Who do you think won world war 2 and why?
Trevor said:The allies as a whole. You can't say that there was one country that won WWII. Each played their part.
Not the question you asked of course, but I understand what you are saying. I'll have to respond, but I'm too busy at the moment.That point could be disproved. Did germany have that much power by 1944? when the "Glorious D-Day landing" happen did germany even try to put up a fight? Most of the army was deployed in the east and was crushed

Tell that to the thousands of allied soldiers who lost their lives During D-day and beyond. The fact it took 10 months from D-Day until VE day shows Germany had bit of fight lef tin her.

Give credit where credit is due -- the USSR turned the tide on the Eastern Front mostly going it alone. The USA and UK bombed a lot and most of that bombing campaign was sold to their citizens as being a helluva lot more effective than it actually was. The USSR pushed the Germans back with a terrible price in blood, resources and devastation to their nation.
Shadowalker said:I think that it has to be the US, USSR and the UK gave the most to the war, in the early years 1939-1940/41 the Uk gave the most almost single handadly fighting the war, but after that the US and USSR took over the war effort. The US gave the most fighting in 3 war zones and financing the war for many countries, but the USSR gave the most in manpower/casualties.
This question, I already answered. Victory in Europe was achieved primarily by the blood and suffering of the Soviet Union. The USA and the UK were significant contributors in diverting a substantial portion of the German industry and manpower. It certain took some pressure off when the Western Powers managed to create additional fronts in Italy and France, but 70% of German forces and all their best remained on the Ostfront trying to stop the Russian advance. The USA and UK also threw as much help to the Soviets as possible but most of the USSR's success was self created. I very much doubt they'd have done it alone, but they were, by far, the greatest contributor to victory.drilldownmaster2004 said:I agree that looking at economies Japan Germany USA and USSR all won but who do you think contributed the most to the war?
