I would guess you are from the US?
In the UK, we are taught that the plucky Brits won WWII. I guess you are taught that US won the war. I cannot speak for other countries, but I guess there is more of the same.
For the record, Russia won the war I think it can be argued quite correctly
- marcoperaza 10y agoThe Brits put up a valiant and effective effort, but they didn't have the ability to retake the continent. The massive industrial capacity of the American economy, and the large number of young healthy American men available to fight, was necessary to win the war.
- saiya-jin 10y agowhen US feet touched the european soil, german army was already devastated on the east where most of the force was concentrated. you guys did your homework in pacific for sure, but in europe, whole western front just shortened the war and inevitable defeat (plus preserved democracy in the western part). this comes from person strongly disliking russia, but it's a simple fact that they won the european theatre and paid horrible price in casualties.
- marcoperaza 10y agoVery true, but domination by the Soviets wouldn't have been much better than domination by the Nazis.
