Forget WW2, even WW1. If you want to talk about France's military might, talk about Napoleon Bonaparte. Talk about the fact that the last nation to invade Britain, something not even Germany could do, was France in the 11th century, but for god's sake do not mention France and WW2 in the same sentence.

More French people died than English people or American people.
According to wiki 217,600 French soldiers died.
Oh and dont forget that 1,400,000 soldiers + 300,000 civilians died 20 years before and that France had a really bad demography + over 4,000,000 wounded from WW1

Yea France got raped but people bashing France are stupid. Why they dont blame China, South Korea or Poland for being raped too ?

are you seriously asking me if I am?

my point is that when any american claims that "we saved europe from the facists" that is a claim that could be made with the same force and truth to it as when any non german, spanish, italian, swiss or swedish european person makes the same claim. it was a team effort, usa only joined in after they had been attacked by japan and joined in to protect their own interests, not because they had a noble cause to defend europe against the nazis. usas contribution was of course great, and necessary to win the war, but to make the claim that "we saved europe" is to downplay the effort made by all other european countries that fought against nazi germany, especially great britain and russia, both whom sacrificed far, far more than usa did. (hell, usa was essentially the only country in the world to benefit from world war 2.. )

In WWI we tipped the scales, we got there after Russia had left the war and Germany was only fighting on one front. We drafted a 4 million man army to break a stalemate. We were necessary for the Victory in WWI.

In WW2 we greatly assisted the allies with the lend-lease act in order to supply Russia and Britain with equipment they needed. We kept Britain in the war by also making sure that the Islands could bring in supplies. And all of you guys seem to be ignoring Japan. We singlehandedly defeated Japan because Russia had a non-aggression treaty with them until 1945. Russia did absolutely nothing to help us with Japan. Russia also tried to have a non-aggression treaty with Germany, but was betrayed.

Russia did the most on the Western front, but we helped fund their war effort. We singlehandedly handled the Eastern front.

It is not just now that USA has the largest economy in the world. We had the largest economy then as well.

But I don't think everyone has to bow down to us until the end of time because of how necessary it was for us to join the war.

I think you mixed up the Eastern and Western fronts. And the western front (I assume this was what you meant) wasn't singlehandedly handled by the US, it was a joint effort by troops from Britain, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and numerous other former British colonies. Although admittedly the vast majority of the military hardware that was shipped onto mainland Europe was American.
