As for who won the second world war, the answer is simple: the allies. the US wouldn't have won it on their own, the Russian's either. Both of them were important in securing the victory, but they wouldn't even have won it without the help of many countries and it's people that are never mentioned. Britain fought important battles in north africa and the air before the US even got involved, the resistance in the occupied country was important for intelligence and so on, It's called a world war for a reason. If anyone won the war for the allies, it was Hitler, because of many stupid important mistakes he made: -attacked Russia before Britain was conquered and north africa secured, leaving a front open in the west and south and a place from were the US in the future could sent troops from to Europe. He could have easily waited for some years, because he had made a peace agreement with Stalin after Poland, and Stalin was keeping to it. It is said that Stalin was very suprised that Hitler broke this agreement. - Pushing to fast against Russia with unprepared troops and supplies in Russian territory on a too wide front while splitting up his forces to much. Effectively making the exact same mistake as Napoleon. - Declaring war on the US hoping that Japan would in return help him against Russia without any garanty. This was an absolute gamble that most likely has cost him the war. The japanese never opened a ront in the east against Russia, they even left the border with Russia quite undefended to focus there troops against US forces. It was because they had no real force in the north against Russia that they surrendered after the Russian invasion of Manchuria in 1945. (p.s. Their political leader alreasy wanted to surrender as of 1943, but could never come to an agreement with the allies over the demands of surrender. Also the top of the millitary were trying not in agreement.)These are just a few giant mistakes that Hitler made, and without these mistakes Germany would have had the best chance to win the war in Europe and Russia.
