Interesting news item...
Britain makes final WWII replayments to Canada and US.
I'm not sure what surprised me more:
(a) that I didn't know there was an outstanding debt left from WWII;
(b) that it wasn't paid off long ago; or,
(c) that the US and Canada didn't forgive any outstanding balance decades ago.
I wonder what other financial commitments from WWII (or earlier) are still outstanding by any of the parties involved.
