WWI and WWII these are the 2 wars that america joined 2 years after everyone else.
This gave you 2 years of preparation.
Your fought the American war of independance, not on your own but with the aid of the French and Spanish.
America can't talk about victories because the only war you have won on your own is the American civil war. hard to lose that one.
History
Hmmmmmmmm
if it wasn't for you we would be speaking japanese or German. i don't think so. Had it not been for the Royal Air Force destroying the lufftwaffer before you joined in then yes we me have have been speaking German. (i'm english and i do speak a little german). Had it not been for the Royal Air Force beating the luftwaffer You may not have been able to have a base in europe to fight from.
