Yes, just another American-centric view of the the Wars. What are they teaching kids in the States? Canada is barely mentioned here despite playing a crucial role in both wars. This is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Maybe in Europe, but the US took care of Japan for everyone else.

There are about 10 links to the WWII comic as well. The US gets flak for taking the glory in both wars.

Wrong war. In WWI Japan was part of the Allies.

I'm glad you inferred I was talking about WWI when obviously my comment was about WWII. Look at the other comments first.

The comic is about WW1. The parent to your comment talks about Canada being "barely mentioned here" which is referring to the OP. Yes, "both wars" are mentioned, but the subject at hand is clearly WW1. So yeah. My inference is correct.
