    it could be but i dont think it is
    there is a movie (can u guess what it is) based off of WW2

    but ww2 was just well so huge (hmm... world war) that unless you have a much bigger world than avatar you cant really relate it as much. however i know for a fact that the first tanks were german (they sucked) and were built during WW1 im not as familiar with that war so i couldnt tell you much, except that the fire nation does in fact have the first tanks (ironic is it not). BTW if you guessed Lord of the Rings you won the prize of self satisfactory

    plus think about zeplins, they were first used in WW1.

    and if it were WW2 i know for a fact that from the time the US deployed paratroopers, the war changed from Geramny favored to Allience favored (Russia, Britan, and US say ok well the top 3 world powers have decided to kill you Hitler)

    just thought of it the hundred years war!!!! b/w britan and france not much event relative but the fact that aang froze himself for a hundred years (right b4 the war started) kindof gives a relativity doesn't it (Carlos Mencia points saying Dee Dee Dee)

    Thanks for the complement. Anyway I am just use to whenever someone on a forum says America did a lot during WW2 people coming out of the woodwork flaming the poster who said that and saying the person is a ignorant American, and America wasn't needed/not needed as much. These kind of topics usually turn into huge flame wars all over the internet.
    If i lived in WW2 age europe i would not see it as possible for Great britan and the other allies to stop Germany and the other axis by them selves. On the other hand i cant see USA coming in and defeating all the axis whithout support of Great Briton and other allies. It was a WORLD WAR. it was a group effort. ( aang cant save wourld whithout help and they cant do it by them selves)

    Are you sure that Germany made the first war machine called a "tank". Im 95% sure that tanks were originaly made in Great Briton by a ship making facilaty. (keep in mind by now ships were made of metal) It was so top secret that they told the people who made the bodies of "tank" that they were advaced liquid holding tanks.(who belived that i wonder) the name "tank" stuck.( you are right in that they sucked)

    are you kidding Russia, the US, and Britan were like the top world powers during the times (excluding Germany), and after that was Japan.

    it was a close war but you have to balance out the odds and realize that almost all of the world powers were all warring over the indo Eauropean plain, the allience won because not only did they play it perfectly but Germany was also a country losing power because of all the chaos it created for itself, not to mention Hitler was a coward, a little crazy faciest ... wuss.

    also dont just look at ww2, in all of history no european conquerer not one ever made it past north africa or mesopatania

    another war i just thought of that could relate well it never became a war, but a chinese emporor once had the naval fleet large enough and powrful enough to conquer all of the seas, then he died, and the new emporer had all of the ships burned (wtf). i dont remember exactly when this was but it was around the height of the persian empire (these warships had some 7-8 masts each holding around 4-50 connons a boat versus the modern day vessels still using flaming arrows and experimenting with the death ray)

    Ok first of all you did not read my post very carefully i said ally europe could not have done it whithout US and US could not have done it whithout ally europe and russia.

    ??Hitler was crazy but make no mistake he was a military Genius.(battle of Bulde aside)

    You say no European conquerer made it past Nafrica this is true, but Alexander the great (greece) made it well into india my friend. You are right about Chianese navy exept the boats were not??burned they were scraped??after the chiense were woreded about home land security (pun intended)??but same differce. nice to see another histor buff among us.

    The British Empire was the most extensive empire in world history and for a substantial time was the foremost global power.

    You mean admiral Zheng He. He lived in 1371???1433. China could have colonized the world but Imperial officials for some reason gave up on maintain a Chinese presence in the Indian Ocean and even destroyed most of the nautical charts that Zheng He had made, and let the ships rot in the harbors.
    As for the war ship thing, it looks like you mixed up many things from all over history. Europe had cannons in 1326. The Death Ray was from Archimedes. (Which never happened or cannot be proved.) Perisa was under control by the Mongols around the time of Zheng He.
