Re:
Which you would be wrong. The Luftwaffe and U-Boats would have rendered the RN useless if they brought them to full bear.
the Reich bought everything they had to the Bear-
No. Britain did.
We also would have won the US War of Independence if it hadn't been for more important events elsewhere and the Americans having to rely on French help.
Let's see. If I recollect right, you claimed earlier that the Napoleonic Wars were going on in 1776.
That'd be them English historians again, right?
Just a couple of facts instead of political rhetoric.
Nobody won WW2. Hitler lost it due to spreading his forces far too thin fighting on 3 fronts at once. If he had gone at it one front at a time he most likely would have won.
FDR wanted into the war so bad he provoked the Japanese into an attack. He knew the attack was coming and that Pearl Harbour was the target days before it happened and did nothing to prevent it.
The US hasn't actually won a war since the civil war and that was only because they were fighting themselves.

You aren't very good at comprehending history are you?
Cut off fuel supplies and gave China a little help. Then this thing about the Pacific US
What rubbish.The North African Landings was a British-dominated exercise.
The Second Battle of El Alamein, in which the British crushed the Germans, saw no American involvement.
The Battle of Britain ended after the British won it (without American help).
In fact, the failure of Germany to achieve its objectives of destroying Britain's air defences, or forcing Britain to negotiate an armistice or an outright surrender, is considered its first major defeat and a crucial turning point in the Second World War
So Britain inflicted Nazi Germany's first major defeat, and did so when fighting Nazi Germany on her own.
The Soviets and the British.
No British victory in the Battle of Britain = No D-Day Landing in 1944.
There was nothing foolish in it.
Not only did Britain have to declare war on Germany after it invaded Poland to honour the treaty that stated that either Britain or Poland would go to the other's aid should either get invaded by Germany, but not declaring war on germany would have meant doing what America did for a few years - appeasing the tyranny of Naziism.
No Britain declaring war on Germany in 1939 = Europeans now all speaking German and all having blond hair and blue eyes in the Thousand Year German Reich.
