You are profoundly correct with respect to losses though their government became an arch enemy of ours mere months after the war. The other gentleman said that the US 'didn't come close' to being in the top spot with respect to losses which I still deny. The Russian contribution to World War 2 was total. China was already going through a civil war in addition to its war with Japan. Of the those three large nations, America was not invaded and enjoyed relative stability before December 7, 1941. That it sacrificed so much to liberate people so far away amazes me and reminds me that America is an exceptional nation.
