Thus destroying thier sense of national zealotry. Niether of those countries had ever really been successfully defeated and controlled by a foreign power before. The Romans, sure, but they had minimal success in Germania, and the Kamakaze killed off Kubla Khans forces before they could massacre the Japanese.

Indeed, if your theory were true, the countries like Russia and Cambodia would have been bastions of peace too.

I agree. Although, not on Germany's part . . . who were "beaten in submission" as a result of WWI. In fact, it's the result of WWI that really was the major cause of WWII. After the WWI, Germany went home with the attitude of Well men, we didn't win, but we fought hell of a battle! And then they got slammed with the damage bill. And blah, blah, blah . . .

Anyway, like Billy said though, I think that any country really has the ability to be the aggressor when they don't really have anything, or think don't have anything to fear . . . or if they just feel strongly about their cause. But who are the major aggressors were talking about?
