Russia would have lost the war if America did not join, nor give economic aid to the allies.
The UK to would have lost to (without American aid, like supplies and later troops, they would have eventually been defeated, most likely through starvation)
Russia was powerful, but without the help of her allies, she would have been defeated. Remember....the Axis wasn't just the Germans.
And the US would have lost if either the USSR or UK wasn't involved.
Serriously, don't let the whole "we won the war" thing get to your head, you didn't.
Not picking on ^you^, just telling any Americans who may go down that path.
I agree but only because Germany probably would have had the atomic bomb before the Americans or anyone else.Actually, German scientists hid any and all work from Hitler, and lied about the progress they made insisting what he ask of them isn't yet possible in science. They didn't want Hitler to have the bomb either. They made almost no progress for Hitler and the bomb in the several years it took the German scientist who fled with the plans for the working nuclear reaction to the UK, and then the US, until development.
It was a very odd thing to discover. Keep in mind one of the first things US and Allied troops shot for sweeping through France was the Scientists. They had all the German's technological advancements for the future, medical study, etc. Most of what we know now as medicine derived from that insane German scientist experimenting so inhumanely on Jewish, Gypsies, Handicapped, etc., prisoners of war or detainees.
It must have been an odd thing to see though, collecting scientists to find that the nation who's scientist helped develop the Atomic Bomb was so many years behind the enemy nation that actually finished it.
