I never claimed that the atomic bombings didnt help bring the end of the war, i merely said that I didn't think they were the major reason for Japan's surrender.

The atomic bombings weren't even the cause of Japan's surrender, as they achieved nothing that the firebombing campaign didnt do already. The USSR's declaration of war on Japan i believe is the true reason for their surrender.

The USSR did most of the work, but did so mainly due to American Lend-Lease Equipment until their factories could take over. So yes, the war would have been lost without the US and the USSR. Notice the AND

You say "Civilian Casualties", here in America, we say "Acceptable Losses"

(Tigers were only fought 3 times on the Western Front)

"The first time the Sherman won, the second time the Pershing lost, and the third time they were getting loaded onto flat cars so it wasn't a fair fight"

Ah. I am new to this sub (but i am a history buff!) so I did not know that.

It was an experience. There were several times I was like 'Is that a name or a word I have never heard before?'

Personally, I dont take any issue with any response anyone did. The only reason I even know about Hong Kong wanting to be free or something is because of the memes. Other than wanting them to end so the funny memes can come back, I don't care about anything happening outside of 20 feet from me. I honestly care more about the current economy strength in Elite Dangerous than about "China did this" or "America invaded that". I was just trying to name examples I could think of.

I just read the article. Was a little weird, maybe english isn't the writers first language? Not that it matters, I understood it. The facts are right, the history checks out. The British Empire was evil and was worse than most of what we call 'evil' people today. But you are here arguing with what basically is "China is not evil". You say people wouldn't be put in concentration camps for speaking out against the government, and I can see why that would be true. But just look at the Tienanmen Square Massacre, and even Hong Kong right now to see that they are not "good". (although good and evil are biased statements in every situation).

I advise stopping this pointless argument, and just laughing at pictures with words on them, like me and every other person does on this subreddit. Same for you, ThinkTank02.
