At the end of World War II, why did Churchill send a telegram to Roosevelt, saying that World War II was a "war of giants"

The smoke of World War II has been far away from us for more than 80 years. When people look back on this war, they often regard the leaders of Germany, Italy and Japan as the chief culprits of launching World War II, and compare the success or failure of zhukov manstein and other famous World War II players, while putting Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill, the final decision makers of the war, behind the scenes.

In fact, to some extent, World War II is not only a decisive battle between the three giants and the three culprits, but also a direct confrontation between the two fronts of justice and injustice on the battlefield. It was World War II that brought the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union together to abandon their ideological differences, and it was also World War II that brought the heads of the three great powers together in Yalta. Because of the importance of the three men, 1945, 18 In March, British Prime Minister Churchill pointed out in his telegram to American President Roosevelt that World War II was a "giant war" between the heads of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union.

Roosevelt, who was re-elected as four presidents in American history in World War II, also made the US military go global and dominate the world.

In history, Roosevelt was the only American president who was re-elected for four terms. 1933, when the Third Reich was just starting, Roosevelt won the presidency for the first time. At this time, the economic depression in the United States is riddled with holes, and the shadow of the great recession hangs over the United States. People are eager for economic recovery and rapid rise. At this time, Roosevelt was keen to set his sights on overseas markets, and by developing arms trade with Japan and Western Europe, he made the first bucket of gold in the war-torn battlefields all over the world.

Before the German launched World War II, Roosevelt focused on controlling the mineral resources in Latin China and other countries, and made legislation at home, which objectively limited the possibility of Roosevelt sending troops abroad. However, when Japan constantly acquired new territories in East Asia and the Pacific and challenged the hegemony of western traditional powers, Roosevelt was unwilling to be bound by the neutrality bill in his bones and began to show a tough stance in his actions. On the one hand, the United States controls Japan's invasion of American interests in East Asia and the Pacific through trade with Japan. On the other hand, Roosevelt maintained constant diplomatic relations with Britain and France, and always paid attention to the development of the European war situation.

Therefore, when Germany's blitzkrieg against Poland triggered the outbreak of World War II, the United States not only went from behind the scenes to the front desk, but also increased its sanctions against the Axis countries. China's developing industrial level has promoted the rapid improvement of the quality of military products, and the weapons and equipment of the three armed forces have become the world leader. In the world, because of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt quickly lifted the shackles of neutrality. 194 165438 In February, the United States passed the invasion bill and formally joined the ranks of the Allies. While sending troops to shoot guns, the United States also obtained high benefits from the allies through the lease bill.

The entry of the United States accelerated the process of World War II to a certain extent and made the United States dominate the world from now on. It was Roosevelt who laid the foundation for the U.S. military to serve as the world police, and it was Roosevelt who sent the U.S. military to all parts of the world justifiably until now. This is why he won the US presidential election four times in a row. He is the first, but there is no second.

Stalin, who was controversial in World War II, won the honor of supreme commander and brought an agricultural country to a cold war power.

As a direct participant in the October Revolution of the Soviet Union and Lenin's successor Stalin, his performance in World War II has been widely disputed. First of all, Stalin's passive defense thought before Germany attacked the Soviet Union was widely criticized. Because Stalin had illusions about the Soviet-German friendship treaty, the Soviet army did not prepare for the battle from top to bottom before the German invasion, and the Soviet western border military region and the battle of Kiev suffered huge losses. It can be said that the defeat of this series of battles has a lot to do with his command and disposal.

In the Soviet-German War, both warring sides had a fatal problem, that is, the high command of both sides directly commanded troops, which made the front-line generals unable to command the battle according to the actual situation of the battlefield, which was also one of the important reasons for the casualties in the battlefield at the early stage of the war. For the Germans, due to the excessive interference of the Fuehrer, the attack on Moscow was postponed and the Battle of Stalingrad was defeated. For the Soviet army, the consequences of overemphasizing attack and neglecting defense have brought disastrous losses to the Soviet army.

