@raptor2792 I never claimed America won WWII singlehandedly, but the USA deserves a fat chunk of the credit. The USA and the USSR were the biggest players in the Allies. Manchuria would not have been freed from Japan without the USSR and eastern Europe was liberated from Nazi Germany by the USSR. North Africa, East Africa, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Burma, Papua New Guinea and the Battle of the Atlantic are all hard fought victories that the UK, Canada and Australia deserve credit for. But the USA is what made the liberation of mainland Western Europe possible. US men, vehicles and materials did that, as well as all the vehicles and material that reached the USSR through Murmansk, Vladivostok and Iran. Not to mention the thousands of American airmen that died above Europe flying daylight raids so they could accurately hit industrial centers. The British were too afraid to fly during daytime and instead they flew at night, indiscriminately bombing civilian population centers. The Americans were also bombing Axis oilfields at Polesti, Romania.
Europeans try to take all that away, constantly. To the point of saying the USA was pointless in the war and that Americans should've joined sooner
