Re: First American citizens killed in WW2
Not a world war? Given that the combat which starting in 1939 involved combatants from all continents (colonial or not), and that one important naval battle was fought in South American waters, it seems a very narrow perspective to suggest otherwise. That it had many earlier conflicts (some still on-going) contributing to the fragile state of international relationships is quite true, but that has rarely been different.
Perhaps a better argument can be made about the end of WW2, whether or not to count the continuing local dispute with Japan as worldwide. Hmm, things do look different from other perspectives, don't they?
