ok, minor interest. Britain adopted a wholly defensive attitude until 1944 leaving the heavy lifting to the Americans. The Russians did not declare war until august 6, 1945. The French (Vichy) collaborated with the Japanese until early 45, not something they like to remember. The Dutch did fight hard to defend Indonesia in early 42, but were overwhelmed.
