order of appearance

ussr should be the first in the list of the countries under the map, cause it made the main contribution to the war and won all the main battles of the war and had the largest losses while the united states made far fewer — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trabant1963 (talk • contribs) 13:27, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Change "Indian Army" to "British Indian Army" (Bangladesh and Pakistan's soldiers weren't enjoying a nice vacation when India took arms)

Also Indian soldiers didn't earned 30 Victoria Crosses during the Second World War. It's the overall number for all wars. WW2 got them 17. 11 recipients were Bangladeshi and Pakistani. There was no India alone. It was British India. (Means India, Bangladesh and Pakistan).

It's not nice to steal everything. The very little glory these other countries got from British Raj was "nothing." India already took everything.

This should be the line: British Indian Army earned 17 Victoria Crosses during World War II. Need a fix asap!

Addition of Dominion of Newfoundland

The Dominion of Newfoundland was a dominion who joined in with the British during WW2. Their status of domain offers them limited autonomy. Where should they be put (or should they be put in the first place?) in the article? Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 16:47, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Newfoundland had voluntarily given up its Dominion status in the 1930s and was a crown colony during the war like many others---it had no autonomy at the time and should not be included in my opinion. Rjensen (talk) 17:02, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Newfoundland gave up its self-government in the 1930s, not its dominion status. That happened only in 1949. The Banner talk 17:30, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

look at the RS: 1) Newfoundland "chose to give up responsible government and its dominion status in 1934 and once more became a crown colony" says Ryan D. Griffiths (2016). Age of Secession. Cambridge UP. p. 94. 2) " Giving up of dominion status was until such time as the island becomes self-supporting" says Crossroads Country: Memories of Pre-confederation Newfoundland by Malcolm MacLeod - 1999. 3) "On 16 February 1934, Premier Alderdice signed the papers that surrendered Newfoundland's dominion status " says Sean Thomas Cadigan. Newfoundland and Labrador: A History (2009) p 208. Rjensen (talk) 18:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Do you have more sources? Your source is at odds with this source, that is used in the article Dominion of Newfoundland. 21:32, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

'The Oxford Companion to World War II states that Newfoundland was not self-governing at the time of the war, and allocates it only a paragraph instead of the lengthy entry which all the independent countries involved in the war receive (aside from those who declared war but never participated seriously, which obviously wasn't the case for Newfoundland). Please see page 616. Nick-D (talk) 22:16, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

The Canadian War Museum also says that Newfoundland wasn't self-governing at the time [1], with the result that it automatically entered the conflict upon the UK's declaration of war (something the heritage.nf.ca article also states, along with noting that Newfoundland didn't have responsible government at the time). As such, I agree that Newfoundland should be excluded. Nick-D (talk) 22:22, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

British Empire

All the non-white colonies of the British Empire were automatically committed by the King's declaration of war on 3 September 1939. (Lsnkd (talk) 23:16, 24 November 2016 (UTC))
