Bro it's so tiring arguing with you like common man. Everyone above admitted it was the soviet union even expert attributed the soviet union as the main force responsible for changing the course of ww2 in Europe and the final defeat of Nazi Germany...
The thing is you quote and post the right history but you still end up with the wrong conclusions.

American and the allied forces entered the war in 1944.. German has started attacking the soviet union since 1941 at their full military might in a military formation that has never occurred in man's history. Soviet union has already defeated and hamper the Germans even before America entered the war so tell me how America are the major force, by the time Americans attack, Germany major forces are on the eastern front trying to slow the soviet progress because they are already retreating.. Germany cannot even muster enough force to resist allied invasion (and that's because of the soviet)..
You mention Morse code interception yes that is true but do you think the Germans also didn't have they surveillance warfare unit (which is even better than the Americans and soviet).
Despite this communication do you know the Germans where able to counter attack the advancing soviet destroying almost a battalion of red army at but couldn't sustain this due to soviet ruthlessness and persistent.
Baba the major force that contributed to the defeat of Nazi Germany is the soviet union, America and others can come later...
Pls before you counter this just go and read ww2 history check what historians has said about this,pls don't just argue blindly.. Thank you.

Simeonjoe1:
I agree with your submission but not totally..
Yes Germany can't fight a war on two front..
But the turning point against Moscow is due to their resilience and change in tactics also the error and arrogance of Hitler (especially at the persistent battle of stalingrad). PLS GIVE CREDIT TO WHO IT IS DUE, THE SOVIET UNION UNDER JOSEPH STALIN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TURNING POINT IN THE BATTLE OF MOSCOW DUE TO THE WAR OF ATTRITION WHICH THE GERMAN CAN'T SUSTAIN FOR LONG.. Also due to complicated logistics and high casualties on the German sides.. YES THE USA ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO DEFEAT AND WITHDRAW OF HITLERS ARMY BUT THE MAIN CREDIT SHOULD GO TO THE SOVIET UNION AND NOT AMERICA. the soviet union single handedly changed the course of the war in the European front....

Simeonjoe1:
More sense for you boss, they think it's by casualties you measure victory in war.
German lost ww2 even with far fewer casualties. Even the soviet union that defeat Germany has about 5x the casualties.
You winning a war is about the objectives not the casualty (learn from the soviet union)

This is the difference between Nairaland and Quora. People just vomit what they have little or no knowledge about. Unfortunately, over 100 people liked this. What do you know about the disputed territory? How many countries do you think have right to it? What are the extant international rules concerning international waters and territories?

Openbusiness:
You people just keep believing and accepting the lies that America haters dish out without verifying or confirming what is fact from what is fiction

FACT: America DID NOT loose the Vietnam war
FICTION: America lost Vietnam war

Where was the Vietnam war fought? In Vietnamese soil, outside of America. To understand and decide who WON and who LOST. It is important to know what the casualties figures on both sides is. I mean, this is a matter of war. In war, the side with the biggest casualties and biggest damage to their region is the real loser. Ok, how many people died on both sides?

VIETNAM CASAULTIES: it is estimated that about 2 million Vietnamese civilians + 1.1 million North Vietnamese soldiers + 250,000 South Vietnamese soldiers DIED!

AMERICA CASUALTIES: it is estimated that 58,000 U.S soldiers DIED.

Not to mention major damage Vietnam suffered in their country that made nearly 3 million Vietnamese run to America. No single damage on America soil, no single civilian died in America. So please come and explain to the world, How is it Vietnam that WON the war? In what way did they win?

