However hard the North Wind blew, the traveler only wrapped his cloak tighter to keep warm, but when the Sun shone, the traveler was overcome with heat and soon took his cloak off.
Wrong lesson. We bombed Germany's cities night and day just as Germany bombed the Brit's cities before them. The results were the same, no capitulation. If anything, the bombing made the people more patriotic and united.In WWII, the Axis powers were not persuaded. End of lesson.The North Wind and the Sun is one of Aesop's Fables (Perry Index 46).

You also learned the wrong lesson. The aerial bombing of Britain and Germany did NOT make them admit the fact they were totally defeated. Britain never gave up and Germany had to be occupied by ground forces.Wrong lesson. We bombed Germany's cities night and day just as Germany bombed the Brit's cities before them.

What it made them is admit the fact they were totally defeated, which made rebuilding them in a way that we wanted easier.
We turned two militaristic societies into a bunch of bankers and salarymen.
