The government doesn’t claim it, but constantly Americans claim it. I’m not denying their involvement in the war at all, but what im saying is this, without the Soviet Union we would not have won, without the British empire we would not have won, without the French we would not ha........well actually we could have won without the French. But the overall point is no one country won World War 2, it was a team effort.
One thought I have is that because the United States only entered the war when it was convenient for them, they were not as exhausted as the other combatants, and thus believe victory was solely due to them.
Please no rants about how America kicked **** and would have beaten Hitler back from anywhere. I agree, all the Allies fighting kicked ****, but to keep on saying America beat Hitler, or America saved the world is like attributing a sporting teams win to the last scorer when surely it is a team effort.
(I guarantee every second answer will be an abusive American!)
