just correcting a point of history.

it didn't become a world war at the moment *we* formally joined it. by then war had been going on for a long time, involving many countries, in virtually all of europe and much of asia as well as africa and the middle east.

the only real debate as to when it started was the german invasion of poland in 1939 or the japanese invasion of china in 1937.
