	History of the French Resistance - the Alliance Reseau, Maquis, FTP and FFI
		World War II had started when France and Great Britain both declared war on Germany after Hitler ordered the invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939.
		Since Great Britain was the only country still at war with the German Reich, the collaboration of the French resistance with the British was a violation of the Armistice, as was the later collaboration of the partisans with American troops after the Normandy invasion.
		The collaborationists felt that the German war machine was invincible and the only sensible thing to do was to become allies with the Nazis who would soon unite Europe under their domination.

	Chapter 3: The Legacy of World War II
		The Legacy of World War II Even as revelations of German war crimes were coming out in the trials at Nuremburg, American special warfare strategists were studying the tactics of German occupation forces during World War II.

		For Beckett, those years leading up to his most productive period had been an elaborate war nightmare — for instance here's where he had to live for six months — a nightmare Beckett never wrote about directly although allusions to it are everywhere in his texts of the postwar decade.

	Analysis: Estonian War Veterans Provoke Russian Reaction - RADIO FREE EUROPE / RADIO LIBERTY
		Like their Estonian counterparts, few citizens in the now-independent region are aware of their countries' fascist pasts or of their parents' and grandparents' collaboration and "standing-by" (holocaust historian Raul Hilberg's appropriate concept) during World War II.

		This was followed by the Great Northern War (1700-1721), during which the Russians occupied Finland; at the Peace of Nystadt (1721) it lost large areas in the east, with Russia gobbling up yet more Finnish land after another war in 1741 to 1743.
