Any World War 2 topic

REBUTTALS:I would like to clear up the misconceptions that the opponent might have first. The opponent starts with talking about Vietnam and Cambodia, and why the war was forced. However, the opponent seems to be confused of two things:1. The Franco-Thai War was waged before the Japanese Invasion of ThailandThe Franco-Thai War's first engagement, a brief skirmish Thai and French planes, was in October of 1940. The last engagements of the war and the armistice was signed in March 1941; the Japanese did not invade Thailand until December the 8th, 1941, months after the signing of the armistice. Thailand had complete control over her actions before the Japanese invasion, and the war was waged on the will of the Thai people and the Thai motherland. Therefore, the opponent's points go cold when he starts talking about the future (1942)2. The Franco-Thai War wasn't a part of World War IILike I said in my introduction, Thailand was still independent and neutral in March 1941 when the war ended; for a battle, or a conflict, to become a part of the war, both of the participants have to be from opposing side; Thailand was neutral. Also, this war had no overall significant impact on the future developments of the war (but not neccesarily the future of Thailand). I would like to also disagree when the opponent states that "Frnace had already surrndered to Germany, so they could not say no if Hitler request they turn over their ports and bases to Japan" as the French were still resisting the Japanese during it's invasion of Indochina.The Franco-Thai war was waged on just terms because:1. The Land was thoroughly ThaiAreas seized from Thailand during the 1880s were highly populated with Tai-speaking or outright Tai-people. Laos, for example, has a language similar to that of Thailand, and their people were largely Thai; even today, the bond between the two nations are clear. The Laotians use a classical version of the Thai script, while the Thais use a more modernized nation; but both nations, considered brothers by some, share the same linguistics and culture. It is therefore absolutely neccesary to reclaim these lands from the French, who had ought to eradicate the Thai language in that area and replace them with the French language and culture.2. The People were oppressed in those areas in which Thailand lostThe people were forced to pay taxes and submit to French rule and law, highly different from the traditional Thai values they were brought up with. They were not allowed to participate in the government of their own country; the two monarchs of the countries, whose right to rule was divine, had their powers abolished and became a figurehead of the declining Buddhist traditions. They were met with oppressive taxes from the French authorities; the only good the French did was they developed the infastructure of both nations, but they are still highly obsolete today.3. The French Started ItAccording to Direk Jayanama in his book "Thailand in World War II", Thai and French soldiers were skrimishing since September 1940. As stated in the introdution, a Thai man was killed in French-Indochina, which spurred nationalist sentiments. A French plane flew into Thai territory, which incited more nationalist anger; however, the breaking point was when a French raiding party raided a Thai village. The French started it, and the patriotic soldiers of the Thai motherland must retaliate, for the good of the Thai people.The war was a just war, and was legitimately waged.
