I'm sure that if the Americans thought they could get away with it, they would try and claim that they saved us from Napoleon! They already think they saved us from the Kaiser and Hitler, next will probably be Napoleon and Phillip of Spain.

Great video, thanks!

[nooo8oooo]

@dezboss there wasn't really anything wrong with Kaiser Wlhem. WWI was just another European War, st apart cause of all the new tech that turned the battlefields into complete slaughterhouses. Hitler was the evily demented one.

maybe:''the war''(album:rogues en vogue),or''battle of waterloo''(album:death or glory)both by running wild(german power metal band)...these come to mind right now-I may think of others later...

@dezboss Wellington, Blucher, Nelson they saved us from the French and Spanish ;) Not Washington..oh wait, washington served in the british army at somepoint so hey I guess the yanks were led by a british boot licker LOL

@masterhalco I have said in other posts that neither war would have been won had it not been for eventual US intervention and aid.

But I am making the point that it is nothing more than insulting to say that we were 'saved'. Aided and helped yes, but saved would suggest we were just about to lose and rescued at the last minute. We kept ourselves free from Nazi invasion in 1940. Had we not, history would have been massively different.

@dezboss

How do you think Hitler would have been stopped if not for Lend/Lease and eventual American combat operations?

@SIzemore3434 To make a rather yobbish comment like that you must be extremely insecure ;-)

Why don't you put classical?  I hate this music. It doesn't fit. The Napoleonic wars were in a more classical time

@nooo8oooo You're right, but Hitler wasn't evil. He was just slightly mentally ill. He wasn't the one who thought up the evil plans they are remember for. He would get his advisors, ask them for something unspecific, such as 'I want the jews gone', and they would compete to be his number 2. It was Himmler who suggested killing them. Hitler was just a slightly insane arrogant orator, surronded by even more insane men.

@ClassicRockr86 But, there is a reason that 1940 has been called our country's 'finest hour'. Had Britain not stood alone in 1940 and 1941, I think the course of Europe's history would have been very different. Americans, like Britons, should be massively proud of what they achieved in both world wars. We were certainly helped and aided, saved is another matter.

[dezboss]

@ClassicRockr86 Any reading of Churchill's wartime speeches will acknowledge just how vital American intervention was. Even if Britain hadn't become fully committed against Japan in 1941 after Pearl Harbour (which we also wouldn't have done on our own), we still wouldn't have won against Nazi Germany in the long run. The fighting would have just gone on and on probably until stalemate was declared. As you said, it was a huge combined effort.

[ClassicRockr86]

@dezboss Okay, nw that is a sentiment I can agree with, I just was also insulted in the same way, in that the Americans who did not come to fight gave it their all and I was making sure their sacrifice was recognized. But I definitely agree with your perspective as well, using the term "saved" almost makes it seem as if any effort mounted by the British was insignificant and served no purpose, which is an absolutely disrespectful and unfounded concept.

[dezboss]

@ClassicRockr86 I acknowledge that without the US, neither of the world wars would have been won in the end. But if Britain had let herself be invaded, where would the Americans have based their troops in order to finish the war off? You couldn't have liberated us from across the Atlantic.

Without the US, neither war would have been won in the end. But saying that we were 'saved' is insulting the memory of those who did fight to keep us free from the Germans.