Don't mind them, these jokers are telling me I watch too much American movies, yet I am dropping actual verifiable real-life FACTS of American Military superiority in this world. Where's is their proof of Chinese military might that is equivalent or even close to what America has? They just argue blindly and make insults to deviate from the issues on ground. They want to equate a local champion in Asia to a real global super power like America. In which reality does that work? It won't even work in a virtual reality. Nonsense! They think because China is giving Nigeria loans and bullying some small small countries and island territories or hacking private companies to steal Western technology or talking tough makes China at par with America. America invaded Iraq and unseated Saddam Hussein, on their own, every gaddem country in this world shut up and did nothing about it. Same thing they did to Afghanistan. Everybody turned a blind eye, playing if you can't beat them join them, and they joined America. When America talks, 90% of Europe falls in line like a puppet, they might grumble sometimes, but when push gets to shove, they fall in line and queue behind America's back. Yet someone thinks China has a chance to defeat America in war. Mtchwwwwwww! Jokers

✓ Most powerful military
✓ Most global military formations or presence
✓ Most powerful weapons
✓ BIGGEST weapons arsenal
✓ Most powerful economy
✓ Most powerful allies
✓ Most advanced technology
✓ Friendly surrounding border countries (Mexico is an ally of America. They are not hostile or enemy neighbors. They work together and have strong ties. You can't even call Canada an ally of America, they are more than allies, they are like twin brothers, that's how deep their solidarity and friendship runs.

Does China have any of these things? Mtchwwwwwww

No matter how the narrative goes, your own is to blame and Demonize America.

RTSC:
According to the CIA, their biggest failure was failing to destroy China when they had the chance.

They didn't know China would be the giant it is today.

I hope they can say that for Nigeria one day.

DapperGuy:
So the world should accept China's illegal claim to almost all of the South China Sea? The Philippines challenged China in an international court and won, but China has refused to accept the Court's ruling.

The United Nations Convention in the law of the Sea says that a country may claim an area extending 12 nautical miles from its coast as it own territorial sea.

China doesn't recognize this law. It claims the entirety of the South China Sea and that is illegal.

Take a look at the picture I uploaded, the red lines is what China calls the "nine dash rule". That's how much of the South China Sea China wants for itself. China even claims territorial waters close to Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia etc.

If you guys think the US is a bully, wait until China becomes very powerful. You'll understand the difference between a democratic superpower and a communist superpower.

As it is now, if you post an anti-China comment on social media in Nigeria, and then you travel to China and what you wrote was discovered, you'll be liable for prosecution.

The Mayor of Lusaka, Zambia, was made to tender an apology to China because he berated Chinese nationals resident in Zambia for mistreating their Zambian staff. That's how China operates: dictatorial and high-handed.

Other countries in Asia have welcomed the United States freedom of navigation stance in the South China Sea. What China did to Indian troops over a border dispute is still fresh. They have enemies around them and they want to become a super power. That's now how it works. The truth is,most countries still prefer the US to China.

Ok sir, we have heard you, we will stop today, sorry

Openbusiness:
I pity China, America will send them back to stone age. They have no real allies except for North Korea. If you remove USA from the picture, Russia's number one enemy in terms of global competition for power is China. The only reason they are collaborating now is because of America. But Russia will not fight a major war with US and its allies because of China. North Korea is only interested in local politics. China is playing with fire. They better not start what they can't finish. They should ask the Japanese who were the first to bomb Pearl harbor. How did it end for Japan?

China again

Ballistic missiles launched in response to US aerial activities in a 'no-fly zone' area during a Chinese naval drill.

China has fired two missiles, including one dubbed an "aircraft-carrier killer", into the South China Sea, according to a news report, in a pointed warning to the United States as tensions in the disputed sea lane rise to new levels.

The South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on Thursday that Beijing fired one intermediate-range ballistic missile, DF-26B, from Qinghai Province and another medium-range ballistic missile, DF-21D, from Zhejiang Province on Wednesday in response to US aerial activities in a "no-fly zone" area.

In response, Mark Esper, the US defence chief, said China has repeatedly fallen short of promises to abide by international laws, noting that China seems to be flexing its muscles the most in Southeast Asia.

The two missiles were reportedly fired in the direction of the area between Hainan province and the disputed Paracel Islands, the Hong Kong-based publication added, quoting an unnamed source.

