It was the Land Girls who kept Britain fed.

Canada couldn't feed Britain because the U-boats were blocking our ports, remember.

Land girls... lmao

Of course Canada and the US fed Britain with the convoys. Churchill even admitted it. If it was up to the Briddish Navy alone you certainly would have been blockaded. You tards were still planning for Jutland. lol

Truth hurts... Churchill BEGGED.


That still does not take away the FACT that many experts are now of the opinion that America was not needed in WWII. It seems that Churchill was WRONG to think he needed American intervention

Try doing a bit of research. You'll see that I'm right. That's if you dare, of course. Because the truth would hurt you, too.

There are many historians now who believe that Britain could have won WWII without America.

In fact, there are even those who are of the opinion that American intervention only lengthened the war.

The Battle of Britain was only important for Brits.

Bollocks.

If Britain had lost the Battle of Britain then there could have been no Normandy landings.

No Normandy landings would probably have meant victory for Nazi Germany in the war.

Britain's victory in the Battle of Britain was important for humanity.

The Brits were the ones that declared war on Germany!

At least Germany didn't declare war on us, as it did with you.

You started a fight that you couldn't win without allies.

Nazi Germany started that fight when it invaded Poland.

That's what happens when you start a war by yourself.

Who taught you history?

It was Nazi Germany who started WWIIl

Just Briddish pride is hurt still after all these years.


I'm afraid mine isn't hurt. It can't be when I know that I live in the greatest civilisation to have ever bestrode planet Earth.

You're wrong.

Not I'm not.


Vietnam... blah blah blah.

Moving the goal posts. Typical Brit.

You lost the Vietnam War, didn't you? It was embarrassing for you.

You would have had no chance fighting Nazi Germany alone, as Britain did in 1940. We put up a better fight than you would have done.

Many Brits think so because the pain is unbearable that you needed to be saved.

Not at all. Many historians believe the exact opposite.

In fact, there are even those who are of the opinion that American intervention only lengthened the war.
LMAO. Same historians?



Bollocks.

If Britain had lost the Battle of Britain then there could have been no Normandy landings.

No Normandy landings would probably have meant victory for Nazi Germany in the war.
Without the US and Canada there would have been no D-Day. We saved youuuuuu!

Britain's victory in the Battle of Britain was important for humanity.

Duh!

Time to hit the books BL!

The British? When did the earth move Poland, Canada, Australia, South Africa to the turd in the Atlantic punch bowl?

Actually to "give the Devil his due" Britain was by far the main participant in the Battle of Britain, which I guess saved their bacon for the time being but small potatoes in the entire war.

One would hope so. One would hope that the main participant in the Battle of Britain was actually Britain! I know... it is shocking. How many times do other nations have to save their sorry azzes!

Small potatoes for sure. The Germans turned their attention to the Soviets. That saved their bacon.

48 squadrons of Canadians are what tipped the scales in favour of the turd in the Atlantic punchbowl. Without us, they would have been occupied in a heart beat.

Even without US personnel in your war, did you have Boeing, Douglas, North American (in which your Merlin was magic) or the makers of the Sherman? It's much easier to have equipment when the established builders are a thousand miles across the sea. Dunkirk left you pretty much screwed....

Britain and Russia beat Germany.

The USA wasn't needed....

That's incorrect. In March of 1942 Britain was officially broke. The last gold bar in the Brit pile at Fort Knox was transferred to the US pile (the Yanks had been making a killing out of the war, as usual). Lend-Lease started within days. Without US economic help Britain did not have the national ability to maintain the war. The RN outclassed the German navy by a factor of many times, but without wealthy allies Britain could not have fought past March of 1942. Alone she could not have fought that long; she needed Canadian resources, especially Canadian ports.

A total of $50.1 billion (equivalent to $650 billion today) worth of supplies were shipped. That represented 17% of the total war expenditures of the U.S. In all, $31.4 billion went to Britain, $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union, $3.2 billion to France, $1.6 billion to China, and smaller sums to other Allies. -------- cut by me -------- Supplies that arrived after the termination date were sold to Britain at a large discount for £1.075 billion using long-term loans from the United States. Canada operated a similar program called Mutual Aid that sent a loan of $1 billion and $3.4 billion in supplies and services to Britain and other Allies.The United States did not charge for aid supplied under this legislation.
Yeah we sure made a killing :roll:. Your knowledge of history is either very poor or you intentionally distort the truth to convince others of just how "bad" us yanks really are.

How did we go from Quebec wanting to leave to WWII?

It's kind of ironic that a thread on Quebec separatism ends up in a quarrel between Brits, Yanks, and English Canadians all of whom have the same origin.
