I disagree with you completely.
The US had a major role and the allies could not have done without the US but the US could seriously not have done it without the rest of the Allies and namely England and Russia.
Now having said that, first I fixed your poll to make it correct so that it does not only reflect your personal agenda here...
Also this thread will stay open only as long as everyone can stay civilized in it.
One question here. Didn't Japan plan a attack on the US before the war? I might be completely off the track here.... If I am please do correct me.
I assume that, in this scenario, the British Empire is still brought under threat by Japan in the CBI theatre - but they do not attack the U.S - highly unlikely.
In Europe, without U.S intervention, Britain had held Germany at the Channel and had pushed Italy out of Eygpt. The Soviet Union had pushed Germany away from Moscow; and held them at a stalemate for the time being. Germany had no way of reaching across the Channel, and the airwar was moving in British favour from 1941 onwards - before U.S entry into it.
Britain would have to adapt quicker, but the facts all remain that Germany had no chance of taking Britain. The RAF was raiding Axis Europe by day and night before the famed "Mighty 8th" came on the scene. It wasn't all Britain; as we had our entire Empire to fall back on - which kept up supplies of man and machine all through the war.
The war would have been harder won, but it's obvious that Germany would have not had total victory. Obvious to anyone with a brain.
Okey dokey....The events of the Pacific are inapplicable here.
BINGO!The war would have been harder won, but it's obvious that Germany would have not had total victory. Obvious to anyone with a brain.
Without the US, Europe would have remained under German control. And if it was the Russians who ultimatly beat the Germans, then it was going to be
T-34 tanks on the Channel, and not the BA in Berlin.
The US entry into the war in Europe guarenteed that the allies would win. Therefore America gets credit for saving the butt's of the European people.
I highly doubt that. The war would have lasted longer of course, but the russians had a lot of land to retreat to. They would simply hold on until the German Army had eneventibly exhausted themselves in the cold russian winter.If the US did not enter into the war in Europe, these things we can be sure of:
3) Without extensive aid to the Russians, the Red Army could have collapsed at several times in 1942 and 1943.
Hmm, I still think the Germans eventually lost because lack of leadership and understanding of tactics in longterm warfare.7) Its no exaggeration to say the German army was generally superior in nearly all catagories to the BA in weapons, tactics and leadership.
The Russians were allied too at that momentEnd result:
Without the US in the war, Germany would have won or the Russians ultimatly would have prevailed. With the US in the war, Allied victory was guarenteed.
The events of the Pacific are inapplicable here.
