    as to the elections, it’s not unusual to postpone elections in the midst of a defensive war.

        • France, 1914-1918 war: no elections
        • UK, 1939-1945: No general elections were held during the Second World War until Allied victory was assured via acts of Parliament; hence the 1935 House sat until 1945. (per Wikipedia)

        Shall I continue?

        ww2, in Western Europe, who didn’t pause elections? I don’t know the answer fully, but it wasn’t England. and France was kinda fucked and split in two.
