I\\\'ve heard of \\\"Truth in Television\\\" ... Is there \\\"Truth in Tropes\\\" too? Cause the USA did freaking win World War II! YouFailHistoryForever.

Nobody said the US did it alone. I\\\'ve listened to alot of what was on the radio back then and that\\\'s not what they were saying. They talked about the other countries involved too. But it\\\'s pretty obvious that the United States entering the war was a major, major turning point without which it\\\'s probable that the baddies would have won.

And it could be quite intelligently argued that World War II didn\\\'t begin until the United States entered the war - the key word being \\\"World.\\\" It could be argued that it\\\'s not really a \\\"World War\\\" until both sides of the Atlantic are involved. The conflict certainly didn\\\'t start with the US directly involved, but one could say that the World War did.

And the Brits who criticize the US for not getting off their lazy asses until 1942 have a right to complain.
