75: Every Theater

As the 75th Anniversary of V-E Day comes at the beginning of next month I’ve heard people say that their country could have won the war all by themselves. The only country that can actually say that they could have won World War 2 by themselves is the only country (Axis or Allied) that fought in every single Theater of the war: the United States. 

Germany: Fought in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. 

Japan: Fought in Asia, Australia, Oceania and  North America. 

The Soviet Union: Fought in Eastern Europe and Asia (they declared war on Japan on August 8, 1945 in-between when the US dropped the 1st atomic bomb on Japan on August 6th and the 2nd atomic bomb on August 9th – technically they are still at war since a Peace Treaty was never signed.)

The United Kingdom: Fought in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean and South America.

Canada: Fought in: North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, Asia and Oceania.

The United States: Fought in: North America, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Australia.
