Everyone should fucking be Thanking America.
We not only came over and kicked some serious ass, but then we bailed out all of the countries from their depression, and built up their economies. We played 90% of the role in saving the world. Thank god Japan bombed us.
Not saying that you guys couldn't have done it on your own, but we definitely sped things up.
First, the Depression in Continental Europe was much longer, harsher, and more devastating than in the United States. Think about everything that FDR had to do to get us out of an economic slump. Now double it. Now triple that number. That's what Germans had to look forward to in the Weimar Republic. There currency was shit. They couldn't afford to plant the grain to make the bread to feed themselves. Wheelbarrows of banknotes. And who solved Germany's problems? Hitler.
Hitler built the infrastructure, he built the industry (modern car makers are led by former axis powers, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Ferrari, etc) he rearmed, he united 40% of his nation behind him - a mere plurality, and gained ultimate dictatorial powers. Hitler solved their problems, and then gambled them away by invading other 'weaker' nations. He put so much money into modernizing the military that he had no other option than to use it for economic gain or face bankruptcy. He looted not only Jewish business and culture, but gypsy culture, and other 'inferior' races simply because he had the tanks soldiers and planes to do it. Think about the vast reserves of gold and valuables that an entire culture or ethnicity collects. Now imagine that coming into government hands. The Nazis got rich as fuck.
90% of saving the world? Well I'd say Bletchley Park played a larger role than US, and that was only scientists and mathematicians. So fuck you, you're making numbers up.
Oh well. What can you do?
HEIL BIEBER!!
You've got charisma the Fuhrer never had.
This is all propaganda to sway you, sheep. Do not believe the lies they spread about our Leader Beiber.
For the androgynous young people!
Germany was going to overthrow a country thousands of miles away from him? So he was just going to ship his troops over to america, and take on a country bigger then him? England failed at doing that. Your a fucking moron if you actually believe that Hitler would have taken on the US and beat us.
I -have- been giving credit this entire time to other countries for their help, and you continue to give no credit to America for what they did. This is what I hate.
Do you know what siege tatics are? Our Navy had completely defeated the Japanese navy. Our troops had taken back every country that Japan had invaded. All that was left was their homeland. Could we have invaded? Yes. Could we have won? Yes. Would he have lost millions of soldiers? Yes. America wasn't retarded. We would have simply bombed the shit out of them until the gave up. There was no need to invade the country, as it could be won from the sea. We had plans, and we had ships just waiting to destroy their country. We could have kept bombing them for years. We chose a much more beneficial ending for Japan. They lost two cities, but thousands of lives were saved. Even then, we regret using them, and have never used it again in war (Even though it was asked for, several times, in Korea and Vietnam).
Hitler ruined the economy... Your a moron. His blitzkrieg tatics left hundreds of countries in ruins with no resources left. America spent over a trillion dollars re-building those countries. We helped create the goods, and purchased the goods back, to help grow the economy. America as a country didn't fucking profit from the war.. Look at our national debt. Corrupt Business men from all countries profited from it. America went into debt to save Europe. How many fucking times have I given credit to other countries for helping us? Every time. Great Britain was an asset in our fight against Germany. But -nothing- started until we joined the war. Hitler was undefeated and taking countries at an rapid rate. Then we joined the war, and everything changed. Stop ignoring that fact.
Well, the Germans never wanted a war with us. I mean, they were pissed we were shipping supplies all over the place, especially to their enemies, but you can't hate a country because they won't trade with you. No, it was Japan that had territorial ambitions in the western hemisphere. They wanted South American resources, and wouldn't have minded controlling the entire Pacific Rim.
Do you know what siege tactics are? Consider the Battle of Britain, or the Battle of Stalingrad. There were troop losses in the Eastern Front that dwarfed the entire US death count. Consider: "The Eastern Front was arguably the single most decisive component of World War II, eventually serving as the main reason for Germany's defeat" (Bellamy, from wikipedia) You over estimate how much of the war was due to American military. We remained virtually untouched civilian-wise, so it was our obligation to enrich Europe via the Marshall plan.
As far as blitzkrieg ruining the countryside, you over exaggerate again. The defining feature of blitzkrieg was lightning precision and speed. Instead of pounding away at fortified defenses for ages, outmaneuver and reposition for better field advantage. Ever heard of the Maginot line? Any frenchman could tell you.
