Yeah taking credit for no reason is US’s old habit doesn’t amuse me no more
I think it was 8 out of 10 cats where some yank piped up “Yeah but we saved your ass in world war 2”
“About 3 years late”
The British did a lot during WW1 to get America involved in the war. The fresh troops, food and supplies definitely tipped the balance in the allies favor. But let’s be honest it was the French that did most of the heavy lifting for the allies in that war
they want to remember we PAID them for their help.
Finally we get some positive recognition in this sub! It was really hard for us to wait all that time and stay on the sidelines while all you went to the meat grinder first. On behalf of all Americans I say “could you spare some healthcare?”
Putting Belgium on this but leaving out China and any other country that isn’t majority white is batshit insane. India contributed 4X as many troops as Belgium, all volunteers; and there’s no mention of countries from Zambia to Malaysia to Jamaica that sent troops. Ironic that this image suggests European countries won the war alone when it accuses the US of making that same false claim. Delete it.
We finished financially paying our us war bill in the 80s or 90s, but we are still paying for the lost opportunities caused by the destruction and loss of life. The us crowed then about their industrial power house – easy when you aren’t getting bombed. Pro tip from the us – always fight your wars in a foreign land, it’s so difficult to get the stains out of the carpet else. On the other hand, if us help shortened the war by even one day it was worth it. Irrelevant of nationality a lot of sons and daughters died. The colour of money isn’t green its crimson red.
America are the ultimate goal hangers and glory hunters. WW1, they waited to see which way the wind was blowing before choosing a side. They also made sure to profit off it first. Then as the Allies started to gain the upper hand, they rode in all gung ho to “save the day”
Hundreds of US soldiers died needlessly on Armistice day because they sent them over the top, despite knowing hours in advance that there was a ceasefire coming.
Japan surrendered in WW2, not because of the Americans and not because of the A bomb but because the Russians were coming, having been freed up in Europe. They much preferred to surrender to the Americans than the Russians.
But why are Canada and Australia bigger with less?
Good God America do you know how bad you fucked up? The British were just complementary about the French to shit on you. The French.
The Canadians need to be bigger after what they did, mad respect.
We got them best guns in the world and we use them on each other .lol
It’s wild how the narrative always gets simplified. The late entry and fresh supplies were crucial, but it completely glosses over the years of brutal fighting by the French and British that came before. Acting like it was a solo effort is a real disservice to history. The credit should really be a shared, nuanced thing.
The USA lost 53k soldiers during WWI. Nepal (fighting for Britain) lost 30k.
That was yesterday news who the big thing on the block now ?
They stormed one piece of woodland and we’ve yet to hear the last of it
Not to nitpick but why are Aus and Canada depicted as such if they had fewer than USA
In 2011 I was in Thailand in an American owned bar which was having a 4th of July party. I got talking to the American bar owner who was retired US airforce and he had no idea that both the French and the Spanish had helped the Americans in their War for Independence. Sadly he is far from being the only one.
Let’s not forget all the Commonwealth countries who sent volunteer armies to help the British and the French colonial armies. They seems to get forgotten quite a lot.
Don’t you know we’d all be speaking German if it wasn’t for them? Show some gratitude and kiss Captain Bonespurs’ ring!
lol Americans don’t give a shit about WW1, never heard anyone claim “we won it for europe” either. There were no clear lines and americans view it primarily as pointless and stupid.
Now look at how much money US pumped into the allies.
Where is the German ones?
Brought the killer flu to us!
Although i agree with the sentiment of the meme, its a bit short sighted.
Not being funny, but if you think our military is doing any heavy lifting compared to the US in a future WW youre sorely mistaken.
Haha Russia was never there it was all uk and USA sure
Lil bro is so obsessed with America. Americas combat divisions were twice the size of Europeans so it’s more like 25 combat divisions if we were to standardize it.
Where is Russia in this?
im no US fanboy but you pulled these numbers out of your arse.
Another day in Great “British” Memes, another meme shitting on America. Must be a day that ends in Y
