How did the US help win WWII?

Answer 1

we brought men in boats across the ocean.

Answer 2

For the Normandy invasions in 1944, it provided two key leaders.

General George Patton had an awesome combat record from the Pacific theatre, and heroically agreed to command a huge non-existent Army group based in south-east England ready to invade at Calais, which was the shortest and most obvious Channel crossing. The Germans were completely taken in, both by Patton's reputation and by the flood of fake radio traffic, so that Hitler personally ordered major forces around Calais to stay put during the Normandy invasion, which to him was obviously just a diversion.

General Eisenhower was a far more able commander than his combat record in North Africa and Italy would have suggested, and his co-ordination of all the complex elements of the Normandy landings was brilliant. He won the genuine affection of all the ordinary people of Britain, the only American military figure to do so.

Answer 3

When the USA entered the war in December 1941 it had been going on in Europe and North Africa for over two years.
Germany's declaration of war meant that US companies had to stop trading with the Nazis and join with Britain and Russia in opposing Hitler.
As the only one of the major allies which was not under direct attack from the enemy, the USA was useful as a source of war material and increased manpower.
The USA took the major part in the air and sea war against Japan while British and Australian forces were more concerned with the land war.
In Europe and North Africa the USA supplied men and armaments which were vital in the final defeat of Germany

Answer 4

The USA had been kind of neutral till it joined. I can't remember the date, but that year the soviet Union was formed, and it dropped out of the war. Since all other parties/countries had been fighting for a long time, their treasuries were pretty drained, so the entry of the USA really clinched the whole thing.

Answer 5

250,000 dead
3,000,000 wounded
supplied 85% of the oil used by the Allies
supplied 95% of the effort against the Japanese
supplied 33% of the effort against Germany.

built over 10,000 fighter planes
built over 5,000 bombers
built 4,000 cargo ships
built 75% of the tanks, trucks and artillery pieces used by the Western Allies
built 500+ destroyers and destroyer escorts; 36 aircraft carriers, 56 light cruisers, 20 heavy cruisers, 10 fast battleships, 150 submarines, maybe 10,000 landing craft of all sizes.....

just for starters..........

and the poster who said the US traded with Germany...from 1 Sept 1939 Germany was blockaded by the Royal Navy...sorry, no trade......have to get your (Prescott) Bush bashing in elsewhere..

Answer 6

Uncle Sam did not "helped" II WWII.It obviously a convenience, because, say about these reasons:
If Hitler win, what will happen to US w/o the European market
as it`s main market?.The Marshall Plan, wasn`t one of the main sources(Inquire at what rates & the "underground conditions " imposed).To be direct, inquire about "The Bretton-Woods" conference where Uncle Sam said: the Dollar is equivalent to a such amount of gold, & that`s it!!!
Obviously took advantange of it`s position & the strtegy develoved, which in essense wouldn`t be questionable, but in practice went far enough(in terms of equality).Don`t believe me!!!!Look into real history
