You should really learn some history before you start calling others stupid. I have read a few of your threads and it is obvious that either you get your info from incredibly biased sources or just dont uses sources at all. Almost all, if not all, of your arguments have logical fallcies within them, and it seems like your only goal is to try making Australia look like some super power or much more important than it was.
Furthermore the question asked is stupid to begin with. What are you trying to prove? That if America wasnt as big and it's resources werent as plentiful, it couldnt have done what it did? Is that even a question worth discussing? If Australia had only 1/20 of it population, could it have made the same contributions it did with a population of 7 million? Of course not.
I'm not belittling the Aussies that helped us and made sacrifices during the war. I wouldnt mind having discussions with you if you'd stop acting like a 12 year old.
