Guest, as far as the U.S. dragging are feet. You have to understand that Europe is about the size of the U.S. If Texas attacked Oklahoma, would France be there the next day? Sometimes, especially during WWI, we didn't know which side to help(?). ...

Guest, as far as the U.S. dragging are feet. You have to understand that Europe is about the size of the U.S. If Texas attacked Oklahoma, would France be there the next day? Sometimes, especially during WWI, we didn't know which side to help(?). Sounds funny, but true. Also, we just came out of a depression. My grandparents basically went from starving and unemployed to war in Europe. Hitler caught everone off guard. The events unfolded rapidly. Even the German soldiers couldn't believe everything that was happening. Then there's the logistics issues. It was mid twentieth century. It's very difficult to move whole Armies across the Atlantic. I mean, look what we went through just to land on the beaches of Normandy. My great uncle WILL NOT talk about that one. I'm glad we're all allies but quit bitchin.

Well, ygg, being neutral is not exactly a black-or-white issue: there's lots of gray areas. But you are correct in that the USA was being led towards war by Roosevelt, despite the idea's lack of popularity with the voters. Pearl Harbor just sped up and ...

Well, ygg, being neutral is not exactly a black-or-white issue: there's lots of gray areas. But you are correct in that the USA was being led towards war by Roosevelt, despite the idea's lack of popularity with the voters. Pearl Harbor just sped up and simplified the process. I mean, we even had our "neutral" destroyers escorting UK convoys, and even lost a couple to German action before "entering" the war.

"Neutral" they were not... They sided with the British supplying them with arms, food and vehicles. If they were neutral they would send stuff to Germany and Japan too, wouldn't they?

Wow guest, you are a little misinformed. In 1939 America was neutral, thanks to WWI. We didn't want to get involved in another war. We DID lend financial and material support to Britian, Russia and France, lest you forgot, via the Lend/Lease Act. ...

Wow guest, you are a little misinformed. In 1939 America was neutral, thanks to WWI. We didn't want to get involved in another war. We DID lend financial and material support to Britian, Russia and France, lest you forgot, via the Lend/Lease Act. In 1941 America launched Operation Torch to help out Monty in Africa. The battles and loss of men in that operation were more severe than any in the European theatre throughout the rest of the war. I suggest you do some research before you go off half-cocked.

We needed America to help us win the war. But please Americans don't pretend you did it for morale reasons. You joined the war to protect your own intersts. Americans watch too many Hollywood films about WW2 which portrays the amercan troops as heroes...

We needed America to help us win the war. But please Americans don't pretend you did it for morale reasons. You joined the war to protect your own intersts. Americans watch too many Hollywood films about WW2 which portrays the amercan troops as heroes and liberators. But where were they at very beginning of the war when England and France desperately needed help? I know, eating their Big Macs, getting fatter and drowning in their own self importance. Then they decide to turn up half way through and claim they won it. Most Americans don't even know where europe is. Nevermind not being able to spell correctly(observation on this site)

By July 1918 there were over a million US soldiers in France. The American Expeditionary Force suffered 264,000 casualties, including 50,554 killed in battle and about 25,000 by disease. I guess that's a little more than just a "psychological impact".

If there is of course no doubt about the necessity of USA/USSR in WW2, stop saying USA saved France's ass in WWI! it's wrong! it only had a psychological impact on Germans but military speaking, you did nearly nothing! (please don't bother me with...
