And America defeated Japan. Not China.
Маркус, if only your history was as busy getting informed as your posting are busy....
Chiang Kai-shek, who led China [ until the CCP came to power in 1949 ] was an ally in the Pacific War.
If you had consulted any of the online source, the allies against Imperial Japan were "The major Allied participants included China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands. China had already been engaged in a war against Japan since 1937. "
"We" is a pronoun which includes our allies. Even the little Netherlands.
