Less than half the number of Americans dead from Covid.
The Soviets lost 25 million. The Chinese lost 14 million. Two-thirds of the globe was laid waste. England was nearly bankrupt, didn't even end food rationing until the 1950s were well underway. The US didn't even need to ration while the war was on, FDR thought it would be good for every citizen to contribute to the war effort.
Hundreds of millions of people traded one form of tyranny for another. Europe and Asia were laid waste. The worst of the fighting was in Ukraine, Georgia, Belorus, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, and a few countries that don't exist anymore. So many millions died, nobody can fix the exact number.
But the US came out clean and smelling like roses. Our cities weren't bombed, 25% of our population wasn't killed, none of our people were forcibly displaced (except for the Nisei we put in concentration camps). Our economy boomed, we got rich, became the richest country the world had ever seen.
For us, the second world war isn't real. It's Hollywood. It's entertainment. IMO, it's the biggest reason why the public lets the leaders inflict it on so many other countries.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
