Content: However, what matters less to the government is who they are at war with, as long as they are indeed at war in some capacity. At the beginning of the book, Oceania is, and has always been, at war with Eurasia, and Eastasia is an ally. However, in Book 2, the government announces that Oceania is, and always has been, at war with Eastasia, and that Eurasia is an ally. In short: Oceania has always been at war, and they don't care who they are fighting. At the beginning, it's Eurasia, then it changes the Eastasia, and the government claims there has been no change.
