Why wont Americans admit they didn't win World War 2?

"The government doesn’t claim it, but constantly Americans claim it. I’m not denying their involvement in the war at all, but what im saying is this, without the Soviet Union we would not have won, without the British empire we would not have won, without the French we would not ha........well actually we could have won without the French. But the overall point is no one country won World War 2, it was a team effort.

One thought I have is that because the United States only entered the war when it was convenient for them, they were not as exhausted as the other combatants, and thus believe victory was solely due to them."

Yeah it was a team effort, but in my humble opinion, the fate of the second world war was decided by the outcome of Operation Barbarossa.....

A decisive role was played by the USSR, USA, and Britain. THE decisive roll was played by the USSR, go ask its 20 million dead.....

EASTERN FRONT:

Stalingrad: 1.8 million

Siege of Leningrad: 1.5 million

Moscow 1941-42: 700,000
