It was good that weak Roosevelt died . He was handing over Japan's largest Island Hokkaido to Stalin. Truman backed out of the agreement when he found out about it. Do not let a sick old man negotiate with Stalin.

Why? Germany did there best to beat Britain during the "Battle of Britain" but failed. During the Battle of Britain. Russia was basically allied with Germany and supplying them with raw resources. A "Battle of Britain part 2" was not going to do any better. Britain was producing more fighter planes at the end of the Battle of Britain. A one on one Britain and Germany would have been one long stalemate. Neither could invade the other.

The worst one for me is when I hear , "The Germans were going to take over the world". How was a country with only 70 million people going to take over the world? The US alone had twice Germany's population and 4 times their manufacturing capacity.

@solisprime2669 We would of had a North South Japan if FDR did not die and Truman did not step in. North , South Vietnam and Korea was bad enough.

@solisprime2669 Sorry I should have said weak at the time (1945) . He was not weak during most of the war but at the ending he was. You Just do not hand half of Japan over to Stalin who is a new arrival. Especially after you fought Japan for 3 years and sunk its navy and merchant fleet and have if blockaded by sea and air and on its knees ,just because your tired of war.

At the end with Japan he was not so good. He was handing over Japan's largest Island Hokkaido to Stalin. Truman took over and backed out of the agreement when he found out about it. You Just do not hand half of Japan over to Stalin who is a new arrival. Especially after you fought Japan for 3 years on your own and sunk its navy and merchant fleet and have if blockaded by sea and air and on its knees . A South North Vietnam and Korea was bad enough ,imagine FDR's North South Japan deal.

The wife of King George. Odd that the King's spouse gets the title of "Queen" but a Queen's spouse does not get the title of "King".

How,Why?

Profit? Britain was bankrupt and lost its empire after the war ,they did their last war debt payment in 2006. Germany ,Japan ,Poland ,and Russia were in rubble after the war. Only the US ,Canada and Australia were better off after the war then they were before the war. At Least it ended the Great Depression.

He called Japan and said "why not attack the US?" Japan then said "OK if you say so."

The allies did not hand over eastern Europe to Stalin. Stalin rolled over it with 6 million soldiers on his way to Berlin and just made a new western Russian border. Nobody was in the mood for another long war with Russia. Especially the American people who still had Japan going on.
