The US fought in Europe too, and was going through a devastating depression with a lack of food supply.
A lack of food suppy!!. oh, that explains why they were exporting it under lend-lease to the Soviets and British
And did the Chinese free the Philippines? Did they ever fight at the Battle of Iwo Jima and win? I think not.
Are they the only battles listed in US history books?. Im sure the Australians, British, Chinese and Indians would appricate those battles being labelled as defining moments of WW2 history

History books published in the US not the history of the US.

If you think so then why don't you show me actual proof from a history book printed in the US, it's your argument.

your quote i used was intepreted as "Thats why they are called US history books not world history books"
Im talking about the fact that you point to two of the largest battles the US undertook to understate chinas involvment in the war. Here is the quote im refering to "And did the Chinese free the Philippines? Did they ever fight at the Battle of Iwo Jima and win? I think not."
History books in other countries put different events to highlight the wars progress. You clearly are only mentioning US battles to highlight the combinded deficency of the "allied" war effort

I do believe some indian forces had already joined the japanese, what a coup would that have been if Indians liberated India. On the down side, you might have ended up like the Finnish in the war
But the point was the US did not single handedly defeat the japanese and was a effort among the "allies"

You do realise that the japanese were fighting the chinese, british india and other countries like Australia as well.
China alone had 1 million japanese soldiers and a large number of japanese fighters fighting there

btw if you don't remember Normandy never took place until 1944, so there were 2 years were the US was only fighting in the pacific, north africa doesn't really count. plus i don't think there was any food shortage, the US experience great economic growth during the war, not a recession...
