Maybe the UK won it by the skin of its teeth. But not the US. Once we made the A-bomb, everything else after that was academic.

Perhaps, perhaps not. Even former PM Thatcher admits that the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor was the major turning point of the war.

Right. More importantly, by 1944, production of warplanes, warships, tanks, and other weapons of war was so high, there is no way the Japanese and Germans could have matched US production ALONE over the long haul.

I know this question was directed at Deegan but I would like to answer as well,
One reason that comes to mind is we support and help defend Israel and the world does not like this so they rebel against the U.S.
I do not know how true this is, the world not liking that we support Isreal...
If this is true, then I have a low opinion of the world !
We are not the only ones with skinheads and rednecks..
I have not seen seen this poll, nor do I think most polls have any value, judging from what I have seen here...
So much depends on the questions and the quality of people being polled ..

Hitler socialist ? Hitler elected ?
Do you also think the world is flat ?
National socialism was different to socialism.
He was not elected......... "In November 1932 elections the Nazis again failed to get a majority of seats in the Reichstag. Their share of the vote fell – from 230 seats to only 196. Hitler contemplated suicide. But then he was rescued by Hindenburg.
Franz von Papen (a friend of Hindenburg) was Chancellor, but he could not get enough support in the Reichstag. Hindenburg and von Papen were having to govern by emergency decree under Article 48 of the Constitution. They offered Hitler the post of vice-Chancellor if he promised to support them.
Hitler refused – he demanded to be made Chancellor. So Von Papen and Hindenburg took a risk. On 30 January 1933 Hindenburg made Hitler Chancellor. He thought he could control Hitler – how wrong he was.
In the end, Hitler did not TAKE power at all – he was given it."


The lesser of two evils according to you is the one who's thugs murdered 8,000 & tortured many more, compared to the elected man that kills no one. You are completely stark raving mad. You're nuttier than a bag of walnuts.

Allende didn't recieve the majority either he was appointed just as Hitler was and you're confusing the Presidency with the Chancellorship. The Nazi party was the dominant party in the German Parliament though not a full majority due to the fact that it was not a two party system.

The turning point in the Pacific theatre was the Battle of Midway.
The turning point in the European theatre was the Battle of Stalingrad.

It was fate that brought down Hitler, not military supremcy.

If Britain had not invaded to repell the Italians, causing the Nazis to invade - postpoing their invasion of the USSR by a vital two weeks. Moscow would have taken the USSR would have crumbled.
If USSR sought peace or surrendered, the whole of the Nazi war machine would be on the Normandy coast waiting for us.
Britain and the USSR needed your war productivity and manpower. But to say USA won this war on their own would be misguided and false.

I often wonder if Hitler had never declared war on you guys, would you have gone to war with Nazi Germany?

How can the UK win by the skin of its teeth and not America? We were allies. FYI British scientists helped the US build the bomb.

Well said. Trust me whan I say that you are the type of American that the world thinks favourably. I can't say it's the same for some others here. It's unfortunate that they give you a bad name.

Let me just add that Canadians played an important role in WWII, back when we had a military.

PM Thatcher disagrees with you.

On the battlefield, you are right. Those were the PHYSICAL TURNING points. However, once the US was committed to marshalling all of its resources to winning the war, the outcome was a foregone conclusion. It WAS the surpremacy of US production that won the war and no amount of revisionism will change that.

You are telling me that on December of 1941, WW2 was a forgone conclusion. Is that what you are telling me??

So If you had lost the battle of Midway, you would have still won the war. If Russia had surrendered at Stalindgrad, you would have still won the war? The full force of greatest efficient armies the world has ever seen - the Nazis lined up on the French coast, battle hardened and battle experienced troops waiting for an allied invasion.
And yet with what really happened of D-Day we almost mucked it up. Only the Canadians got their traget objectives. American paratroopers were scattered everywhere. And we were facing less than half of the Nazi army.

The outcome of WW2 was anything but a forgone conclusion on Dec 1941.

Damn right I disagree with the old bat! :mrgreen:

What he's saying is once the U.S. entered the war the Nazis and Japanese were done for because neither of them could compete with the U.S. production capacity, it wasn't battles that won WW2, it was us out producing the Germans and the Japanese that did it. Of course tactics played an intricate roll but all things being equal he with the most guns wins.
 
