Should Americans also thank Briatain and Russia for the fact that they dont speak German?

Question

It seems at time as though America feels completely responsible for the defeat of Germany.

Maybe America can win the silly "war on terror" by themselves too.

Answer 1

No, I think you better research that history a little more. Without American funding, they all would have been up **** creek without a paddle.

Answer 2

Is that what we think?

Thank you so much for telling us. BTW, the whole reactionary reply from Americans of "we saved your *** from speaking German" I generally find, is in response to their country getting a tongue lashing in the first place. We know that you don't like the whole "you'd be speaking German if it wasn't for us" so that's why we say it. You piss us off, we piss you off.

Also, the whole "War on Terror" thing. No worries. Soon enough, we will be fighting it alone. So then you can sit back on the sidelines, and root for America's demise with the rest of the world. All in good time, all in good time.

Answer 3

Well to start the Russians really weakened the Nazis, and that fact is never told in American history books or Hollywood movies.

Nobody is saying the US didn't do its bit, and for that we're all thankful. I just constantly tire of the endless credit-taking.

Furthermore, the British suffered far more during the Blitz than America did--and that includes considering Pearl Harbour. America has never, War of 1812 excluded, been attacked by a standing army on its own soil. 9/11, however awful, doesn't really count, and Hawaii was not yet a state in 1941, when Japan attacked.

Answer 4

The nazi Goebbels avered a truism that said if you tell people a lie often enough and it comes from a powerful / authorative sourse,the people will simply believe the garbage.

One of these Goebbel type myth/lies is that the US is a beacon of democracy,freedom and liberty .

In 1914 the world was faced with it's greatest threat against democracy by Germany and had to declare war .Virtually all the allies and friends realizing that democracy had to be protected decided to PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTHS WERE and declared war against Germany along with the other European nations.

All of course but the hypocritical UNITED STATES who simply gave THE FINGER to all their friends and allies and said GOOD LUCK and drew up their draw bridge and proceeded to make untold fortunes on war profiteering off their friends and allies who were in desperate staits.

It was only with the DIRECT attack on the US in the form of the sinking of the Lucitania that the US decided in 1917 to join the fright for democracy and freedom.

In 1939 the world again faced an enormous threat to democracy,freedom and liberty when Hiltler began his atrocities and again most of the allies and friends declared war immediately along with Britain et al in1939.

It's called standing with your friends and allies in the time of their greatest need.

Once again the UNITED STATES gave it's friends and allies the FINGER and again drew up their draw bridge and proceeded again to make un-told fortunes off the death and destruction of their friends and alllies while Americans were safely tucked away .

It was again ONLY when the US was directly attacked (Pearl Harbor) that the US entered the war .

Now tell me again the crap about the US being a beacon for democracy and freedom and liberty.

In fact in additional to the above FACTS ,the US has in fact DESTROYED at least 15 democracies in the past 55 years .

In fact the US is the greatest supporter of vile murdering right wing dictatorships .

The US is not and never has been primarily a beacon for democracy and freedom but what it is FIRST AND FOREMOST is a beacon for AMERICAN STYLED CAPITALISM all explained by US NATIONAL INTERESTS (READ PROFITS).

To the question itself.

By the time the US effectively entered WW11 it was mid 1941 and two major events had ALREADY happened that had turned the tide of war .

First the famous Battle of England had been won by the RAF and ALL IMPORTANT Hiltler had made the same catostrophic wrong decision that Napolean had made and that was to declare war on the USSR which meant that Germany had to fight on two fronts.

While no doubt that the US belated entry into fighting for freedom and democracy did SHORTEN the war,the war would have eventually been won without the US active participation (as opposed to just the making and supplying of arms and the huge profiteering that went on) imply because of the two previously mentioned factors.

That the arrogant,beligerent Americans in their monumental hypocricy and war profiteering claim to have won WW11 is a vile insult to all the other millions that died long before the Americans even entered the war.

For example ,the PER CAPITA WW11 MILITARY CASUALTIES OF A RELATIVELY SPARCELY POPULATED COUNTRY LIKE CANADA HAD TWICE THE NUMBER OF WAR DEAD AS THE US .

To read some of the smug intellectually/educational and morally bankrupt opinions on this board is simply a disgrace like deficating on my fathers grave in France where he fell .

Answer 5

NO. The Americans furnished the Brits and Russians with food and military goods during the war. We had the only producing factories. As to the war on terror and any other war since WWII the Americans have forgotten how to fight. Our military could defeat probably anyone or nation in the world but the politicians tie their hands and the American public does not have the strength or courage to make even a small sacrifice for our servicemen and women. We are too selfish.

Answer 6

It is actually more likely that all of Europe would be speaking Russian if America had not intervened. Russian industrial strength was second only to the United States. The vast frozen lands of Russia allowed them to trade territory for time. They would have eventually defeated the Germans with or without help from the West.

Answer 7

flow back a splash bit in background to the The French and Indian conflict..The Colonies had the prospect to break unfastened at that element from English rule, by utilising the way ,,we do talk English,,properly for the main area right here interior the U. S.,,

Answer 8

It was called a World War for a reason. Everyone had something to do with it. Neither country could have done it alone (sure the Americans had the a-bomb, but dropping it twice was among the most controversial moves in history and they really couldn't have dropped it a third time without serious opposition, mainly from inside the country).

Answer 9

Like it or not, any serious study of WW II shows clearly that the United States was instrumental in defeating the Axis Powers. You'd have a hard time finding any historian that would dispute the likelihood that the whole of Europe would have fell to the Germans had we left them to fight it themselves. That does not diminish the brave fighting by England and our other Allies. Some folks don't like the way history pans out but that doesn't mean it's okay to rewrite it.

Answer 10

The Brits did an extremely honorable job during both WWs. They held the line for a long time pretty much on their own. The Russians basically cut the backbone out of the Nazi army during the long winter, where millions of their own people were sacrificed.

Yes, both countries, as well as the Resistance and China (fighting on the Pacific side) deserve our thanks. It was a group effort.

Answer 11

Not really, corporate America were investing in the Germans, and the British. They were going to profit either way (the loser always pays the winners debts too)
