Finland's status as a "neutral" is an euphemism at best. She was at the brink of being taken over by domestic communists supported by the victors of the Continuation War. It may be theoretically true, but if so, it's a misleading factoid, as it emphasizes less relevant information but supresses the more relevant.

Furthermore, even factoid on a "declaration of war" may be true - or not - but as the relevant link to the Lapland War is missing, and as the relevant dates for the war (September 19th for the commitment, November for start of hot combats, April for conclusion) are omitted (there is, admittedly, not much space) the result of these strange notions is nothing but confusion for the reader.

In any case, it's hard to understand why such informations are omitted in the relevant article.

I have put a general comment on year layout on my talk page, particularly on the way year by topic is dealt with. There are three different variants and I would like agreement to standardise. This would involve deleting the year by topic from the paragraph list on this page but keeping the box at the topBozMo(talk)

I think the information about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki could be shortened. I do not wish to hide the facts. But every other entry is way much shorter. In a list such as this one we do not need to discuss whether Nagasaki was the primary target or not.

My proposal:

Isn't this page subject to some sort of neutrality? How come that during WWII Soviet forces have "found concentration camps", "occupied Warshaw" and "invaded Austria" (which was not even part of soviet block afterwards, btw) and allied forces "liberated concentration camps" number of times; and "liberated", "seized" and "landed on" and "recaptured" number of places. So bad all evil in this world hates them for their freedom...


7th of August: I doubt that Truman meant Nagasaki
