The war is finally over! WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[ZeUs!!]

The US waited as long as possible before joining the war so they could get the best possible deal from the British, ie tax cuts, grants, trade agreements and whatever else we gave you. Not that I'm bitter about one country bribing another to stop soldiers and civilians getting killed

So, Pearl Harbor was just a ruse?

For kicking off war with Japan? No

Oh and yes.

*The figures for these countries were very different in the three sources
** The military deaths for Spain, a neutral country during the war, are attributed to volunteers in the Axis (4500) and Allied (7500) armies. According to source 2, above, 10,000 Spaniards died in concentration camps. These figures may be very inaccurate and may be reviewed later.

*** This table does not take into account the 3 million Indians who died due to famine in 1943.

I don't wanna explain isolationism, but FDR was all for war, the American people weren't. And in our democratic country you don't do something the people don't want, or else they will replace you with someone who will do what they want.

But yeah, it was all a conspiracy to make sure Britain lost as many people as possible.

IRAQ

Not that I'm 100% against the Iraqi war, about 50/50 (my fence is padded), but WWII wasn't fought in England so more French/Dutch/Belgians and Northern Africans died than English civilians

glad to see squeezer is still a retard after all these months

[ZeUs!!]

And don't worry I understand isolationism, not that the word explains itself anyway

[scumbag]

didnt the Japs attack the US at Pearl Harbour because of competition over oil in the Pacific?

btw if you really think about it the Japanese saved Europe, by attacking the americans and bringing them in to the war, good call Hirohoto :P
