Briefly: A war in which aproximately 12 million allied soldiers and 33 million civilians lost their lives defending the freedoms many now take for granted.

Yes it is true the Red Army contributed largely to the Allied victory, but they too committed many atrocities to the citizens of the various countries they occupied. Especially the Baltic countries, Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania were pretty wealthy, and had a standard of living on par with most of western Europe before World War II. However, Soviet occupation annihilated their economies, wealth, and severely damaged their environmental beauty.

The war where the europian allied powers did most of the frontwork. But United States cleaned it all up when they invaded Omaha and then nuked Japan. All the Soviet Union did was have shitty weather.

A major fight between family or cohabitants. Usually involves throwing things, and can be heard about a block away.
Amy's having World War III with her parents, so I'm letting her borrow my couch.
It sounded like the neighbours were having World War III last night...and then a lot of make-up sex.
After we had World War III for the second time this week, I threw his stuff out on the lawn.

1) A war which the main character in countless first-person shooter PC/Playstation games is shown single-handedly winning.
2) A war (1937-1945) whose understanding by most Brits AND Americans today is unfortunately largely Eurocentric.
3) A war whose tide the Americans did indeed almost singlehandedly turn in the Pacific at the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway(May/June 1942)
4) A war during which Japan committed very brutal atrocities which resulted in the deaths of over 20 million Asian/Pacific Island civilians, which Japan has yet to publicly acknowledge.

Today "World" War II would better serve to be known as the Second European War, since noone seems to give a rat's ass about the Asia/Pacific Theater.
