Indeed, is there more you want to comment? Or is there more you would like to know about the 1930s in Europe? Now I understand that I am taking a liberty with the assumption that OP is referring to European heritage, but I could direct you to a book or two to expand your knowledge of history

Where does it say world war? I only see war in my country.

The comment mentioned world war

I think you should consider the build up of armies/navys on the 30s. Also some pretty quick runs into Fascism. Red army was taking tons of people for the meat grinder
pelletbucket@lemm.ee 5 months ago
compulsory military service when you’re not in a time of war rarely exceeds 2 years. I haven’t looked into it, were people who were drafted in Russia in 1932 still serving in 1939?

Honest question, but where in 1932? Asia sure, but Europe?
Samsonreturns@lemmy.world 5 months ago
There were massive buildup of standing armies. Particularly France with their mobilization to construct and man the Maginot Line. Germany and England began reconstructions of huge and modernized navys. Italy was full throttle Fascism around this time. And yes, Japan was moving some serious weight into China

Thank you, that helps. Was conscription going on outside of Japan at the time?
