Nobody actually thinks that the USSR was more important for the war effort than America, right?

Nah
British beat Italians, which is no hard task. Theeen,
>Surrender to Japanese forces they outnumber and outgun for virtual no reason, largest British surrender in history
>Desert France when an actually competent foe arises, have the French military hold off in a suicidal last stand so they can scurry off back to England
>Bomb some German civilians until America shows up and gets them off their ass
>Proceed to get intel.. that's the only positive thing
>They also plan some shit tier operations such as Operation Market Garden, showing how terrible British strategy is and how much they love to get their allies killed alla Gallipoli
>Say fuck you, handle the Western front pretty much by ourselves and let the Brits take on small fry after that.
>A Brit who used a bow and arrow said, "Without the Yanks the war could've gone on for 10 more years!"
They participated, sure, and they assisted, but Canada quite honestly did just as much work in WWII as the British..

US was the Hammer, USSR was the anvil.

3/4 of the war was fought on the eastern front

>muh glorious human waves
>muh sacrifice
USA won the war 110%.

not the guy you're replying to but you're wrong, for the simple reason that Britain was a key base for the deployment of allied troops to the western front

imagine trying to pull off overlord with troop ships you're sending from america, imagine trying to resupply said forces

the fact britain held out made it the third most important actor in the allied coalition, after the U.S and the soviet union

Okay so it's cowardice made it a good support class.
Fair enough, I respect that.
I just get pissed when they claim they had a MAJOR role or even god forbid won the war.

>cowardice
>support class

the fact that britain held out for as long as it did, on its own(after the fall of france) is admirable considering germany could marshal all of occupied western europe against it(before barbarossa)

cowardice had nothing to do with it, hitler offered the easy way out for the brits plenty of times and they refused

Mainly meant Dunkirk but fair enough.

Some things you conveniently forgot to mention:

>The BEF was only landed in France because the French were so confident in their (((Maginot Line))) that they wanted British forces for an eventual offensive into Germany while they sorted out their clusterfuck of a logistics and conscription situation
>Unbelievable French incompentence due to arrogance and the triple team of terror (Daladier, Reynaud, and Gamelin) resulted in the weakest divisions being placed along the Belgian border where the ML didn't extend
>The Germans do the exact same thing that they did in WW1 because neutrality is just a meme, go straight through Belgium and rout the French in a few weeks, swinging around and cutting off the BEF from retreating south
>one of the most brilliant military evacuations in history is carried out, getting 350,000 troops across the channel
>these divisions and the RAF are the only thing that could stop Sea Lion
>Britain and her Empire are now the only state fighting the Germans, all the way from June 1940 when the French armistice was signed to June 1941 when Operation Barbarossa commenced
>in that time the Brits successfully defend their island with 350 fighters and some radar stations
>annihilate the Italians in North Africa before getting cucked by the Africa Korps and then fighting them back to Libya after relieving Tobruk
>defend Malta against wave after wave of German and Italian bombers
>set up a convoy system that would be used until '45 with the Canadians in the Atlantic, vital for the war effort
>destroy the Vichy fleet in an act of righteous perfidy
Afterwards
>invade Sicily and Italy
>kick the Germans out of NA altogether
>entire Burma campaign, Japs had to divert enormous resources for it
>the massive bombing campaign against Germany, including gems like Dresden
>invasion of Normandy was staged from Britain and much of the force was British

It honestly makes me sad that people on Veeky Forums hate the UK so much

>literally being a history revisionist

Kill yourself

every time

USSR would not survive without US involvement and aid. US would never win the war if there were no Soviet boots on the ground.

>1945: UK at 12%
;_;

why wouldn't the ussr survive without american involvement seeing as they had survived the initial onslaught and stopped it at moscow without it (and arguably at stalingrad although at that time minuscule american shipments were already arriving)?

and why couldn't the us with its vastly superior economy, manpower, industry, navy and basically everything, topped with the atomic bomb, defeat germany?

If Hitler had reached the Baku oil fields or continued to trade with the USSR in '41 he would have won the war.

no.

>war effort
nice meme
no matter how good of an economy you have, you cant win wars without men

You're good till the afterwards part. The UK only did those things with American support.

WW2 was a team effort, OK? No one Ally won the war, and no one Axis power fuck ed it up.

>one of the most brilliant military evacuations in history is carried out, getting 350,000 troops across the channel

You mean where Hitler stopped and let the British escape because he was a Brit-boo?

>It's a Bong trying to be relevant episode

More like 7-12%, and you didn't "let" them take half of Germany, your push towards Germany was simply to slow to stop them.

(OP)
Because they've fought against the bulk of the German army and all of their European allies?

In other words, the more literate the thread, the less it supports the American point of view?

russia fought alone against germany the us fought against japan along side britain the whole war
not to mention japan was a meme level treat

The USSR ground the Wehrmacht into dust but needed Lend-Lease to pull it off.

The Allies slapped the Luftwaffe around till they couldn't fly no more.

I'd say it was a team effort.

I'm afraid that only enhances your affliction.

[Citation needed]

How? Lend-Lease equipment wouldn't reach the USSR in mass quantities until '43 at the earliest due to closed naval shipping through Japanese and German patrolled waterways along with Arkhangelsk freezing over during the winter months.

But the USSR survived without US aid for almost a year?
The Battle of Moscow finished before the first aid shipment arrived.

>but needed Lend-Lease to pull it off.

Any credible historical sources for this?

It is historical fact that the Soviets were pushing the Nazis back before the first aid shipment arrived. Furthermore, Lend Lease aid would not arrive in any significant quantity until mid-1943.

In total during the war for the Esstern Front, LL only made up 15% of the war resources and 5% of the Soviet GDP.

Poles I agree with but they had a minimal impact on the course of the war. Which is unfortunate considering their bravery in the face of constantly getting fucked by Russia and Germany.

The British literally got a break from the German onslaught during Barbarossa and Case Blue, and the war shifted to random theaters away from the British Isles.

The French didn't do shit at any point during the war. The Allies (Wrongly, imho) let De Gaulle act like he was fighting a war and that he was important but in reality the French were used to propagandize the unity of the liberating allies.
