Was WWII....

[PoorOldSpike]

..Was the outcome of WWII inevitable?..

According to Churchill, Germany, Italy and Japan were as good as finished the instant the US joined the war-

"To have the United States at our side was to me the greatest joy.
Now at this very moment I knew the United States was in the war, up to the neck and in to the death.
So we had won after all!...Hitler's fate was sealed. Mussolini's fate was sealed. As for the Japanese, they would be ground to powder"- Churchill (after Pearl Harbor)
"Before America entered the war I knew we could not win it, but after she entered I knew we could not lose"- Churchill
"The United States is like a giant boiler. Once the fire is lighted under it, there is no limit to the power it can generate"- Churchill
