I'd have to say you are dead wrong and I'm not saying it because I'm an arrogant American. American industry supplied the most equipment out of any country in the war. American manpower supplied most of the manpower in both theaters.
Take those three equations out of the problem and you would be speaking German or Japanese. Thats a fact or please prove me wrong.
Without America the invasion of europe would never of happened.
Without America and the Liberty ships England would have starved. |
Did you read the rest of what I wrote...I posted my respect on this thread...I have argued for the importance of American involvment (even with Russians who are rightfully on about thire huge sacrifices) and criticised the European attitude and obsession with the US too. Everything your wrote is true, but the US would have paid a much higher price without the time bought by the Brits, or blood spilled by the Russians (or Chinese, most IJA troops were in China), and I do in general like the States and it's influence in the past.
