Fuck right off.

Actually, you smug little prick, "what state/city did you visit? I hear vermont is nice in summer." Would be a completely fine question. Because a State is any region of unified government. So Canada is essentially a State, her provinces are also technically states. Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Florida, Bermuda, all qualify as "States in the americas".

Also:

Nobody says "I was in the americas last summer". They MIGHT say "I was in North America last summer" or "I was in Latin America last summer" because those are real things.

As a Geography nazi, yes, you're very right, you should be so smug and proud. But get right the fuck out if you think anyone who mentions "America" means anything but the United States of. It's essentially a proper noun referring to the USA.

This is simple: America is the U.S.A.
"America", i.e., the U.S.A., was named FIRST--long before there was any "South America". In fact, South America was previously called "Colombia" (yes, the entire thing). "South America" and "North America" designations came into use nearly 200 years after America (what is now the U.S.A.) was called America.

Secondly, 95% of the entire world refers to "America" as being the U.S.A.
You trying to change a term that 7 BILLION people use as referring to the U.S.A. on this piddly little 4chan website on the asshole of the internet which gets about 200,000 unique users a day without the inflated bs numbers, is about as fucking retard as you can get.

Maybe it's only in my language, so I will try to explain and translate to english the best I can. Apologies if I'm not accurate or if I'm mistaken on some vocabulary terms. I guess we would say somebody coming from one of the American continents (an "American") is a "valèik". The root would be that he is born on the far continent made of the 2 americas. While, on the other hand, someone coming from the United States of America, would simply be refered to as "dàsalj". In other words: a total dumb fat bitch.

Actually we did it to scare Russia and prevent a third rise from Germany. We did it go show what we could do. It was a horrible waste of life. The Japanese had offered conditional surrender before we did it. At one point Sarah Hussain also offered conditional surrender to the first Bush administration. What we wanted there wasn't peace or to protect our allies. The goal was bigger and less simple. We are a first world country only because of our reputation. The dollars stability actually relies on us being the world's biggest badasses. The idea that we are an eternal stable empire. It's all smoke, and it's bullshit, but our leaders believe it, so they act this way. That's why people are still upset that we lost Vietnam. It's why we got involved in the first place.

Fucking hysterical pic.
So distant from reality.

1. The Germans actually beat the Russians, and beat them badly. The Germans controlled a large portion of Russia during WWII. How anyone could argue Russia "won" anything is bizarre.
2. Americans helped the Russians and the Allied Forces with weapons and food, without which, no one would have been able to fight back the Germans. Note that it was largely a battle of attrition between Russia and Germany as the Russians fled like cowards inland from their own land, giving up countless kilometers. Were it not for the advanced weaponry of the Americans and the food being supplied, the Russians would have collapsed quickly under their own poverty, lack of advanced weaponry compared to the Nazis, and through massive starvation. In fact, Stalin executed over 10,000 Russian defectors who attempted to flee Russia. It was that bad for the Russians and they had their asses kicked by the Germans. In fact, Stalin wrote 4 different letters begging Roosevelt and Churchill to open the Western Front and repeatedly stated in those letters he was losing and being devastated by the Germans.
3. While the Eastern Front was merely a battle of attrition (which Russia lost, and but for the U.S.A. would have lost long before), the Western Front won WWII, and the vast majority of the reason was the Americans. Germany had no fuel to match the daily American bombings and had their fronts wiped out.
4. German surrendered to American Headquarters in Reims France May 7th 1945. How one reconciles that fact (that Germany surrendered ONLY to the Americans, and not even French soil, no less) with anybody winning WWI except the Americans is bizarre. In fact, Admiral Karl Donitz requested in surrender to the Americans that Germany would continue to fight Russia but after Stalin begged Truman in a letter to not accept without unconditional surrender, only then did the Germans stop beating up the Russians.

This. Japan was EXPECTING invasion, and readying not only the military; but training the civilian populace as well. Keep in mind, the Japanese military still followed Bushido in WWII, so civilians; old or young, man or woman were expected to fight off invaders with anything they had, even if it were just bamboo poles.

If the US invaded Japan, American GI's would have had to kill literally every single person they came across. The casualties would have been in the MILLIONS, if not TENS OF MILLIONS. Invasion was not a fucking option.

Along with the rest of the world. Do you call Americans United Staters? No, you call them Americans. Does that include Mexicans and Canadians and Central/South Americans? Technically, yes, it does... but colloquially (on a global scale)? No, it doesn't. It only includes United Staters. So it stands to reason that the only reasons that Americans are able to call the USA and themselves America and Americans respectively is not out of arrogant defiance but out of your inability and/or unwillingness to correct them for the last 250 years.

State = Unified political region.
Country = Basically a State, some consider Sovereignty a requirement to be a country.
Nation = Requires a homogeneity. You have to identify as a "people" a group of similar in heritage/religion/culture/faith/tradition/etc.

"Country of Germany"
"State of Bavaria"
"Nation of Germany"

All are correct and functionally interchangeable in the case of Germany/Bavaria.

No, not all states are countries. As the other anon who replied to you said, google "city state" for a more comprehensive explanation. Germany is a "state" on the world stage... Bavaria is a "state" within Germany. Think of USA as a smaller version of the UN... USA essentially conducts its own internal UN through congress and the senate...

