Yeah but also the British would have been completely taken over by Nazi Germany forces and probably be a totally different place today had Winston Churchill not made the deal with US president FDR to bring the production power US had into the 2nd world war. The Americans did play a big part in the British countries survival,that being said the British empire however soon faded following that deal ,and gave rise to the American empire in a big sense,but was a sacrifice that helped the British survive Hitler's invasion,and in a sense helped save Europe as a whole,not to forget with a lot of help from the soviets on the other side of the sandwich..

Both my grandpas fought in WW2. I have all their medals in a case on the wall not very far from where I sit right now. My grandpa's bro was in the Korean war. An uncle was in Vietnam.
