Reply to comment by BarelyEvolved in TIL that the civilian sailors of the U.S. Merchant Marine had a higher casualty rate during World War II than any branch of the armed forces. by p38-lightning

That is odd. China was certainly one of the allied powers. Hell they were on of the parties that issued the Potsdam Declaration.

Im not saying they didnt matter, its just that when I think about China in WW2, I personally put them in thier own sub category in my mind.

I do the same thing with Scandinavia(and screw you nordics, I include Finland).

There was just so much going on that wasnt overt battles that I put them in a different mental sub category.
