I guess its true.. America didn't win WW2 for Europe. It was the French!

The British did their part, and fought quite effectively, even though they were out-classed militarily, and at a huge industrial and technological disadvantage. If it were not that Brittan is completley surrounded by water, it may not have lasted long enough for the US to get in the War.

Anyway... TRUTH BE TOLD, if it were not for America's young men, and the Industrial efforts of its people at home, the World would not exist as it does today. Germany would have continued to ROLL through Europe and eventually breake the USSR (who lost nearly 11mil to combat and 12mil civilions oe almost 14% of its population.) China also paid a HUGE price, and was instrumental in the WAR in the Pacific (4mil military, 16million civilian).

All in all - 26 countries contributed to the Allied effort (some for both sides at different times) with the BULK of the contributions being the Brittish, the US, the Soviets and China.

As a note.. while Austrailia & Canada's contributions were small in comparison to the big 4, their military deaths were nearly half of the 212,000 military dead from the French effort... they sure put up a good fight!
