“Wouldn’t defeating Germany and Japan also be one of the highest points? “
Of course. Do you really have to ask that question? Had the Axis powers won the world would be a very different place.
Very sad that humanity reached such a low point that the intervention was necessary. But that’s humanity for you.
Apparently I do since it was stated that it was one of the lowest points in history.
Just wanted to point out there are two sides to the coin. It was the lowest with all the needless death created by Germany and Japan. But if it was not for the US and Great Britain it would have much worse.
You are right though, it is just human nature, there will always be tyrants. Hopefully there will always be someone to rise up against them as well.
