Austria willing joined with Germany.

Austrians are Germans. It's nothing like the China/Tibet situation. Tibit has a large land area and a tiny, fairly primitive, and pacifist population. Millions of Han Chinese have already been moved into the territory to colonize it. It's game over for Tibet.

        I do have to agree with you that Tibet would have been taken over by the Soviets had the Chinese not done so. - TAFKASE - 4/10/2008 1:45:01 PM
        
        And your sources for believing that? - Bowser - 4/10/2008 5:38:52 PM
        
        It's a little more complicated than that. - TB - 4/10/2008 7:05:12 PM

        Taiwan is Chinese even more than Hawaii is American. - Bowser - 4/10/2008 5:41:42 PM
        
        Missed the point. Tibet is a province of China, and has been for a long time. (n/t) - Bowser - 4/10/2008 2:18:25 AM
        
        True, that's my point too. - Lee - 4/10/2008 4:42:42 AM

        More like polar opposites. - Lee - 4/10/2008 9:52:30 PM
        
        Seems like the and equivalent set of protesters to me, rather than polar opposites. - alcaray - 4/11/2008 4:11:00 AM
