claiming credit for the USA for the european countries liberated from the Nazis would probably rankle a lot less with europeans (Brits included) had you declared war on germany in 1939..... rather than declaring neutrality and waiting for them to declare war on you in December 1941...... |
Given the history of Europe and our involvement in WWI, selling the American people on another war in Europe was a pretty hard sell. There were lots of protests against US involvement and many celebrities spoke out against our involvement....sound familiar.
