''The Kingdom of the Netherlands tried hard to be neutral in the first World War, and at the start of the second they are a voice of diplomacy and moderation in a world with very little time for either. At the same time, they hope they have created defensive lines that can see through the war - safe in Fortress Holland.'' | ''The Kingdom of the Netherlands tried hard to be neutral in the first World War, and at the start of the second they are a voice of diplomacy and moderation in a world with very little time for either.

''Some will tell you that Poland ended as the war began. The Second Polish Republic was only born in 1918, and its borders and territories were contested right from the start - in just a couple of decades, Poland faced Soviet invasion, presidential assassination, military coup, and mounting internal political instability. Then the Germans invaded, and that seemed to be that.'' | ''Some will tell you that Poland ended as the war began.

The founders of the reborn Turkish state learned from their rivals - and in less than twenty years, they made a strong, stable home for themselves out of rubble of the old.'' | ''The Ottoman Empire was swallowed whole by Western powers at the end of the first World War; modern Turkey was born from the War of Independence that ran from 1919 to 1923.
