i could argue it wasnt achieved, because the objective was to free europe from tyranny, but at least half of europe ended up under the soviets, so no, i dont think any of the major war objectives of UK were met, plus, they were a broken country afterward, quickly succumbed to socialism and economic decline.
all around, its a toss up who ended worse, well maybe not toss up, but you get the point.
just another way of saying no one had any idea what they were getting into, or how the world would look when over.
You misunderstand. The allies' "major war objective" was not to "free europe from tyranny." It was to defeat Nazi Germany, period.
And this goal was impossible without the full efforts of Stalin's Soviet Russia.
It has often been said, and is true -- the choice facing Churchill, FDR & other western leaders was not between a Europe ruled by tyranny or freedom. Rather their choice was: would all of Europe be ruled by Nazi Germany, or could they save the western half at the price of letting Stalin rule the East?
They rightly chose the latter.
