A minor squabble with Britain and Russia. Also, I mainly care/know about European/American history from 1798 on. |

Never mind, what is the person? I give up. Also, now I think you should be able to have another go at choosing and giving the riddle. |

HAIL *Patriotic music and drums in background* Subhash Chandra Bose The name is familiar at least... He allied himself with the Axis powers in ww2 to take their help in making his own army and invading India. He even fought in Kohima but due to the axis failure in ww2, it failed. But hey, that doesn't mean he is bad |

He even fought in Kohima but due to the axis failure in ww2, it failed. But hey, that doesn't mean he is bad I remember him now! I just figured out what the Indian National Army was! The army that allied themselves with the Nipponese to give India independence. Also, your last sentence is accurate, because look at Finland. Everyone loves Mannerheim, but they were in the axis. However, just to get a thorn in, was the Indian National Army a legitimate movement i.e. would it be better if it wasn't there? From what I could tell, India was pretty prosperous under the British Raj, and there was a good amount of autonomy... Anyway, go again for the game. |

They have done quite a bit work in India but they took away more. For 200 years literally. That's one of the reason I don't play Britain in ew4 lol. Hut I don't have any personal enimity for them. High respects! |

High respects! Just trying to start a discussion... My theory is that the British would have given India independence if they had just waited a couple of years, but... I always, In EW4 play either Prussia, Britain, France, or the HRE/Austria. |
