British Dominance? Okay, I'll go back 200 years. Who FORCED Japan to open up trading ports? Who was the first to abolish slavery? Who was able to rival the British Navy 200 years ago? What country had all the inventors? Which country gave more leverage to workers? Which country was able to mass produce and manufacture?

Here's a hint: Not Britain.

Posted by: Android Spartan
You did that from 1912 to now?

No you did that during WW2 until now, British Dominance only ended in 1945 so that's not 100 years of American supremacy.
1. We didn't open up Japan, then again we where allies.

2. Portugal abolished slavery 1st

3. Germany was the 1st to Rival the Royal Navy.

4. All the inventors? Nobody they all had their fair share.

5. No idea what you mean by more leverage to workers.

6. Who gave you that capability?

IF you think America rivaled Britain 200 years ago you need to go and read a history book. You didn't have 50 states until the 1900's just before WW1.

Pure Insanity
The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.

Nope.
1912 was when you had 48 then you got Hawaii and Alaska in the 60's.

1. The U.S. forced Japan to trade with them. Before that, only the Dutch and the Chinese could.
2. Actually the first nation to do so was Persia, we're both wrong.
3. Actually the Germans only threw the Royal Navy off guard. Britain stayed on top until The War of 1812.
4. Most major inventions came from the U.S. Electricity, Light bulb, Steam Engine, Automobile.
5. Workers Unions and Government backing up of said Unions.
6. The workers of #5 before the industrial revolution.

The guy thinks America rivaled Britain 200 years ago, I said you didn't have 50 states until the 1900's so you couldn't compete 200 years ago.

1959 wasn't "just before WW1" though

Why wouldn't I be? If it weren't for us you would be a German.
I love that argument. It works both ways. Do you really think you would win against the axis without the UK? At one point it was pretty much the only country left that was resisting the Axis.And if we lost it would be Europe+Japan v America. But you cheated and used two nukes on the Japanese civilians so...

1. You said we didn't have 50 states until right before WWI.

2. Again, 50 states=Rival Britain? What?

You're a mod, you should be used to that.

Wow, this is amusing. Android, work on your grammar and quit being a troll. It's all fun and games until you actually appear to have a hard-on for living in the past. While we're at it I guess I'll throw it out there, my Germanic tribe was the most BA tribe ever, so take that America! < Yeah, that's what you sound like.

So you didn't really win it then. You just developed a nuke the fastest. With help from the UK and Canada of course

Royal Navy stayed on top until 1812....Are you serious??

No nation on earth could compete with the Royal Navy until 1914, hence Pax Britannia where Britain was uncontested for 100 years.

Actually most Major inventions came from the UK, we have a much longer list also we where at the forfront of Science and mathematics even discovering the Atom. I can't be bothered to list them since there is so much, industrial revolution is the main example.

Also so what you opened up Japan, Portugal and the British forced open China which is a bigger feat.

Because you like to boast that you won the war heroically. When in reality you just incinerated hundreds of thousands of civilians. Not to mention you had help developing the nuke from Canada and the UK

Heroically? I've never heard anyone say that, and it is quite irrelevant. It doesn't matter how we beat them, it doesn't matter what tactics we used, it is all irrelevant when you are discussing if we actually defeated them or not.

I'm just using that to counter the "you would all be speaking German if it wasn't for us" It works both ways and it was a combined effort. No single country would be able to beat the Axis by itself

The US never had to join the war.

Just wondering, if the US never joined the fighting, do you honestly think it would of ended the same way?