Secondly, without World War II, Stalin's position as supreme commander would not be so stable. Before the war, he carried out a series of campaigns to rectify the Red Army generals, which not only caused the Soviet army to lack major generals during World War II, but also objectively made the Soviet generals feel insecure and complacent on the battlefield. Because of his dual leadership system, after the German invasion, the Soviet border munitions warehouse could not be opened, and the frontline soldiers attacked the Germans with their bare hands. Because of his policy of never retreating in wartime, countless soldiers died by their own guns.

However, without Stalin's persistence and composure, there would be no final victory in the Soviet Union's patriotic war. When the Germans attacked Moscow, Stalin was particularly eager for the allies to open a second front on the western front. Although the German artillery fire was enough to reach the roof of the Kremlin, Stalin continued to March without changing his face and gave a performance. It was his leadership and strong will that inspired the morale of the Soviet Union. From this perspective, Stalin deserves to be the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Union.

On the other hand, in the Soviet-German war, the great sacrifices made by Soviet soldiers and civilians are obvious to all. Without the desperate resistance of the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front and the containment of more than 70% of the German main force, there would be no possibility of the successful landing of the Allied Forces in Europe, which is why the Soviet Union has always believed that the landing of the Allied Forces had little impact on World War II.

Therefore, although World War II caused great losses to the Soviet Union, it also consolidated the people's hearts and military minds, forged an agricultural country into an industrial power, and finally became one of the two major military powers after the war. To some extent, World War II reshaped a brand-new Soviet Union and pushed Stalin to the supreme position.

Churchill was the biggest beneficiary of World War II and the most active member of the three. He succeeded and Jill lost.

If we compare Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill together, Churchill benefited the most from the World War II, because the other two were already in office when the World War II broke out, and he was the only one who was ordered by the crisis when the war broke out and directly became the prime minister without taking part in the election.

Some people say that without World War II, there would be no glory of Churchill as a wartime leader, and there would be no room for him to display his talents. Throughout World War II, Britain played the role of a hero loser. There are people involved in every battle, but they are all badly played. Every movement has an English figure, but it ends in a funny result.

Although the British did not want to fight when World War II broke out, it is no wonder that Churchill was a hawk and a hardliner, mainly because of the appeasement policy laid by his predecessor Chamberlain, but Churchill filled this deficiency with his personal perseverance. It should be said that among the three heads of state of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, only Churchill is the most impressive because he likes to be discovered.

First of all, Churchill took a clear-cut stand against the Axis. Before becoming prime minister, Churchill was famous at home and abroad for opposing Chamberlain's negative compromise policy. After he became prime minister, he quickly made up his mind to carry the war to the end, especially his ability to speak well was fully exerted. The V-shaped gesture he created is also a symbol of allied victory, which has been passed down to this day.

Secondly, Churchill is willing to be a green leaf. To be fair, Churchill also had his own difficulties. The British army is in a fog on the battlefield, and the compromise faction in the backyard sometimes makes a scene, but he can coordinate everywhere. At home, he put everything first for the war. Until the end of the war, others took his position as prime minister, and he was still busy cleaning up the mess after the war. Internationally, he personally acted as a lobbyist, meeting Stalin in Moscow and Roosevelt in the United States for many times, patiently explaining why the Allies could not open up a second front, and on the one hand, acquiring weapons and equipment for Britain through the Lending Act.

Third, Churchill was smarter than him. He tried to be opportunistic, but he shot himself in the foot. After the outbreak of World War II, although Churchill nominally supported the Soviet Union, in fact, from Chamberlain, Britain wanted to fight the Soviet Union and let Germany move eastward, including when Germany and Britain were in trouble, Britain was still worried about African colonies. But from the beginning of the whole war, the British army played a supporting role. In addition to Montgomery's victory over Rommel in North Africa, the British army basically fought as a bee on the issue of air defense around the British Isles.

Although Churchill gained fame and fortune, he left no capital in front of the British people, so that when Britain finally reaped the fruits of victory after the war, he not only didn't get the treatment he deserved, but also owed the United States a debt, and he was finally robbed of his position as prime minister.

From the above analysis, it was World War II that brought people from three different countries together, and it was World War II that made them famous in history. Churchill said that the three of them were giants of World War II, in order to indirectly tell people that war needs not only countless soldiers to charge, but also commanders who can make decisions like them. Therefore, when we think of the generals who have made great achievements on the battlefield, we can't forget those who play chess behind the scenes.
