That statement is factualy wrong.
America got involved later than anyone else. they remained neutral till the Japanese dumped on Pearl harbour.
They only agreed to help on a loan /lease agreement that was beneficial for America and nobody else. (The jet technology that Britain "gave" to America was part of the payoff).
The Japanese were fighting a lot more than just the US forces and India alone would have been a major problem not to mention the Russians enormous army.
Russia used a scorched earth policy to defeat the advancing Nazi forces , the Germans would march for days through freezing conditions in the belief that there would be a battle at the end of it. The Russians wanted none of it and simply withdrew and destroyed anything that could be of use to the Germans leaving the poor Nazis to freeze thier little arses off.

The truth of the matter is that Hitler could not mantain such a widespread offensive even with the aid of Japan who had thier hands full in Malaysia and the East Indies. Hitler and the Nazis and the Japanese really bit off a lot more than they could realisticaly chew.


I have broken my own rules by replying to an opinion and have no intention of doing it again so if you wish to discuss this matter further then may I suggest a "America saved Europe" thread where I will be more than happy to get into a serious debate instead of simply making statements with no backing like "America saved Europe".

Unpopular Opinions I think this thread may get a little sticky but in the interests of my curiosity and general public knowledge I feel I have to post a couple of things here and see what you guys think may be you're own unpopular opinions. I believe: All religion should be viewed as a form of insanity. I have no sympathy for smackheads, , famous smackheads are the worst sort of pathetic. The Movie "Rocky" was a pile of sh*te "Jaws" was not in the least bit scary. "Natural Born Killers" is a bigger pile Rating: 5