You people don't remember the awakening of the sleeping giant? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

LOL.

No it's gotta be the Germans. After all, GySgt is perfect and knows everything. So, in conclusion, the Germans bomber Pearl Harbour because sarge said so. :mrgreen:

Good thing then I'm not trying to be likable here.
Why do you assume I live in a backwater?
Then tell me where you live and I'll come up with a more applicable insult. Hey, I'm from NY and live in Tampa. If you can't get milage out of that go read some of my smack lectures. Or are you one of those "this place should be serious" guys?

But were the ones, and still the only ones, to have ever used a WMD (of the nuclear variety) in combat. And we would have dropped more if it wasn't for VE and VJ days.

LOL. I jumped at the stupid statement. I didn't realize it was a joke until you made mention of it. It's been eons since I seen Animal House.

Funny how you point me out but not Traj, who made the same assumption. It's not cause you're partisan now, is it? Or did you want to get back at me for making you look like a fool? :2wave:

YES! US productive capacity won the war.

So If you had lost the battle of Midway, you would have still won the war.

Yes. We were replacing our warships at a far faster pace than the Japanese were.

If Russia had surrendered at Stalindgrad, you would have still won the war? The full force of greatest efficient armies the world has ever seen - the Nazis lined up on the French coast, battle hardened and battle experienced troops waiting for an allied invasion.

Yes, we would have. It would have taken longer, but we would have won. Superior productive capacity and resolve along with the fact that the AMerican people were determined to protect their democracy. Could you say the German people would have held similar determination over the long term?

Damn right I disagree with the old bat! :mrgreen:

Dislike of America increases Worldwide

Doesn't surprise me really, i used to just think it was the American politicians that were ignorant white supremecist neo conservative terrorists and not worthy of the air we breath, i have however decided to turn that into a blatant dislike of everything American, the shitty sitcoms that i get in the UK everyday. ER ****, Friends ****!, Medium ****, The West Wing ****, The OC ****, One tree Hill ****, the crappy hollywood movies that infest the cinemas of my country with their big explosions and guns, pyrotechnic displays and sheer unimagination, the outragously crappy music that travels through the mainstream into Britain, gawd, i dunno what they spray the fields with over there but Jessica Simpson???? Please kill this whore of satan! and Britney MKUltra Spears, encouraging the next generations of sluts to hit me baby one more time, oh and is there any more blatant brainwashing than the gansta rap scene imported worldwide from America, shoot niggaz hustle crack and smack bitches, if you want 50's riches, man 50 cent what an uniteresting heathen, why don't these americans learn to speak before they make music for the kids in my country!

If thats all the land of the free has to offer then give me oppression any day of the week!

The reason Europe is approved of worldwide IMO is the sheer diversity of culture it incorporates, Europe truly is the land of the free, a place where anyone may feel free to go about their business without worrying about the apocolyptic fantasies of a megalomaniac, warmongering cretin in charge.

But Britain, hmm britain and America being such close allies would lead me to conclude that Europe is more important to the world without the inclusion of Britain all the while Tony Blairs government's foreign policy is dictated by the states, i would like to see Britain sever all ties with the United Masonic States and along with the rest of Europe set up a strong base of opposition to American Globalisation, offer the world a more understanding and ethnically diverse superpower, one which will not stand for the American funded genocide we have seen ever since the outcome of world war two, a group of countries united in their morals and interests for the people of europe, instead of the businesses of America and Britain, but until the Anglo-American sphere is punctured i fear Europe will just become more and more useless without the inclusion of a pro european Britain.

What a gigantic temper tantrum that was, with it's envy filled rhetoric, and reeking of the jealousy over our obvious domination of everything from television, to films, to music, and of course the internet, and that's only to address your initial whining. Then topped off with the arrogance that only a snaggle toothed, liberal Brit could manage, good show.:rofl
 
:doh that coming from the guy who's country brought us such luminary figures as George W Bush, Jay Leno, Justin Timberlake and Carrot Top.


Yes Carrot Top.

That old american tradition of being a twat and having people laugh at you.

Thankyou America for being so utterly ridiculous!;)

This coming from a region which brought the world colonialism, the holocaust, Fascism, Communism, two world wars, and that's just the 20th century.
