>The Allies were in bad shape before 1941 even with America bankrolling nearly the entire pre-41 Allied effort on credit (34.1 billion in goods went entirely unpaid for), completely neutralizing your bullshit attempt at revisionist history.

" There is a perception that lend-lease aid was offered by the US out of the goodness of its heart. However, this version does not hold up upon closer inspection. First of all, this was because of something called “reverse lend-lease.” Even before the Second World War had ended, other nations began sending Washington essential raw materials valued at nearly 20% of the materials and weapons the US had shipped overseas. "

" And that was indeed the case, as lend-lease proved to be an inexhaustible source of wealth for many American corporations. In fact, the United States was the only country in the anti-Hitler coalition to reap significant economic dividends from the war. "

> By the time the US joined Europe had been getting it's ass kicked for nearly a decade, with Germany occupying demilitarized zones as early as 1936 in the Rhineland, and forcefully annexing Austria in 1938.

These were non-militaristic takeovers, meaning that Europe was not getting their ass kicked. Has the USA been getting their ass kicked since Russia took over Crimea? I would say in no way shape or form, but the situation is the same. Land that at one point belonged to "country A" with a population that is ethnically from "country A" being taken back by that country with a non-military takeover.

> By 1945, the UK was spending 52% of it's GDP on the war effort, whereas the United States was spending 79% of GDP on the war effort. In 1945, the UK GDP was hovering around 10 billion dollars. The US GDP in 1945 was appx 2.33 trillion.

No one is saying that the US did not spend a lot of money on WW2, after all the saying is "WW2 was won with British intelligence, US steel, and Russian blood" however, " There’s a reason that Americans often refer to WWII as “the good war,” as evidenced, for example, in the title of the book by the famous American historian Studs Terkel: The Good War: An Oral History of World War II (1984). With unabashed cynicism he quoted, “While the rest of the world came out bruised and scarred and nearly destroyed, we came out with the most unbelievable machinery, tools, manpower, money … The war was fun for America. I’m not talking about the poor souls who lost sons and daughters. But for the rest of us the war was a hell of a good time.”

Just because the US spent a lot of money on WW2 does not mean that it was for nothing.

Saying the Americans saved the world is completely ignoring the rest of the Allies involved in the war. The US could not have won WW2 without the help of the allies. 6 of the top 10 bloodiest battles in history took place between the Germans and the Russians in WW2

While obviously D-Day was an important point in the war, but Russia had been asking the US, British and Canadians to open up a second front for 2 years prior to D-day. It was not until the Russians already had the Germans retreating that a second front was finally opened up on the West. In fact, the Russians took Berlin by themselves because the rest of the Allies had not advanced far enough compared to the Russians.

Not everyone in the US felt the same way about the Nazi's either. Ford played a large part in the war effort for Nazi's. "Ford vehicles were crucial to the revolutionary Nazi military strategy of blitzkrieg. Of the 350,000 trucks used by the motorized German Army as of 1942, roughly one-third were Ford-made. " "While Ford Motor enthusiastically worked for the Reich, the company initially resisted calls from President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Churchill to increase war production for the Allies."

"In 1938 Ford was awarded the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the highest Nazi honour that could be given to a non-German."

Obviously the US played a large role in WW2, I am not saying that they didnt, but the narrative that the US was the savior is definitely not an educated take on the entirety of WW2.
