“Obviously the second World War and the aftermath of all that. To be frank, the World War didn’t end in my experience and those of this area until the early 1990s. And I’m still trying to move on from the impact of that. It’ll take years although… I guess things have been going alright so far. 

 So while it might have been an obvious choice to not have experienced that..I can’t help but wish the people hadn’t been put in that situation. I really wouldn’t wish that on anyone else.” But it almost felt inevitable due to the world’s obvious lack of care for the fate of smaller nations like them at the time. It’s almost like they were collateral for the others. At least that is the feeling that they get.
