| == Diplomatic history of WWII == | |||
| It's an awesome undertaking, but if I start putting one together in my Sandbox, would you be interested in chipping in? I just cannot be bothered to undertake something if this magnitude by myself. Actually, maybe better is if I (or you or whoever) put a skeleton together, then post it up as a stub so everyone can immediately see it and contribute to it. That WWII article is just so limited, and will remain so as a military history. Look at Bretton Woods! What a shambles that article is. I can understand it to a large degree, that everyone seems to lap up the battles and fighting and so forth, but the politics of war isn't even on the radar. Imagine trying to get something like Benn Steil's recent book, which I've literally just added to the Bretton Woods article, into the WWII article! Or how about something like this: "The British planned to protact the war longer than Germany could afford, eventually aiming at victory by the fall of 1944, only to have the Americans lengthen it well past the time London thought both prudent and essential, so that they emerged from the war virtually bankrupt." And of course, the politics of war requires a look at economics. Again, how would you ever fit the major findings of Adam Tooze's study of Nazi Germany's economics into that WWII article? They'd never let you! All you'll ever get is this encirclement happened at this point, then there was that counteroffensive, and X number of people died. I mean, that's ''it''?? WWII is rather more than offensive, counteroffensives, encirclements, Moscow and Stalingrad and D-Day and Bagration. You just can hardly begin to understand crucial aspects of WWII without Tooze's book, yet it's not even used once in the article. I wish they'd at least rename it to ''Military History of WWII''. ] (]) 22:46, 14 May 2013 (UTC) | |||
