If one of the ally would of pulled out would most likely have been a loss.

Canada. We cleaned up at Juno Beach.

Actually, the German's poor stratagy with D-Day probably cost the the war. Plus, they wern't able to hold the ally advance during the Battle of the Bulge, which really screwed it up for them.

Germany turned the tide of the war.... by making there 2 stupid mistakes, declaring war on U.S. and U.S.S.R., and then by Invading USSR they got screwed by weather and that was a fuck up

True, invading Russia was a huge mistake on their part.

Germany would have won the war if not for one mistake... Hitler told his men not to attack until his word came. Hitler also decided he'd sleep in on the day of the great battle and his troops got slaughtered without command.

Germany made many, many, mistakes, the fatal one was attacking Russia. They did not have the resources to sustain a protracted war in the east and west at the same time.

Meh, the jap are only good at making car, anime and video game. When it come to war they dont have the balls size required:p

Well, Japan was already pretty much beaten after the Battle of Midway, so really, the nukes didn't really "turn the tide".

I have to agree, Germany opening a front in the East screwed them. I've watched a lot on the History Channel (:P) and people believe Hitler had a terminal case of Parkinson's and he was trying to outrun his death.

America or Germany by far, probably about equal, no doubt in my mind that it is one of the two though. We contributed largely to d-day and dropped the bombs which forced japan out of the war (the two atom bombs, and the bombing run in which the b-29s flew off the carrier and went on an incredibly long bombing run, if you know ur history, thank god for japanese power failures).

The Japanese aren't even allowed to have an army due to the fact that their army was so insane. The treaty with the United Nations restricts them from having a military.

Which is pretty damn fucked up...what if someone were to attack the japs...yes...i know...they have support...but still...its not like our millitary or some1 elses milltary can be there 100% of the time

Everyone in the UN would help them.

Demosthenes
2003-12-16, 09:00 PM
Yea...or so they say...what if the un were to not help them...or what if one of the countries in the UN declared war on the japs...

ya most of the nations with the power 2 take down japon r in the un so the un would stay out of it

Just because a nation is a member of The United Nations, doesn't mean they can't or won't do something, But it is less likely.

It just means that the other members of the UN will be like "Oh shits" and attack them.

Ok the US is japan's military, we protect them. If they get attacked i think there is something saying we have to go fight for them

hands down... russia was a key in the whole war. I am russian and as such i have a right to represent my country with best intentions. during the 1940-1945 we lost more than 55million soldiers in combat. with a total loss of 60 mill between he allies i think it is a number that should be considered in the argument. In 1945 russia finlly overtook the Berlin single handed (because rancs fell, uk was trembling and ready to pull out. us was watching from belgium.. so it turns out that the germany as a fascist ountry fell that day because of russia. i hope that clears your question

Actually Hitler delayed the invasion of Russia by 3 months because he invaed Poland first, by the time the 3 months were up it was winter in Russia .

The UN has plenty of ways and regulations and crap to see this coming and know the solution. If one country in the UN attacks another in the UN, then it would be the attackers fault and all countrys have to unite against them. Now if for some odd reason the other countries decided that attacking russia or china isent what they want, they would drop from the UN because they wouldent be able to hold up their end of the bargan. And with that comes the collapse of the UN because if they cant even follow their own rules then the UN wouldent exist anyway. Now even if the UN falls through because of a new war, countries have close alliances with many different countrys. All countries usually depend on other countries for import/export or some other reason that will directly effect and hurt their economy so they would want to get involved. You break a rule or regulation while in the UN and thats like insulting every country in the UN and they take action against you. There are a handful of countries in the world powerful enough to start a world war of epic porportions by declaring war on another one. What? this topic is about world war two ? oh... Umm... Yeah Germany screwed itself...
