I seriously think Pearl Harbour is a conspiracy.
Intended to allow fellow AM3R1CAN0s to allow them to go to war with their allies.

I think they actually could've avoided it but...

how to avoid the war, Japan will be attacking other US target just three day later when the offensive in south east asia started.

I always see that Western Front has the most attention, I blame it on media.

Eastern Front (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Front_(World_War_II))

EF features some of the brutal battles and few mistakes made by both Hitler and Stalin. However I can't help but feel amazed how the Soviet beat back the Blitzkrieg from the Krauts parked their army right in front of Moscow's door step in winter all the way to Berlin to end the war.

North Africa Campaign (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_African_Campaign)

Another lesser known campaign that pit British Commonwealth against the Afrika Corps.

Last but not least.

Pacific Campaign (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_campaign)

With US leading against the Imperial Japan. BTW HBO new mini series The Pacific, brought to you by makers of Band of Brothers, is now airing, currently on part 2.

The eastern front have more impact in turning the tide of the war, Hiltler obsession to gain living space for the master race in the east ultimately cause defeat for germany. and also he chosen the useless italian as his alien in europe, he need to bail out the italian several time.

BTW, The Pacific is awesome thumbup.gif