Basically though the United States of America is not REALLY a country in the general sense of the term but rather a conglomeration of 50 countries... that is one of the principles upon which USA was founded and why individual American states still elect governors (essentially the President of the state) and have their own state senators and parliament and supreme court, among other things. I'm no expert and it is a really complicated subject so you're better off researching it yourself (and in your mother language) to be honest.

i love it when faggots claim russia did anything in wwii to 'win' it
it's laughable
there's like a pissload of letters from stalin that prove the exact opposite and no credible russian scholar would ever claim the russians won wwii
russians these days also seem to forget the americans supplied the russians with most of their food and weapons after they lost to be able to turn the tide there whereas the russians did nothing to help the americans
that says it all
the bottom line is that if the americans did not help the russians and did not enter the war and open up a second front thus dividing the german forces, the nazis would have won

>>694553559
They offered conditional surrender. In fact the leader was almost overthrown over his offer then he was almost overthrown for surrendering after the bombing. Which is weird because he was supposed to be worshipped like a god. It's like having the Pope overthrown. No, we did it to scare the piss out the world.

>>694554469
You're sort of right, and sort of wrong. America was originally supposed to be a federation of states, under the Articles of Confederation. This federation didn't work, so they scrapped it and wrote the Constitution, which made it a strong federal nation, rather than a conglomerate of states. They're still technically states in a way, but the federal government has much more than a say then any other country unifying body. The name is just a remnant of the time when the founders were considering the states to be separate nations that would be unified under a strong, federalized alliance.

That analogy is shit.
It's more like if you compare the United States with the European Union. The USA is just a federation of many states in America what's why shit is called united states of America. There's nothing stupid about this name, it's as legit as every name else (except FYROM's).
The EU is short also often called Europe thou many countries in Europe isn't part of the EU.

>>694555005
that's technically correct and the most often cited fact by those (very few) russians who like to claim russia "won", but those numbers don't say anything
1. Russia had been in the war far longer than the U.S.
2. In fact, the numbers are grossly skewed as the vast majority of Germans "killed by a Russian" were not "killed" at all by a Russian, but rather by starvation. You see, the Germans marched into and conquered massive chunks of Russian. When the Russians started losing (badly) and had their army flee and defect (in massive numbers as they were outgunned), the Russians (in most views, very cowardly) burned their own cities and fields and ran further east. This caused the Germans to ultimately starve through the winter. Actual Russian "kills" were a fraction of this.

>The entire western front was just a distraction.
lol
you are evidently retarded or have an agenda
Here's a clue: WWII, which dragged on for years, was only won WHEN THE AMERICANS GOT INVOLVED AND OPENED THE WESTERN FRONT. A "distraction". lol. That's why the Germans surrendered to the Americans, right?

You are one special kind of stupid fuck, aren't you?

revisionist history much?

Again, had America not got involved, WWII would have dragged on for many more years and the Germans, who marched all over Europe and conquered everywhere, and marched into Russia, would have won.

Tell us all again why there are dozens of letters from Stalin begging Truman and Eisenhower to help him, we need food, fuel, arms, etc.?

You only beg for help in a fight if you are getting your ass kicked. Nobody kicking ass ever begged an onlooker to come to his assistance.

You are far to ignorant to be on the internet and should leave now.

Today on Things That Never Happened

>>694555840
Nope.
Throughout Europe, the U.S. is referred to as "America", "the States", and people that live there as "Americans". No one in Europe ever says in anything but a formal setting, the "United States".

No offense to anyone in South America, but nobody in the rest of the world give you any real significance. Very little seems to happen there and it appears to be mostly a third world type of continent. To be honest, my understanding is only the Chileans and Argentinians have ever done anything and even they wouldn't be there except that that end used to be a trade route--until the Americans (U.S.) built the Panama Canal and basically made that route nearly obsolete.

Regardless of exactly how the Russians managed to kill Germans and whether you or anyone else think it "honorable" or not is irrelevant. So they retreated further into their own country and burned their own fields in order to starve out the Germans... so what? That's just acknowledging the fact you're outgunned and using your surroundings/home turf to your advantage. There is nothing wrong with that. War is not glorious. War is not "honorable". You do what you have to do to win because the alternative is the complete and total annihilation of your people, your culture, and your nation.

China owns closer to 18% of the US National debt. That's triple the next foreign nation and it's significant, but not crippling. The bulk 70% of the national debt is held by you and I. Stocks, bonds, and treasuries. You're welcome.

>>694556249
This.
And let's get something straight, nobody ever even talks about continents, people just say a country they visited. If they do, they'd say north America. although sometimes (very very rarely) people do say America to shorten "north America", but since there are only USA and Canada there there's no reason not to specify which of them you're talking about so those people are stupid.
Also >>694556364 is true. Nobody ever talks about South America, it's almost not even mentioned in geography classes from what I remember.
Basically, people mostly call USA "America", which is a standardised social term for USA. But then again, everyone I know, including tech experts call flash drives "usb sticks". No matter the actual logical/scientific term, as long as you can understand what someone is saying there's no need to bitch about it.
