Neither.
The U.S. would not be speaking Japanese nor German.
The Japanese did not have the oil and ability to land on American shores. However, the Japanese did atrocious things throughout East and South Asia.
The Germans were finished when the UK declared war on Hitler. Hitler never thought there would be two fronts. Germany had an oil problem also.
Don't get me wrong. The Germans were trying to develop an atomic bomb.
I have had relatives fight in WWII.
Even in World War 2, the soldiers were expendable. It's a part of the job. A statistical fact. On D-Day, the survival rate was very low.
I now do not think the U.S. should have gotten involved in WWII as much as they did. Helping the USSR was a mistake.
