These are just the ones where I could actually identify factual errors, and there may be others. In general you seem to oversimplify non-American activities, particularly in WWII. Although I respect the fact that this is predominantly a US resource it is a World History course. [[User:RobertWDP|RobertWDP]] 17:23, 24 February 2009 (EST)

== Specific Factual Errors ==
Specific Factual Errors with no room for interpretation:
-The Italian Conquest of Ethiopia took until 1936 (war began in 35, continued through beginning of next year).
-The discussion of the formation of the Axis Powers is a bit off. Germany/Italy signed a treaty in Oct. 1936 and Germany/Japan in November 1936, but the three were not joined as one until Nov. 1937.
-The Russians only took some border territory from Finland, not the entire country.
-The Germans took control of northern France, and ''Southern France'' became the Vichy government.
-Operation Sea Lion was the plan to invade England. Operation Eagle was the aerial campaign.
-Operation Overlord refers merely to the invasion of Europe, not the entire retaking.
-Hitler killed himself on April 30, 1945. May 7 was the signing of the Surrender, and May 8 was the end of operations, or what is celebrated as V-E day.
-Yugoslavia was thrown out of the Comintern by Stalin in 1948; it was not "controlled by the Soviet Union"
-The Berlin Airlift was from June 25, 1948 to September 30, 1949.
