Case reopened. How many in Europe? That is what we are discussing. Not Pearl Harbor where the yanks got caught with their pants down and the action with Japan.( won't get into the weapon of mass destruction the yanks felt was justified there).
What, you want to penalize the American effort because they were fighting a two front war? Successfully, I might add.
Why were the Japanese not important?
Do you even realize that the Canadian Army was attacked in Hong Kong at the same time as Pearl Harbour?
You want the stats on material sent to Great Britain?
Look at Normandy, as I said before......how many beaches were taken by the USA? How many taken by the Commonwealth? Would the 1944 invasion been possible without the USA? could the USSR have stood without American help?
Probably not.
and if the USSR fell...........all Germany's power would have turned west, and the much smaller force mustered by the Commonwealth to attack Fortress Europe? Thrown into the sea, if any attempt was made.....or years upon years of war......or (even worse) a peace made with Nazism. A temporary one.
Get used to it.....you can twist and turn and try to slither out of it, but the facts remain....the American contribution to the war effort, both in material and fighting forces, between 1940 and 1945 was absolutely pivotal.
That is the historical fact.
As for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, perhaps the Japs should have stayed the hell away from Hawaii.
