:>   Recently on a radio station the question was posed:
:>    "How many nations were involved in WWII?"
:
:Libya was an Italian colony, Italian Somaliland was just that, an Italian
:colony.  Ethiopia was independant.  Check out an old map of Africa.  There are
:three independant countries: Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa.  The rest were 
:controlled by Europe.

  Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't old Benito grab Ethiopia a few years
  before the Second World War?
