Russia was pretty much safe from the depression being as they were communist, after Russia was Japan as one of the 2nd least affected major power. Also C w/e everything you are taught in school isn't true. I once had a Bio teacher who told us that Humans were Arthropods. One of the things I remember from my History class was a book called "Lies my Teacher told me" where it goes over commonly taught misceptions of History.
As for people who singlehandedly did something, the only one I can think of was like that Rook fella who captured 100 something Germans on his own, I forgot what nationality he was like British or American or something. Italy was British and American, that's where Patton was sent after fighting in North Africa vs. Rommel quite a bit. It's called a World War because it was a collection of forces not one country doing everything, so saying Canada or US or Russian or whoever you want to back up did all the fighting is complete crap. Anyways, prior to D-Day the war effort for the Allies was pitiful. France was totally lost and obliterated. According the generals who decided to Nuke the Japs, It was to save lives. The logic was that since the Japanese soldiers fought to the death instead of surrendering they figured that an all out invasion of Japan would kill hundreds of thousands more. They also had another benefit to nuking Japan. INTIMIDATION. Some say that the Intimidation factor was more important to the officers than winning the War vs Japan then and there. Russia was doing jack shit to help the US attack Japan, they went like a few miles south of Russia and were like **** it. Russia was considered dangerous, so what way to get them out of their way than to make a BIG ass (Vulgar
) display of Power. Then the Rosenbergs supposedly leaked the info on Nukes to the Russians and such was the Cold War. As for Germany's policy on the Nukes, I know jack.
As for Militarial Superpowers, I always remember it as if you had enough Nukes to destroy the planet (Not the planet itself but all its inhabitants) than you were officially called a Superpower, from what I know the only Militarial SP is the US. Russia has Nukes but not as substantial as the US. As for China invading the US or Canada, please. They would never make it here unless they went up through Russia and then through Alaska, thus being the shortest passage via boat. However if China decided to attack whoever the **** they wanted there would be trouble with containing them. Just look at Vietnam, we easily had the stuff to dominate the Viet Cong, but due to the Conservatism and the UN and all that bullshit, we were afraid to bomb the edge of Laos and Cambodia or the Orphanages that all the Cong stayed in as it wold hurt people's feelings. It's all bullshit.
Ah well, that's all I have to say. Argue with it as you please, I just won't be here to back myself up most likely. Have a plane flight tomorrow and have to pack and get ready.
Overall Americans are disliked more because of their involvement in World Politics, Canada for the most part remains neutral.

The americans broke off of Britain around 1750 during the american revolution (In which france took part of to help the americans and the victory of the american revolution helped lead to the french revolution in 1789), so they aren't quite so similar to the brits as one would think. Or one would not think them so similar as they really were O.o wierd...1775 was the start of the Revolutionary war...
TheCGuyAgain Wrote:Well if so many were destroyed, then how were they a major supplier? Wow, the americans suck at shipping goods, so the convoy was made! WOW no1 cares.. We got our goods to their designated destination for the most part.I'm sure Canada has the same success rate as America did, boats are boats.
CGuy Wrote:Have you ever been to France and other such places in Europe? The americans aren't treated very well, where as when people find out you are canadian, they treat you like a ****ing king. So basically people love us a lot more, and even if we are seen as the US' "little brother", we are more just the younger brother that pays the bills and gets you out of jail or trouble.France treats Canada better than American because A.) Canada does speak French in Quebec etc. Thats a closer relationship than we have B.) Americans treat the French like crap, they are the butt of every joke.
