It is only natural to see America and Britain's role in World War II placed first and foremost in English-speaking countries - likewise, Russia is put first in Russia and former USSR states - that's how the world works. Consider also the Cold War - most western nations weren't particularly eager to celebrate Russia's military history. America and Britain and the USSR all played very important roles in World War II, I think most people know that. It's a bit silly to argue about such a thing 70 years later.

All true.
I'm not arguing about it. Just talking.
But I do think we're getting a very biased views of history taught in the west (but, no doubt it's just as biased in Russia LOL), and that is important to us today, 70 years on; if we're to learn from the past, it's important to understand it correctly.
