      When was the USA ground attacked or occupied during WW2? Pearl Harbour was bombed, yes. But never occupied or invaded.

      Edit: Well, today I learned Japan invaded Islands in Alaska, the more you know.

      Also, if we go by territories of the time, Australia would be Red (Papau New Guinea), England Would be Red (India). New Zealand had ships attacked and sunk in its waters during WW2 as well.

      Turning US red for an attack on a military island in the pacific is quite a stretch

      I was curious about whether Kazakhstan suffered any bombardment, since the German advance in the Caucasus got very close, and there seems to have been a couple railway stations in far western Kazakhstan under modern borders that were bombed in 1942.

      Where did Canada get bombed? Probably the only thing on the map I don’t know

      Edit; googled it, it’s the balloon bombs

      This could be expanded so much more, locations of sea battles is a big one (Pacifc is large, south Atlantic), who sent troops(brazil), hubs of spy action(turkey), there is just so much going on

      I don’t think this map is very helpful. In the case of the USA, sure, there’s that attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, but then you look at the map and it suggest „the whole“ USA was attacked, while in fact the continental USA was basically intact. Likewise India, Australia. The colouring of this map suggest, for instance, that England and Australia suffered the same fate, while in fact Australia only experienced a handful of attacks, nothing even close to the Blitz in England.

      I know that the map is *technically* right. But it’s just visually misleading.

      Sweden was unintentionally bombed almost 30 times by the Soviet Union, Germany and Great Britain. Miraculously I don’t think anyone died.

      I don’t know if excluding Pakistan makes sense. Back then it was a unified country with India and Bangladesh, under the British rule. And British India fought in many fronts in WW2.

      I don’t like the representation, land did not fight, humans did. I have the feeling that the impact in Kansas was different than the impact in Kursk . It would be interesting to see where the battles where and from where the victims of WWII were from.

      Hong Kong was occupied by Japan.

      Edit: I was wrong, hong kong is red

      I’m confused: Kazakhstan was part of the USSR. I’ve seen your rationale for why you didn’t include it but then why include all but a few US states and Canadian provinces?

    25. XAJWX on

      Pardon my ignorance but wouldn’t South Korea be Red too? Since it was occupied by Japan since the 1910’s?

    26. IdeationConsultant on

      Huge impacts, yet most people died in a relatively small part of the map on the eastern front

      Technically UK soil was occupied by German forces after the fall of France. The islands of Jersey and Guernsey (off the shore of Normandy) where occupied from 1940 – 45. In fact I don’t think the allies bothered to liberate them until after the war in Europe ended on the 8th of May.

      I’m assuming the US being in red is because of the Aleutian Islands?

      Must have been really interesting to live in South America and just watch it all unfold
