Welcome to Gaia! ::

I have no idea why we are actually discussing this but that's not all true.

- Radar was actually first thought up by a German named Heinrich Hertz when he was investigating radio waves (hence measured in Hz) and the first radar machine was developed by a Scottish guy named Sir Robert Alexander Wattson-Watt. It was Britain who patented the invention in 1935. okay, let me clearify, look at the ifrst germna radar then look at mordern radar that is used today that America created during world war II

- America did develop the first atomic bomb but they failed several times and only managed it when directly helped by Albert Einstein - a German who fled Hitler and went to America - hence the quote "If I had known that my work would lead to the devastation of the atom bomb, I'd never have lifted a finger."point is....he helped us...he was an american citizen at the time. an dthat qoute wasnt him it was a different scintest that was spearheading the operation and was in charge of the atom bombs first succesfull test 'the manhatten project' albert einstein actually joined the us because the german were only a few mounths away frmo creating heavy water which would lead them to the A bomb...einstien relized this and was the main reason he decided to help america create it.

- I don't know anything about proximity fuses or piston engines but America probably did invent those.

But I think you're still underestimating the little people. Britain is known as a land of inventors. Here's some other things "the little people" did during the war...
Britain help alot..and did very well...but America saved britains a** in WWII and they were on the brink of loosing when America jumped in.
- invention of the bouncing bomb - we destroyed the dam walls that America's "successful" air raids couldn't destroyAnd several schools and hospitals as well...bouncing bombs were successfull but inacurate..which is why america stuck with reighning fire.

- destruction of the Bismarck. If you look it up it was the British Navy, RAF and a coupkle of planes borrowed from the Polish Air Force who sunk her and she didn't mess up Britain for months because she sunk on her first mission! Although admittedly she did sink the HMS Hood which was one of our best ships.the british attempts to attack were merely a diversion at best. air plane bullets couldnt penitrate the hull and couldnt get close enough to land a bomb on it...neither could american planes which is why we used our neavy and sunked it.

- AND AMERICA HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE INVENTION OF PENICILLIN. Fleming (English) invented it and Florey and Chain (English and Oxford students) improved it so it could be used in the war although they never really developed enough of it for general use.true...originally penicillin was created by fleming, but thru wikipedia it was largley researched by his staff...americans....ergo the refrence book put it under American...looking further it also acredits england....so that was a misteake on my part.

- I know nothing about the Navohoe Wind Talkers so I won't comment on that but I do know that America did not give Britain free guns and ammo. They charged us back every penny (and with interest) for anything Britain borrowed for the war effort.Okay....haha...not i wrote free at the time of war....Britain didnt pay untill after the war. All english tanks, ships, planes, wepons, amo, was produced in america because of our booming industry at the time.

- And Britain had nothing to gain from the war effort either. We hated Hitler and we went to war to protect Poland - we only joined after Hitler had invaded.Except it was attacking your allies and you had to go in to help them due to pacts sighned by bolth parties.

- And the US Government did want to join in the war as they saw Hitler as a threat. The US People didn't as they didn't care about what happened in Europe. It's now known that Roosevelt LET THE JAPS BOMB PEARL HARBOUR ON PURPOSE.Government didnt want to get involved and neither did most the people as they felt the getting into others problems would be a bad idea. They felt it would be getting into a mess that there was no good getting into. Over time the people did want to and had several large demonstrations and marches to the capitol to get in there but congress wouldnt budge. After pearl harbor, the government had to go in despite the fact the felt it would plumit them even deeper into the depression though thru time it skyrocketed the economy.


Hang on, I'll send you a link for it. One sec. Pearl Harbour Attacks
LAWL. that is a Geocities page owned by a british man. : ]. I could just as easily make a site that says britain framed hitler for the holocost...sorry, but that cant be taken seriously...im shure nessie had its hand in the attacks as well though...maybee even big foot, or the chupacobra :]
The US can't really claim the moral high ground when they let their own citizens die in order to join the War Effort. I admit they were desperate because Hitler was a threat and the American people refused to admit it but it's still out of order.
Again not really. People had wanted to governmetn didnt. despite what random english geocity sites say, the historical fact is American government didnt want to untill pearl harbor which made them relize that the war wasnt just with others it included them as well. And I forgot to ad earlier how the entire pacific tour was ran by america and the chief of millitary instruction for the britain, atlantic tour, and Allies were american. The french and russians wre the only ones who had their own peopel from their own country running their army. All british millitary movements and operation during WWII was made by an american....so all the succesfull operations britain brags about....credit kinda goes to america.
