Tuesday, 10 June, 1941

The British House of Commons debates the defeat on Crete, with some
members condemning the administration for repeating the same mistake 
made in Norway.  Churchill states, however, that the decision will be
important in the future.

Bolivia, rejecting a Japanese bid, agrees to sell its entire tungsten
output for the next three years to the United States.

In East Africa, Indian troops are landed and capture the port of Assab.
Assab was Italy's last port on the Red Sea.

Mussolini announces that Italian troops are to occupy Greece.

"If this principle of giving up without a fight any place you cannot be
sure of holding were adopted, would not the enemy be able to make an
unlimited number of valuable conquests without any fighting at all ?"
- Winston Churchill
