked east in 1939 to Poland and beyond. WW II started on multiple days from 1933-1939. mike

Sorry to bring this up again, and, yes it's trivial, but Chris actually means Britain (or the United Kingdom). In this context especially, I don't think many Scots, Welsh and Irish would think it trivial, just ask Sean Connery. :- ) N.B. Mainland Europeans are even worse than Americans on conflating "England" with "Britain".
