I hate to make this seem like a chatroom with my response, but I figured what the hell.
Anyway, the United States of America did not participate in World War II until after Pearl Harbor in the near-end of 1941. By 1942, the United States of America had been involved in absolute full-blown war, along with the UK, France, the Soviet Union, Italy, Imperial Japan, and Nazi Germany.
HOWEVER, it is a fact that America had wanted to seclude itself from World War II. After World War I, America did not want to participate in anymore international wars. However, after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, America had to drag itself with all its military-industrial power.
America got roughly 3 years of battle in during WWII, from '42-'45. On June 6th, 1944, in cooperation with the UK and other willing allies, America launched Operation Overlord (aka : D-Day), in an ultra-daring attempt to reclaim France, ultimately to reclaim Europe from facist & nazi grip.
Then, in the middle of 1945, America began top-secret experimentation via a letter from a man named Albert Einstein, concerning a way to "split the atom". This was called The Manhattan Project, and it was the experimentation of a revolutionary new bomb, called an "atomic bomb" (sidenote : the atomic bomb was originally planned out by Axis powers like Germany and Japan). After August 6th and 9th of the same year, a new age was born.....
World War II ended on September 2nd of 1945 when Japan, the last enemy, surrendered.
After World War II, it was realized worldwide that the United States of America was clearly the world's most powerful nation, although along with the Soviet Union (these two would rival one-another during the Cold War, which would occur next year). It was also realized that the originally-fledgling nation of the United States of America had a major purpose, which would be to assume major leadership of the world (not absolute leadership, nor even rulership, given America's purpose and beliefs.....today, America believes that the world belongs to everyone).
Although America only got roughly 3 years of fighting in during WWII, America was said to do most of the work.

Regardless of what that idiot "Stalin" said at the bottom of the page, BOTH of the turning-point battles of World War Two in which the Axis Powers officially went on the defensive were fought AND WON almost entirely if not entirely by the Americans - The Battle of Midway, in which the Japanese Navy was defeated, and the Battle of the Bulge, in which the German Panzer Corps was defeated and the German Army exhausted.
Note - ALMOST THE ENTIRE WAR AGAINST JAPAN WAS FOUGHT BY THE AMERICAN NAVY!!!! If not for America, World War Three would have been fought between the Empire of Japan and the Empire of Nazi Germany for world dominance.

You can take the boy out of the war, but you can't take the war out of the boy.
In PTSD symptoms you see that you can take the boy out of the war but you can't take the war out of the boy.
Actually, Germany didn't declare war on anyone, the US as last. Hitler's aim was to expand towards the east and not to wage war on any western country. The one that declared war on Germany was the UK. (Which had some more reasons, compare: balance of powers, arms race - and don't look it up here.)
In my opinion, France can be considered the country with the greatest losses out of WW2. This whole section is nothing more than telling others your opinion.
Use history books for info about WWII - not google!

American: "If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German."
The truth: The Americans didn't even join the war until 1944. They didn't hardly do anything at all. The only thing they did was drop an Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagaski, Japan. And unlike you, Britain was in the ALL of the war. And you didn't finish the war. It was us and the Africans.
American view of World War II-
Some American idiot is probably going to Recommend this for Deletion and say that it's inaccurate because they are stupid useless Tossers that take all the credit for something they didn't do.
