Commanders and leaders

[edit]

I am just wondering why Neville Chamberlain (the war began during his premiership), Harry Truman (both VE and VJ day), and even the King (George VI) are not included. On the World War I page, King George V is listed as a leader of the Entente Powers. Was there a more uniting figure in the British Empire/Commonwealth than the King? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omnisome (talkcontribs) 00:49, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The King played no significant role in directing the Commonwealth war effort - he was a constitutional monarch. As I noted on my talk page, the other leaders you suggest would add clutter to the infobox for little gain given that they led their nations for only small parts of the war, with FDR and Churchill being the dominant UK and US war leaders.

Then the page for WW1 is very cluttered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omnisome (talkcontribs) 01:06, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'd agree with that. It's a much inferior article to the one on World War II, and the infobox is a mess. Nick-D (talk) 01:10, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with Harry Truman, Atlee and Chamberlain not being included, we are in fact giving an inaccurate story if they are not included on the leaders list. They should be added. George VI, I understand he was just a figurehead Jjfun3695 (talk) 04:19, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
