I think your thread, like your perception is influenced by the attention that Hollywood has given to the US involvement in that war. It permeated every culture worldwide. I don't think the general feeling in the US is what you describe in your America-bashing attempt. Try again.It seems to crop up quite a few times where posters claim everyone would be speaking German if the US hadn't won WW2.
Time for America to get over its WWII nostalgia
It was the nadir of human history, not a Saturday morning cartoontheweek.com
There's nothing wrong with an interest in history. But the distorted and chauvinist way the war's history has been presented in the popular imagination is a major problem. It's long since time Americans adopted a more realistic and sensible attitude towards World War II.
The greatest error of historical fact in America's popular interpretation of the war is the idea that the United States won it pretty much single-handedly.
So despite actual history, do you still believe America single-handedly won WW2? Why? Is it something school taught you or your parents? Genuinely would like to know.

Maybe that's why he forced the prisoners in his concentration camps to grow their own food.

Well I don't know about Germany but my grandpa singlehandedly defeated the Japanese. Some other people may have helped a little.

You're lying.
Anyone who thinks FDR was a great president has to ignore his gross violation of the Japanese Americans constitutional rights, which makes them leftoids, which makes their opinions irrelevant.

A real historian understands the paranoia against the Japanese after Pearl Harbor and that the US Supreme Court agreed with internment. Also that conservatives overwhelmingly supported it
