Yes. But also, if Angrist is talking about WWI, then his question was wrong, because the Triple Alliance was actually Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Britain, France, and Russia were called the "Triple Entente".

Actually, there was no "Alliance" before WWII. When Germany invaded Poland in Sep 1939, it was Britain that declared war (and later its former colonies), not an "Alliance". France, USA, and the Soviet Union did nothing, later on France was taken over, Germany invaded the Soviet Union, and the US stepped in after Pearl Harbor was bombed.

hahaha, anyways, what city was Stalin born in?

Crono · 11-06-2003, 05:45 PM

He was born in Gori, which is now in the Republic of Georgia.

Question: What day did the remaining German forces surrender to the Allies/Soviet Union?

err..it might have been renamed to gori, but wasn't he born in Stalingrad? which also happens to be where the Russians made their stand?
