I think it'll be a good time for me to add that this business of 'speaking german' is pretty dumb when said about Britain. Although the empire didn't contribute to world war II, Hitler admired it, and looked up to the british as friends rather than enemies. Even churchill himself was a flipside of the same coin as Hitler in what they wanted(They both were great orators, looked to build upon thier empire, inspirational leaders etc.).
Unlike his attitude towards France or Russia, Hitler would never had forced Britain under a vichy government had he won. He would, however, after conquering Europe have attacked north america .His writings present a dim view of the united states- so he would make sure the culture would not be preserved. In short, britain would have german as a second language, the united states would have it as a first language.
Fortunately, this never happened. But If britain did fall then hitler would have the time he needed, as well as resources to pause the war, and resume it after he had created the nuclear warheads that were planned.
Although never launched, Von Braun had already completed a modification of the V2 (The v2 was actually the finishing part) that could well exceed the 220 mile restrictions of the popular V2, and instead could reach new York. Such an expense could not be justified by the normal one ton warhead of explosives found on normal V2s. Although lagging behind the united states by about 18 months, Hitlers nuke programme could have been better realised with an entire continent under control. In the same mannor as he suddenly attacked Czech and poland to recover the mining fields and the polish corridor (Gdansk, formerly Danzig) he could have blitzed the united states into oblivion with nuclear missiles that could not be shot down like an enola gay.

The slightly biased view of WWII, which started in 1939, when Hitler declared war upon Poland. Later, in December, 1941, the US legally declared war upon Japan. A day later, the remaining Axis powers declared war upon the US.
The US fought in the war until its end. It gave huge assistance in the D-Day invasion, and ended its war, and the Far East's war with Japan, which was the only Axis power that far east, by dropping two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in order.
Before the Pearl Harbor attack, The United States gave HUGE assistance to the Allied European powers, particularly in the way of money, food, weapons, and other important resources.
So, in fact, if it weren't for America, the European Allies would have, theoretically, fallen apart without the resource and militaristic support (allowing for the Nazis to take over all of Europe and effectively wipe out almost every singe person with Jewish heriatige on this planet), and a considerable amount of Eastern Asia would belong to Japan.
America may have been able to take care of itself if this did happen, maybe not, but it can be assured that if it weren't for America, every European (save the Switz, who were neutral, as they owned the world's banks) would be speaking German and hailing Hitler, and most, if not all, of the billions of people in Asia would be speaking Japanese and curisng America with every other breath.

The American view of WWII, although slightly inaccurate, is mostly true.

I hate to make this seem like a chatroom with my response, but I figured what the hell.
Anyway, the United States of America did not participate in World War II until after Pearl Harbor in the near-end of 1941. By 1942, the United States of America had been involved in absolute full-blown war, along with the UK, France, the Soviet Union, Italy, Imperial Japan, and Nazi Germany.
HOWEVER, it is a fact that America had wanted to seclude itself from World War II. After World War I, America did not want to participate in anymore international wars. However, after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, America had to drag itself with all its military-industrial power.
America got roughly 3 years of battle in during WWII, from '42-'45. On June 6th, 1944, in cooperation with the UK and other willing allies, America launched Operation Overlord (aka : D-Day), in an ultra-daring attempt to reclaim France, ultimately to reclaim Europe from facist & nazi grip.
Then, in the middle of 1945, America began top-secret experimentation via a letter from a man named Albert Einstein, concerning a way to "split the atom". This was called The Manhattan Project, and it was the experimentation of a revolutionary new bomb, called an "atomic bomb" (sidenote : the atomic bomb was originally planned out by Axis powers like Germany and Japan). After August 6th and 9th of the same year, a new age was born.....
World War II ended on September 2nd of 1945 when Japan, the last enemy, surrendered.
After World War II, it was realized worldwide that the United States of America was clearly the world's most powerful nation, although along with the Soviet Union (these two would rival one-another during the Cold War, which would occur next year). It was also realized that the originally-fledgling nation of the United States of America had a major purpose, which would be to assume major leadership of the world (not absolute leadership, nor even rulership, given America's purpose and beliefs.....today, America believes that the world belongs to everyone).
Although America only got roughly 3 years of fighting in during WWII, America was said to do most of the work.

Regardless of what that idiot "Stalin" said at the bottom of the page, BOTH of the turning-point battles of World War Two in which the Axis Powers officially went on the defensive were fought AND WON almost entirely if not entirely by the Americans - The Battle of Midway, in which the Japanese Navy was defeated, and the Battle of the Bulge, in which the German Panzer Corps was defeated and the German Army exhausted.
Note - ALMOST THE ENTIRE WAR AGAINST JAPAN WAS FOUGHT BY THE AMERICAN NAVY!!!! If not for America, World War Three would have been fought between the Empire of Japan and the Empire of Nazi Germany for world dominance.

Actually, Germany didn't declare war on anyone, the US as last. Hitler's aim was to expand towards the east and not to wage war on any western country. The one that declared war on Germany was the UK. (Which had some more reasons, compare: balance of powers, arms race - and don't look it up here.)
In my opinion, France can be considered the country with the greatest losses out of WW2. This whole section is nothing more than telling others your opinion.

American: "If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German."
The truth: The Americans didn't even join the war until 1944. They didn't hardly do anything at all. The only thing they did was drop an Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagaski, Japan. And unlike you, Britain was in the ALL of the war. And you didn't finish the war. It was us and the Africans.

American view of World War II-
Some American idiot is probably going to Recommend this for Deletion and say that it's inaccurate because they are stupid useless Tossers that take all the credit for something they didn't do.
