Subject: Do you think the USA could have won WWII on its own?

Use your head. The one on your shoulders. No really, just try. Please?

If the United States were able to play on the xenopobia of Germany or Japan, they easily could have sparked yet another conflict if Germany somehow managed to beat Russia. Too many paranoid angles of 'oh we can't let them attack us like they attacked Russia/we can't let them hit us just as we shift focus to USA' for allied intelligence to play off of.

Than why didn't they?

Hitler was an idiot. And they allied with Italy which did more harm to them than good, they would have been better off without them.

It could have easily defeated the Japanese on its own (as it pretty much did anyway), but without the UK and Russia, gaining a foothold on Europe would have been all but impossible. Germany probably would've ended up with nukes and it would just become an alternate Cold War.

There is one slight issue, the rest of the world would have won with or without America. Never mind Russia who could have beaten the Germans by themselves. So yeah.

Hell no.

Plus I don't think it would have been called a world war if it was us versus the axis.

Italy wasn't Germany's problem. Hitler was. Hitler was the biggest problem the Germans had.

Bungie doesn't like French on their site.

We would put up one hell of a fight; but I don't think any one nation could taken on so many nations by itself. Not even 1940's United States.

Nope. Russia in 1943 and '44 destroyed some of Germany's most elite SS divisions. If they were diverted to Normandy, the addition of 4 SS tank divisions would have undoubtably stopped the Normandy invasion.

Italy actually did pose a problem for Germany.

Since Italy couldn't handle North Africa Germany was forced to divert panzers and men in the form of the afrika corp which took away resources from Barbarossa, forces that could have possibly made a huge difference in 1941, also in helping them with Greece it spread there forces out even more.

Also even though the Germans battered the Allies up the Italian peninsula with only a few divisions it still detracted from there overall strength on eastern and western front by then.

We would? You actually think Germany could have crossed the Atlantic and successfully invaded America?

Same thing if you took out the Americans from WWII for GB and Russia (mostly Russia)

America gave Russia a city that Russia invaded and occupied?

Their armies were ordered to NOT march on Berlin so the Russian came have it, it is basically the same thing in a nutshell as giving them the city.

Where to begin.

The french were a big help for britain lending them time to prepare for the german onslaught that was to come.

Australia was holding back then pushing the japs back at papua new guinea.

All the while Britain, french, Australian and new zealand forces were driving romel out of north africa and completely destroying italian forces.

Russia was holding back german blitzkreig then pushing germany back.

All the while america wasn't even in the war at that time.
Took 3 years for america to even get into the war.

So as I said so much fail in that post.

Defeated Japan AND Germany at the same time? Probably not. After they build the atom bomb, though, of course.

Even the atom bomb was a team effort though.


The atomic bomb was of German design, you know that right?
