Saved. Britain.
JFK. Ronald Reagan.
Stops millions. Of deaths.

You didn't save Britain

Take us out of WW2 and see what happens to Britain.
-
The Battle of Britain was over before America joined WW2. Russia ended the war in Europe by capturing Berlin. America joined the war to defend itself from Japan. If Japan wasn't part of the Axis then America wouldn't have even fought with the Allies. America did play an important role in WW2, but Britain would still be standing wether America joined or not.
-
If it wasn't for the U.S. giving an incredible amount of supplies to Britain and winning the battle of the Atlantic Britain would have starved into submission. The Battle of Britain was a multi week air war waged over Britain that was only meant to soften them up for an imminent invasion of the island. Russia was able to win because Germany was fighting a two front war and could keep up the man power to fight the massive soviet army without sacrificing the western front. If we didn't enter the war, Japan would have attacked Russia and then they would have been fighting the entire axis power after Britain had been defeated.
-
America didn't win the battle of the Atlantic by itself, it was fighting along side British and Canadian vessels. Canada played a crucial part in that battle, without Canada the battle of the Atlantic would have been lost. You can't say that America saved Britain. Britain was saved by a collective of allied countries, not just America.
-
My point being that without America joining the war Britain would have been cut off and eventually starved into submission(which was very close to happening) they would have had to surrender or would have crumbled when Germany inevitably invaded. Winston Churchill actually called Pearl Harbor as the best thing that could have happened because the sleeping American giant would have been awakened and that the allies have won the war. Not the actual quote but very close to it. If him saying that we saved Britain doesn't convict you than I don't know what would.
