Who really won WWII?

Ok I am wondering who really won WWII? Was it the Russins or was it the Briten? Also Canada was with them. We become our own country later one the BNA act. Or was it the USA? Who really won the war aginest Hitler's Eourpe? This is also I little bet me and my friend are having I said Briten but he says the Russins can anyone end this bet with the truth?

Have you ever heard of the ?

Yes I know but who ended the war? You know the country that put more effort and such into the battles.

I'd say you and your friends read a history book or better 2 of them.

certainly NOT the Russians....

Whoa there man, slow down. Canada became a country LONG before WWII, And the "Good Guys" Brittan, US, etc. "Won" the war.

I know we became a Country long before but really we where still with the brits. Until 1985 I think we had to go to any war they went to. We even had a British flag during WWII that was even long before WWII also. Wasn't it sometime in the 60's we got the flag we have to day?

Well I know that the Allied forces included the USA, UK, and the Soviet Union, so I suppose that since Russia was in the Soviet Union that both Britian and Russia along with the USA and other countries helped win the war against hitler. So basically I think that you are both right.

Alright thankx for all your Answers. Mod can Lock this thread if they choose.

Dude, there are no winners in war.
It's hard to say whom contributed more, it open to interpretation. It also depends what they contributed, money, arms, etc.

Well I think it's safe to say the british own3d all in that war.

"the Russins", "the briten", "Eourpe", where are all these magical places I've never heard of?

Pay attention in history class. Knowledge is POWer and all that.

And you did the second time you tried to correct them. it's "Right" and "Spelled", too.

Europe
Russians
Britain

Ok my God I am having a really bad day too day .
I keep spelling words or using other words here on the forums today. Sorry for my mixed up posts fellow members.

No it's "spelt", remember

Everybody except the Russians won out in the end. And everyone fought just as hard, by the way. France surrendered, yeah, and people dissed them for it, but no one points out that the French Resistance was critical in the war, nor the fact that the French Resistance assassinated German officers left and right.

Britain, of course, had balls, was stubborn as hell, fought tooth and nail, and kicked Nazi ass all over the air. However, Germany would have overcome them had America not intervened. America is largely responsible for the trouncing of Nazi Germany. Of course, Hitler being a crazy f*ck helped. He made some serious mistakes near the end of the war.

If you want to get into technicalities, America won. It is solely because of WWII that we are so successful today. WWII created the demand for what we could produce, and it jump started us out of the great depression. We did use a large amount of the wealth to help rebuild (Western) Europe with the Marshall Plan, though, so don't think of us as a bunch of vampires.

Russia and the Eastern Bloc countries lost big time, though, because the Marshall Plan didn't apply to dirty-filthy-unamerican commies, and the equivalent plan that they worked out between each other pretty much failed at life.

I won World War II, and am now the undisputed king of the world.

Right. Forgot about that.

At one time I was a World War History Fan i did some good deal of reading.

Basing on the information I read, here is what I have to say:

The war reached an equilibrium when France and Norway was invaded.
If Hitler stopped there, maybe the war would go on till today.

But, his next moves caused his downfall. His continues but futile effort to invade Britain, caused heavy damage to his Airforce.
The second most severe mistake he made is to Enter North Africa at such an early stage.
The third and possibly his worst mistake was to invade Russia. This was his major downfall. The British actually admiited that the Russians took most out of the Nazis. USA only gave a good finishing. Russians were also the first to reach Berlin, thus giving them some upper hands in peace talks.

In conclusion, If few people kill a person and one finishes off by cutting off the throat, we can't ignore the efforts of the others who held the person down and gave some preleminary beating.
Sorry, the example is kind of louzy, but I could only think of this in short time.

We are also foregetting that Japan was a major force in WWII. It is only after "Nagasaki", can one claim that, Ok the war is over.

Of course, the major credit goes to USA for the battles in the East.

we can't ignore the efforts of the others who held the person down and gave some preleminary beating.

Ahem.

And again.

See there? I'm fair and impartial... to an extent.

And for history's sake, WW was the war that nobody won. It was a pretty pointless war that started because everyone was suspicious of everyone, and made treaties with everyone to fight off everyone, in case someone out of the everyone decided to try and screw them over. In other words, pure, unadulterated politics.

No it's "spelt", remember

I ought to say something here. Okay, I've thought of it.
Airfiggy has one thing right, there was a

Luke was the only winner in this war, as he's now king of the world.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about Russia/USSR until WW2 ended, but i'm quite sure they ended up badly (but as did all the countries involved)
However, historians have many different views, some more biased than others, but it is open to interpratation really.
It's generally accepted that we (Britain) would have struggled without the intervention of the USA, Russia (maybe) payed a lesser part, but it was still very important. The fact that the government was probably corrupt and not well structured probably didn't help.

I think the person that everyone should be most grateful to is Winston Churchill, even though you limies decided not to rel-elect him.

He was elected again a few years later though. He was also voted "Briton of the Century" or something like that. I like how he looks like some kind of mafia godfather.

The were several reasons why he wasn't elected for a sucessive term. The three most popular are;
He didn't campain well enough
People wanted a fresh start after the war i.e. a new government
The Labour party M.P's had performed well under the coalition gov, so people had more faith in them.
This is what we covered in a class a few weeks back.

Anyway, that guy is straight gangsta.

He was also heavily depressed, and when everyone was celebrating at the end of the war, and told everyone that there were still tough times ahead... which no one wanted to hear.

In case anyone is still unclear about the results of World War II from the aforementioned information, this very accurate "" should give you all the necessary answers you seek.

k?

What about Sweden? It's full blown grey

I'm sorry to say that Sweden Was neutral in World War 2. They decided not to become a part of it. As I've heard, they will do the same thing in case of a new war.

If you're asking for volunteers, I'd be up for the task ;D

One thing that always puzzles me is, can someone stay neutral if they want to. I mean, Hitler invaded Nederland and Belgium just to have an upper hand over France. So, why didn't he invade Sweden as well. He had the whole country surrounded.

My main point is, if some one attacks you, how can you stay neutral. Why didn't Hitler Choose to invade Sweden.

Since Sweden was neutral in the war, it was on the side of who ever that won. Hitler could march right across the country when he had the most POWer. If someone would try to immigrate to Sweden to hide, they would turn them over to Hitler. Where they would be put in prison or killed. Hitler had no reason to invade Sweden, they were no threat to him.

When I was at a the Old person center I was talking to this lady who helped out as crew in the UK during war time. She told me if Hitler would have not invaded Norway and went stright to the UK Islands he would have won this war. But since he did invade Norway he pretty much had time to get supplies and such. Is this true?

Well, I doubt that he would have won the entire war if he invaded the UK...He was actually stopped when he marched his troops to Moscow. There they were surrounded. Hitler killed himself and his girlfriend when he realized he was losing, end of story.
