It's obvious who lost (the Germans) but the Americans think it was their intervention that led to victory?
I'm curious as to what people think the catalystic factors were which led to the Allies winning?
Sorry for hijacking your post btw
Well, right off the bat I would say the allies won. I will also say that the american intervention did have a significant impact. I will also say that we Americans definitely ended it with the unconditional surrender of Japan. We Americans had some significant actions in WWII, but like I said before, it was team work that won the day.

Did the atomic bomb, in fact, cause Japan to surrender? Most Americans think the answer is self-evident. However, many historical studies�including new publications by two highly regarded scholars--challenge the conventional understanding. In a recently released Harvard University Press volume drawing upon the latest Japanese sources, for instance, Professor Tsuyohsi Hasegawa concludes that the traditional �myth cannot be supported by historical facts.� By far the most important factor forcing the decision, his research indicates, was the Soviet declaration of war against Japan on August 8, 1945, just after the Hiroshima bombing.
