Talk:Opposition to World War II

message: This article should probably be renamed to "American Opposition to World War II" as it only encompasses an American point of view. Wikipedia is global. As a non-American, this article is incredibly confusing.

message: I just redirected the badly-written and essayish WWII Protesting to here. If you really want to put any of this stuff in here, help youself:
===World War II protesting===
There were many debates on the protesting during the World War II era. They didn’t know if protesting should be allowed. Some people think that there wasn’t much protesting. Also, why did we protest against the WWII? Some wars’ protesting was different than WWII’s protesting. Protesting wasn’t a major event in the 1940s.
Many wars were similar, but different than WWII. For example, 43,000 people objected WWII, but 100,000 people protested the Iraq war, leaving a difference of 57,000 people! [1,2]  Also, similarity wise, WWII, the Vietnam War, and the Iraq war all have or have had protesting.[3,4]  Also, there were signs for the Iraq war, but none for WWII.[5,6]  There were or are many essays protesting one of the listed wars<! .[7]  You can now see that there are probably more differences than similarities of the wars.
One may not know why the Americans protested WWII. That person will soon find out. One reason Americans protested WWII was because there was much victory by Germans. [8]  There were also many deaths. [9]  Some people, also, didn’t agree with women working. [10]  Since men were at war, women had to work. [11]  They didn’t like the fact that women were working.  WWII’s protesting really didn’t have much cause.
There wasn’t much protesting going on during the WWII. As said by a person alive during World War II, was that there wasn’t much protesting at all. [12] When there was protesting it was only on the radio. [13] Protesting wasn’t publicized that much, so it wasn’t considered that there was much protesting.  Also, there weren’t any signs made for protesting, so there couldn’t be as much protesting. There wasn’t as much protesting as one may think.
Overall, many things caused WWII protesting, there wasn’t much protesting during that time period, and there are similarities of protesting from other wars. Many people think that protesting occurred much during the time period. People think that protesting is bad while others think that protesting is okay in certain situations. I think that protesting isn’t that good, though, people can have their own opinions, and they just shouldn’t show them. Protesting is a different subject for some people, but it can get pretty interesting.
Just a note on the numbers of protestors. The US population was 130 million in 1940 and 300 million now, so the number of protestors is actually the same by percent of population at about .033 %. That's a very small number.

message: I see two main problems in defining the page, the definition of World War 2 and the definition of opposition.
The definition from World War II is it started with the German invasion of Poland and Asian World War II started in late '41. Therefore British appeasement or any Japanese reluctance for war with China would not be included. I take opposition to be of two kinds, anti-war on principle and anti the involvement of your country in the war. Therefore I would exclude American sanctions on Japan as they were not either of these. These are just some ideas so I can start improving the page, as I fear this page could easily spiral out of control. Dushan Jugum (talk) 06:02, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
