First of all, it influenced theJewish civilians around Europe very much so and in general war weariness all around the world. People in England lived every day in fear of being bombed or gassed. They even had to carry around gas masks. The civilians on both sides were forced to produce materials of war and were taken away to supply a steady stream of soldiers to replace the many casualties.

Which of these nations remained neutral during World War 2 Spain Turkey or Sweden?
Because Sweden was north of all the European combat zones, they weren't in anyone's way, and were not attacked. It's easy to remain neutral as long as no one is attacking you. We can safely assume that if the Third Reich had won, they would in due course have gotten around to absorbing Sweden into their empire. Neutrality would not have protected Sweden from a victorious Reich, bent upon world domination.

Why did the evacuation of Dunkirk happen?
In May 1940, the combined British and French armies were thoroughly beaten by the advancing German army. A plan was devised to rescue the British Army from France but most of the ports were in German hands, so it was decided to evacuate them from the beaches near Dunkirk in northern France. The problem was that the water was too shallow for larger ships to get inshore so hundreds of small boats were sent over to France from southern England to ferry the soldiers from the beaches to the waiting ships off-shore. While this was happening, they were under constant air attack from the German Luftwaffe. By the end of 'Operation Dynamo' around 338,000 British and French troops had been saved - 10 times more than had been expected, but all of their equipment had to be left behind. Because of this, it became known as 'the miracle' of Dunkirk.

What is the difference between a commonwealth state and a community property state?
There are more details, such as alienability and severability of one's interest, but that may be more detail then necessary.
Community property is a legal system used to determine how property should be distributed if a married couple and in some states registered domestic partners, should be dissolved, by divorce or death for example.
In such a system there are certain types of property that are considered to be community property, meaning they are property held equally by husband and wife even if title should indicate otherwise. Community property is actually best defined by what it is not. Community property is all property that is not separate property. Separate Property is property that 1) was acquired before marriage, (2) acquired after marriage by gift, bequest, or devise, and (3) acquired during marriage with separate property (think of using a savings account created before marriage to buy something during the marriage).
All other property is community property. That would include one's salary during the marriage, and anything purchased during the marriage with non-separate property funds. A business started during before a marriage that grows can have community property characteristics depending on the valuation method used.
The basic idea is that community property jurisdictions view the marriage as a common endeavor by both parties. Even though only one party may be working and making a salary, the rationale is that the non-compensated party makes it possible for the the wage earner to participate in the workplace. The non-compensated party also presumably provides valuable services to the other party (think of staying home and watching kids, cooking, cleaning.) Some say this system started to protect the non-compensated party by giving him or her an automatic 1/2 interest in all community property. Others say now that many families have two wage earners, this system is antiquated.
So, considering what i have said above. You can now see that holding property in the joint tenancy form can be done under either a community property or separate property jurisdiciotn with largely the same results. The easiest way to explain is with an example. Let's say Husband (H) and Wife (W) are NOT YET MARRIED. H and W nonetheless decide to buy a house together as joint tenants with a right of suvivorship. This would mean that they each have the same rights to possess and use the whole of the home, and the survivor automatically receives the whole property. In either a community property state or non-community property state the result is the same.
The result may be different, however, if the facts are changed. Let's say H and W are married. H decides to use community funds (a bonus he got at work of $50,000) to buy a house with his Mistress (M) as joint tenants. Note the difference, in a separate property state, this 50k would be his property and he is free to buy what he wants with it, in whatever form (ignore at this time testamentary substitues a form of protection in separate property states like NY.) So in a separate property state H and M would hold as joint tenants. If H died first, M would automatically get the house.
In a community property state, H has used community funds to buy this house. H really only had a 1/2 interest in the bonus he earned at work, so W also had a 1/2 interest in the home that was purchased. So in a community property state H has a 25k interest and W has a 25k interest. If H were to die first (predecease) then M will take the property, BUT W will still have a 25k interest in that property. That means that M will either have to pay off the 25k to W or an equitable lien will be placed on the land in the amount of 25k to satisfy W's interst in the property.
Community property states afford clear and automatic protection to W.
