It wasn't totally the end of the war, Japan was still killing American soldiers until August.

However, I'll stop being such a history moron and pay respect to those who lost their lives fighting Hitler's tyrannical rule.

*bows head*

Well officially V-E day(Victory in Europe) has happened so Nazi has lost though, many more month they still continued to fight against Soviet's, but yes war between United States and Japan has ended on September 2, 1945. (V-J day)

Why didn't you people help us?!?! Lol, jk. We had bombz lolol.

Anyway, I'm paying my respects.

I'm just using a tank... I don't want to offend anyone with a flag or something

Actually, the Nazis confirmed their surrender on may 7th... it was a day or two before it was broadcasted, however.

Political thread is political. I'd like to say all sides of this war were bad. Germany was given too much time to conquer. Stalin was a jackass. Britain and France wouldn't do anything until it was too late. And America failed to care about the outside world.

Don't even get me started on WWI.

I'm supporting this, as we're learning it IN DETAIL, in history classes, which I happen to be taking.

I don't know with what picture yet, but I pay my respects to the people who offered their lifes in the war, many knowing, that they would die. Sometimes, I think, if it wasn't for that war, we won't be where we are today, if it wasn't for that war...But it was a real big price to pay. And..it was senseless...though that's my opinion!

/end history class rant

My avatar already has to do with WW2.

No one need history lesson here just if you got any respect say it if no dont say anything k thx

WW2 is a very sensitive subject for a great many people. However remembrance of great heroes is most welcomed.

Thinking of all the lost children, I honor your memory and I am so sorry for what happened. Never again.

You list France right up there, but what about Canada? We were there for D-Day. We took Vimy Ridge when neither the french nor the Americans could do it, and we did it in days.

Same here. I got an infraction when I argued against Rodri that - nevermidnd I won't say it.

Misspelled title is misspelled.

Demonhero, I believe he said etc. Besides, France fought on home turf, despite them being sad fighters.

Anywho, my beloved avatar is gone for the week.

I'll say the Nazis were bad, but discrimination was a constant in that time period (as it is still today). I'm actually surprised this thread is still up. I thought political threads were considered close-worthy.

/backseat modding

Well congratz to us then... ^Lol Modlol, you have 9-11 posts.

Dam I gotta post something quick so this is just a spam to clear off bad number of posts.....

Skitara, quit being an *******. You were the first one to start throwing around controversial political opinions in an otherwise non-political thread.

As for me, I can't believe I forgot about V-E Day. Seems I'm a day behind on that :(... An intresting coincidence though; I watched Saving Private Ryan last night. How appropriate.

At the end of World War II Europe merely accepted a new master: from the aggression and brutality of the Nazi regime Europe was placed under the despotism and the organized criminalism or brigandage of the Soviet Union. The Proletarian Dictator, the Plebeian Caesar or the Soviet Premier was nothing more than a despot supported by an ignorant, licentious and vulgar rabble.

The masses stormed like rolling waves of the sea butchering the innocent. The bodies of the dying writhed in agony and great shrieks of despair pierced the darkness. Eastern Europe was surrounded by a cacophony of haunting cries and rough bellows and was littered with the mangled corpses of those slain by the advancing Soviet soldiers. The Soviet soldiers ravished innocent and virtuous maidens, pillaged towns and swept all in their path. In the areas occupied by Soviet forces dismembered limbs, intestines and organs lie strewn and tossed on the ground. The innumerable Communist forces swarmed like locusts ravaging the fertile lands of Eastern Europe; such forces poured across the Soviet border as a horde of brigands, vagrants and common criminals. The Communist forces in their relentless onslaught destroyed all opposition. Such individuals were rapacious and savage and prowled like mighty beasts amongst innocent civilians.

May the Soviet Union and its legacy be condemned to perpetual execration and infamy!

Malevolent forms of tyranny are always in the world in some form. We are just taking a moment to consider its devastating effects if it is left out of check.

Wow, Conrad. That's epic. REP for you, and I'm totally quoting that.

EDIT: Crap, too long. Sorry Conrad.
Of course, you have to admit that without them, the Nazis would still be around...

Yep and if Nazis would have won they would have went on on Africa then America and so on.....Who knows if we would have been alive today.....

