Bullies need Bystanders : WWII provided plenty of both

The Axis were the Bullies of course.

But to a shocking degree, the Allies and the Neutrals were the Bystanders.

Individuals in all nations confounded this national stereotyping - some for better , many for worse.

Germany, a relatively small nation with only three percentage of the world's population and natural resources wanted to kill all of Europe's Jews.

Bully : bad, bad bully.

But it took almost all of the remaining 97% of the world to stand by and let them,  for it to actually happen.

Bystanders : bad, bad bystanders...
