      Which country benefited the most from World War 2? Was it worth the resources lost for the USSR? Was it worth being nuked for Japan to receive help from the US and grow into the prosperous, bustling, advanced country it is today? Did the US benefit the most when they prevented Germany's rise to power?

    • USA. Definitely, they were better positioned.

    • Russians I think benefited the most. The American economic woes of the 30s would have eventually, but without the opportunity to become the dominant power in Eastern Europe, the USSR would not have become a superpower. And also, certainly not surprised to see nobody voted for Britain, since the British Empire pretty much was dismantled because of the war.

      Correct. Britain granted independence to Israel.

      The Soviet Union could have conquered all of Europe in 1945. But United States possessed the atomic bomb, and that led to the start of the cold war.

      If I understand this correctly you are just backing my original point further; that is, the Ruskies got very strong because of the war and were dominant in Eastern Europe and could have taken Europe at the end of the war. Why they didn't grow further, is a entirely different matter, and certainly it makes sense that once the Americans had the bomb there would be a major deterrent to further Soviet expansion.
