No offense, but that statement very debatable (most historians would disagree with you completely).
America's entrance into the European theater of WWII was most significant (and some argue only significant) reason the tides turned against the Germans (allowing the allied forces to win the war). |
Oh really? Here's a quote from the history book I own about World War II:
| quote: |
Between 1941 and 1943, the Wehrmacht destroyed almost a third of 570 Soviet rifle divisions. The Red Army finally destroyed, disabled or captured 607 Axis divisions, at great cost to itself in men and machines: 96,500 tanks, 106,400 aircraft and 317,000 guns. Anglo-American armies fighting in North Africa, Italy and Western Europe destroyed 176 enemy divisions [including Italian]

American and British entrance in the war is late and ridiculous. You know why they entered so late? Because they didnt want the Soviet Union to "liberate" the entire Europe because it will be communist. When Stalin asked Roosevelt and Churchill in Tehran in 1942 to enter the war, western "allies" cited a lack of preparedness to enter the war. In 1944 when Soviets armies were well on their way to catch up with retreating German armies, FINALLY allies landed, fighting SCARSE German resistance.
You check it out yourself. You'll find this information to be true.
I am actually anti-communist and I hated the Soviets because they in the end ruined my motherland. Communists were terrorists (yes, they were when they assassinated Alexander II in 1881 by using a bomb in a terrorist attack) who killed millions of people and Stalin himself was as worse as Hitler, and both looked up to each other as great adversaries.
I am hoping Russia will regain its pre-1914 greatness and another great leader like Alexander II can come by and make Russia great. love my Russia.
