Germany and England

by Nesta Webster

Appendix V (our addition)

We will excerpt the last three paragraphs from Chapter 7 here, and you will see that Mrs. Webster's assertion was true.

The intended war will thus be a war of Bolshevism against Fascism, with Great Britain, to her eternal dishonour and eventual ruin, on the side of Bolshevism.

     Of course this will not be the reason given to the nation or even perhaps realised by the rulers at the onset, some pretext will be put forward by the secret directors of world affairs, as it was in the spring of this year with Italy, in the recent crisis with Germany; next time it may be Japan or Franco’s Spain.

    It does not matter with which of the Fascist States the quarrel is begun, the rest will come in with it and the war will indeed become world wide.

Now, here is a list of the nations of the world at war with one another, showing "who declared war upon whom". This is from Voices of History, a compilation of speeches and documents from January through December, 1941. In the Appendices, beginning on page 655 we read:

Department of State Bulletin, December 20, 1941, and of February 7, 1942

TABLE OF DECLARATIONS OF WAR BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER, 1939

Announced on or before December 31, 1941

     The following table sets forth the declarations of war, recognitions of the state of war, etc., beginning with the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 and through 1941. For convenience the term on is used to indicated, for example, that Great Britain declared war on Germany. where time is given, it is the time used in the capital of the declaring country.
