also fun fact, the Oil Fields Hitler wanted to take were the same Japan tried taking from Russia in the battle of Khalkin Gol in an earlier conflict
And there was no troop support
American Pilots participated along with Canadian pilots in the Battle of Britain
That was exactly it
Exactly^
They weren't sent by the US
They were volunteers
The Allies were actual allies. They coordinated. They worked together. Not so with the Axis.
That is a false equivalency.
still US pilots, just ones that chose to come early
Not sent by the government
That's the most important part
There were also a lot more Americans who joined the Wehrmacht
the US military never officially declared any kind of war or strategy until Pearl Harbor
"The war was won by American Steel, British Brains, and Russian blood"
About twice as many as the ones who joined the battle of Britain.
they didnt have a justifiable reason to
exactly, plus the depression was hitting hard still
So by your logic then the US was Axis because their people joined on their own.
those were primarily german immigrants who didnt exactly feel welcome following discrimination against Germans following ww1
Still Americans
nobody wanted to go to war until it was an attack on America personally
Most white Americans come from German immigrants.
Or Irish
those German immigrants came during the western expansion
At the time it was 56% German immigrants or decendants of German immigrants.
A large majority.
Now it's more Irish and English.
But since the US didn't offically send troop support they weren't in the war.
Until pearl harbour.
Ooh, I got something to show you guys that I know you'll love.
Most Irish mf'er you'll ever meet. And he's American.
"Me an my pa hunted using a Ferret."
I didn't even know that was a thing until he brought it up.
its a potato man
Why do you Americans think you can be irish?
Especially in Boston
You're fucking larpers
Uhh...you ain't even reading the video description are you?
Harsh truth
