All I can say is we helped turn the tides of war, saved Europe and became the most powerful Armed Forces because of WWII.
only because England, Germany and Russia got so *** up with bombs while America only suffered pearl harbor, we had that ***every night >.>
England is still owed £billions of ww1 debt since we handed out so much cash, yet we paid off our ww2 debt to USA, finally finished a few years back.
being in the middle of 2 wars made us in huge debt + needed to rebuild London and all other major cities. had to change our currency eventually and give back almost all our territory to not die out, America gained a huge advantage from the war.
as for the casualties, England frequently gets quoted at around 325k military deaths, while America is 295-500 depending on source.
and getting deep into France became hard when the Germans took control of it.
School history books are ALWAYS bias for the country its used in.
btw if 95% of worlds population died thats still over 3million people alive, would still be war, people crave power.
it would become like Africa
