Has anyone written a book on WWII arguing that it was a war between Europe and America ending with the victory of the latter?
Europe destroyed by barbarism. Either the spring of barbarism or too weak to fight it. Its power of example gone, its colonial empire lost, its creativity spent (for how can you be creative when you fear barbarism is the result of your efforts?)
The Soviet Union? Not really a factor in the war. What the Soviet Union was Russia already had been in the nineeteenth century. A despotic presence on Europe’s gates. The real question was a question about Europe and America, including about which of the two would face Moscow
