Fucking arrogance to imply that the US won either of those wars. The alliances won, not a single country. But it you want to rally push for an answer, in WWI, the UK nearly bankrupted themselves paying for the war. France and the UK fielded much larger armies than the US by double. And Canada, one of the smaller players in the war, during the hundred day offensive, was responsible for killing a quarter of the German soldiers, while only making up 3% of the fighting force. In WWII, the Soviets killed more Germans than everyone else put together by 4 times. Americans also conveniently forget that the rest of us were fighting 3 years before they joined. I’m not diminishing the US and their role, but to imply the US won, like they did it alone is just fucking insulting. As a note, on D-Day, Canadians troops pushed further and deeper into France than either the US or UK on the initial landing. I could also point out that had Canadians not won the Battle of the Scheldt, the war could have gone a very different way. Antwerp was essential to get supplies to the fighting forces. I don’t care how important the US thinks they were, they wouldn’t have done much winning without food, bullets or bandages.

If those Americans could read they’d be very upset.
