The US wasn't a superpower militarily before WW2. Economically, yes, and it had the money and man power to do so if it wanted to, but it didn't. Before WW2 the US never kept a large standing army during peace time because all the way back to George Washington, they thought if you spend that much money on it, you're going to use it regardless if you need to or not. You don't use all that time, effort, and money on something and let it go to waste. There were several major powers before WW2. All with their different strengths, but no superpowers.

My biggest problem with this is the fact when talking about Britain they say England or English. It feels like the Scottish and Welsh people are forgetting about.

They were the United Kingdom of Great Britain. That’s who was a war. Not just “England”. Never forget the effort and sacrifices all the home nations gave in that time.

Just one question here…5:00 -5:30 I noticed that when German Dornier and Heinkel bombers dropped their payload, their bombs fell in a wobbly fashion: Sort of doing a semi half twist and then righting themselves up.

Allowing them to then both focus on America. People seem so confused on why these countries did what they did but from their perspective these all seem like logical conclusions

One thing is certain: technically and militarily, Germany was more advanced than any other country at that time. Germany already had a stealth fighter jet from Horton. And also the first Figheter Jet, the Messerschmit ME 262. And without Wernher von Braun, the US would never get to the moon so quickly. The Germans already had the Rockets technology. Albert Einsein also came from Germany, but he had studied and worked in Switzerland, where he also received citizenship before he went to America and then received US citizenship

[@naordie]

Rockets started in Russia. Nukes were created in the USA. Radar in the UK. Germany lost the war. German superiority was a myth. They were defeated by numbers and factories, not technology.

[@McLarenMercedes]

1. The British invented the jet engine before the Germans. Frank Whittle. 2. The Horton was not a fighter and neither was it stealth. Not a single one was ever operational either. What "already" ? 3. The American Robert H. Goddard built the first liquid-powered rockets in 1925. 4. The Russian Sergei Korolev designed and build liquid-powered rockets right after. On August 18, 1933, GIRD launched the first hybrid propellant rocket, the GIRD-09, and on November 25, 1933, the Soviet's first liquid-fueled rocket GIRD-X. Korolev was the man behind the the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile, the R7-Semyorka in 1957. He later headed the Soviet space program. 5. The Atomic Bomb was by far the most advanced weapon of the war. American, British and Canadian scientists worked on it. 6. Robert Oppenheimer was an American. The man most responsible for the atomic bomb. 7. Enrico Fermi was an Italian (later naturalized American) who built the first nuclear reactor Pile-1. 8. Alan Turing was British. He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science. 9. Niels Bohr was Danish and who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. 10. Einstein was also a Jew and therefore not German at all according to the Third Reich. Einstein is the only theoretical physicist you know of. "One thing is certain: " Bertrand Russell (mathematician, logician, philosopher, writer and Nobel Prize winner) once said: "The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are certain while the intelligent are full of doubt." Id say he had the likes of you in mind. Always very certain of things but actually knowing very little.

[@FinalFront]

@@McLarenMercedes You should understand that rockets don't scale up easily. It was a massive engineering feat to scale liquid fueled rockets up. The liquid fueled rockets built and launched by Goddard as well as the Soviets with the GIRD-09 were tiny rockets, essentially large model rockets. This is the reason project overcast was so important for the post-war American rocket program, and even still they encountered huge problems with scaling up liquid fueled engines to be as large as the F-1. The Soviets had problems with this too, and as a matter of fact they never did develop large engines for heavy lift rockets like the Americans did under Werner von Braun.

They should have taken Iceland and Greenland and then move into Newfoundland to set up air bases when they had the chance, when U boats dominated the Atlantic. Nobody could have stopped them at that time.

I would point out that in 1940 , America was far from being a super power.

[@oldgysgt]

In 1940 America had the largest industrial capacity of any nation in the world, as well as the world's largest Navy. Our Army and Air Service needed updating and enlargement, but we were not "far from being a super power".

[@pigmanobvious]

@@oldgysgt Britain still had the largest navy at that time and we had the 17th largest army. We were a latent super power. By 1945 we were the most powerful nation on earth.

[@oldgysgt]

@@pigmanobvious; the RN had more operational ships than the USN in 1940, but the USN had large numbers of "mothballed" ships, especially Destroyers. In fact, we sold 50 of these Destroyers to Great Briton to help out the RN. As I said, our Army needed enlarging, but in 1940 the Draft had just been restarted. We were NOT "FAR from being a world power". The fact that the international Naval limitation conference and treaty was held in Washington, and not London, proves that. In 1940, in spite of isolationism sentiment among the US population, the US was a major figure in World Power politics.

1940 america had only such number of fleet carriers available, essex series was still in design stage then

A better idea than taking Iceland would have been to take the Azores (Islands 1/3 away over the Atlantic Ocean).

[@dovetonsturdee7033]

Now would Germany, with a tiny navy, hold the Azores in the unlikely event that they were even taken?

The bomber in the thumbnail is not the Me 264 because of both the tail of the plane in the thumbnail and also it’s fuselage most predominantly the nose

Ok, I love my country but the US was most certainly NOT the "world's greatest power" in the late 30s lol That honor would go to Britain.

[@michaelwilber9889]

Roosevelt knew Japan would attack Hawaii. And allowed it.

[@DariuszRegiel]

Probably all European nations in the 1920s nd 30s knew who posed the ultimate threat to their civilization, and Germany was one of them. The Germans were well aware that the enemy found their 'promised land' in the US, particularly in NY. This knowledge is now erased from all coursebooks and courses, but sources providing this now well guarded and censored insight still exist.

[@chriskelly4299]

I'm not sure I know what your getting at. So who was the ultimate threat? Just Americans?