Yeah. It's all cool since since the Soviet Union helped defeat Nazi Germany. I mean, what's a few more million people dead (Soviet Union killed more people than Nazi Germany. /lern2history)?

You can't honestly say the Soviet Union was a good guy. They only bothered to fight because they were attacked. There was no "hero" faction as everyone fought only because it they were either scared because of what they had previously done (World War I) or were just selfish.

Germany got screwed over by the Treaty of Versailles. With an already destroyed economy, they were forced to accept the balme of the war and pay reparations to all Allied countries. Italy also got shafted. After the war, the promises made by the Allies were not even upheld (new land).

/foresees trolling because of different opinions

Say what you will but Hitler was a godsend to German. He rebuilt their economy, instilled national pride, and provided a common goal. After the failure of the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler was doing what his people wanted. He was fixing their country.

"Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all." - Adolf Hitler


As I said before, the Allies (Britain and France) only fought at the lasts minute. They weren't heroes because they didn't try to stop the problem when it started. They waited until Poland was invaded to finally decide war was the only option.

America was too content itself to even get a rat's ass for the outside world. Already facing the worst economic crisis in history, America feared going through another war. Let's face it, if Japan never attacked, they may have taken another year to enter the war. By that time, the Allies may have never won.

^Implying that the Germans aren't humans

What about open diplomacy? I doubt Hitler would have even been able to launch an invasion on the Americas. The Soviet Union and Britain's military would have probably dealt a nasty blow to the Nazi's fleet.

Truth. Very truth.

Note: It's difficult to launch an amphibious invasion when all you've got are submarines.

Why couldn't WWII be like RA3?

Ok, here's what I don't get.
Skitara, you obviously hate this war and probably every country on the planet as well. So why are you trolling so damn hard agaisnt a thread that is celebrating the END of that war?
I honestly don't get it.

Oh, and you'd be prepared to go to war, remembering the bloodbath that was WWI, would you? Everyone in Britain, France, the Commonwealth and, hell, even Germany remembered WWI.
You've got the benefit of hindsight. They did not.
You know what happened in WWII. They did not.

Of course, you'd say 'Well, they should've gone to war anyway, despite what happened in WWI.', but how the hell would the population support you? Rioting, protests and maybe even armed violence from the army would've erupted all over the country.

They thought they were saving the world from a war.

You would've as well.

:| Skirata... I agree that Britain should've acted quicker in the Second World War, but that is the decision of governments. However, respectfully, to state the Allies were not heroes is, I feel, completely unfair. You should limit such statements to the governments in question, so as to not include those doing the actual fighting, that gave up their life fighting in and for another country's safety. In fairness... the decision to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to war, and therefore virtually guarantee thousands of deaths of sons, brothers and fathers, is not one that can be made quickly or lightly.

Quicker action was needed... but those who fought were unquestionably heroes, in my mind. I question the sanity of anyone as informed as yourself, who disagrees.

Of course I hated the war! I hated what caused it and I hated what transpired during it.

Of course, I'd be prepared for a war. The day I would have learned of Austria's accession would have been the day I would have expected countries to act. I would have expected other diplomatic means to have occurred before hand though (like when they were building up their military and arms so there would have been no reason for war).

And of course Germany remembered the previous war. The end results of WWI caused WWII.

The population ended up supporting the war. Propaganda was used to favor one side over the other. Germany had newspapers support the Nazi regime while the Allied governments did similar things (although not as obvious).

Doesn't matter. They made a treaty that suppressed the German people. If they were going to enforce it like it was intended the war would never have happened. If the Treaty of Versailles wasn't signed the war would have had no reason either.

True, the soldiers fought and died for their countries and that is the most honorable thing one can do nowadays (I respect the Nazi soldiers as much as I respect the Allies. Anyone who can sacrifice their lives for something they consider greater is what we should all try to be.)

I meant no disrespect towards those who fought in the war. My anger is concentrated towards the governments that perpetrated the crimes that started this war.

Also, I have questioned my sanity for years, DC.

The decision was hard, but it was a decision that had to be made. Seeing that Nazi Germany was the monster child created by the Allies after WWI, it was their duty to stop anything before it could happen.

How about Japan how did it attack Pearl Harbor.... First they get wealth of all the nations they captured they make very very advanced ships and later would have first made navy attack from the sea making a base in united States and later improving the front and defenses of the base......