According to the paper, a US U-2 spy plane had reportedly entered a Chinese-designated "no-fly zone" on Tuesday without permission during a live-fire naval drill conducted by China in the Bohai Sea off its north coast.

In a social media post, Liu Xiaoming, China's ambassador to the United Kingdom, said that the US move "severely disrupted" China's normal exercises and "training activities."

Zhao Lijian, China's foreign ministry spokesman, described the spy plane overflight as "provocative actions" and urged the US to stop.

The DF-26B missile, which was formally launched earlier this month, is capable of hitting moving targets at sea, making it an "aircraft-carrier killer", according to the state-owned Global Times.

Chinese Defence Ministry spokesperson, Senior Colonel Wu Qian, was previously quoted as saying that the missile can carry conventional or nuclear warheads and is capable of launching precision strikes on land and sea targets.

With its range of 4,500km (2,796 miles), DF-26 can reach the West Pacific and the Indian Ocean, as well as American facilities in Guam, the British island of Diego Garcia and even the Australian city of Darwin

'Within accepted rules'

Meanwhile, the DF-21, has been described as an anti-ship ballistic missile system, also meant for attacking moving ships at sea.

In July, two US aircraft conducted freedom of navigation exercises and military drills with its allies in the South China Sea, prompting an angry response from Beijing.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity to Reuters, a US official confirmed the firing of the two missiles on Wednesday adding that an assessment was under way to determine the type of missile launched.

The Pentagon, meanwhile, confirmed the U-2 overflight, adding that the activity in the Indo-Pacific region was "within the accepted international rules and regulations governing aircraft flights".

News of the missile launches come as the US announced that it was blacklisting 24 Chinese companies and targeting individuals it said are part of construction and military actions in the South China Sea, its first such sanctions move against Beijing over the disputed seas

The US Commerce Department said the two dozen companies played a "role in helping the Chinese military construct and militarize the internationally condemned artificial islands in the South China Sea."

Separately, the State Department said it would impose visa restrictions on Chinese individuals "responsible for, or complicit in", such actions and those linked to China's "use of coercion against Southeast Asian claimants to inhibit their access to offshore resources".

In July, Washington said it could sanction Chinese officials and enterprises involved in coercion in the South China Sea after it announced a tougher stance rejecting Beijing's claims to offshore resources there as "completely unlawful".

China claims virtually all of the potentially energy-rich South China Sea, but Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also lay claim to parts of an area, through which more than $3 trillion of trade passes each year.

The US accuses China of militarising the South China Sea and trying to intimidate Asian neighbours who might want to exploit its extensive oil and gas reserves.

US warships have gone through the area to assert the freedom of access to international waterways, raising fears of confrontation.

A spokesperson for China's embassy in Washington condemned the US sanctions as "completely unreasonable," and urged the US to reverse them.

"(South China Sea Islands) is an integral part of China's territory, and it is fully justified for us to build facilities and deploy necessary defence equipment there," the spokesperson said.

"The Chinese government has firm determination to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity."

LMFAO, this can only be used against ragtag armies like Taliban. A moderately organized army will easily shoot this one down

Bwahaha lols dermmy the terrorist has come out of his shell to defend his terrorist brothers once more, tell me where you get this history from, hope not from the same western media that you always attack. You are debating with hammed not Stephen or Moses so I know the truth not your taqiyya

Daddysidhan:
what about your jihadist prophet? The war and killings that happens under the guidance of prophet Muhammad was a film trick or what? You people are the most hypocritical idiot on planet earth, that is why an Arab or Islamic country will ever be a world power. The madness of killing people in the name of religion started under your self acclaimed prophet but you guys called it holy war and when the crusaders put a stop to the jihadist advancement and stand their ground from the ravaging murderous Islamist propagators Una dey Yan rubbish. Are you saying the crusaders should not not defend themselves abi they should wait to be killed and maimed like what your boko haram brothers are doing in the north to the defenceless Christians
