Re: Theos-World Barking up the wrong tree, as usual

No, WW2 brought down the English colonies.  They just couldn't afford  them 
any more.
 
Ghandi succeeded because he was able to use the British fundamental  
weakness, a belief in law, against them.  Stalin would have just killed him  
outright and then wiped out anyone who followed him.
