Five Brothers and a War

How Did/Does it Happen?

• Russia invaded Crimea, claimed they were ethnic Russians anyway • Russia invaded Ukraine, said they didn’t • Russia shot down airliner, claimed they didn’t • Estonia? Latvia? Lithuania?

• Germany re-militarized the Rheinland • Germany invaded Austria—claimed they were Germans anyway • Germany invaded Sudetenland. Claimed this was fine, because they were ethnic Germans • Germany invaded Poland, based on trumped up incursion with Poles, when it was really Germans acting as Poles • Germany invaded Holland, having promised to honor Dutch neutrality.
