      China suffered the second greatest number of civilian and military casualties of any power involved in WW2 behind the Soviet Union. China was fighting Japan in open conflict from 1937 until 1945 so are also the only allied power who fought for the entirety of the conflict.

      India mustered 2.5 million men, all volunteers making it the largest volunteer army in history and also the only military who fought in every single theatre of operations in WW2.

      China kind of depends on who you ask and how you look at it. Some historians argue that if you remove a euro-centric bias, WW2 really started with the 2nd Sino-Japanese war in 1937. Or you could look further back to territorial disputes and skirmishes between Japan and China going back to 1931.

      India was a British colony until 1947 and participated as part of the British Empire.

  I like how they had to write the word Germany over his flag to make sure no one mistook it for Italy or Mexico.

    They’re wrong on three counts because that’s not the flag of Germany and both Mexico and Germany were part of WW2

      I mean, how are you seriously going to call it World War without any Latinos involved?

  Indonesia, by quite a bit. Unless they were involved and I just forgot it.

    It was called the Dutch East Indies at the time as a hint.

    Indonesia wasn’t a nation state until 1945. They were, in a roundabout way, a product of postwar decolonisation.
