Is there a reason why so much of this article deals with post 2 April detail? I suggest it be renamed to something like 'Events in the early stages...", or that we cull the article of all the post 2 April detail and add detailed contributions of the lengthy lead up to the war, back to 1946. I am not sure why this current article is structured the way it is. Comments are welcome. Roger 8 Roger ( talk) 11:04, 28 January 2020 (UTC) reply
