Battle? HAH!!! The "Battle" of wounded knee was no battle at all it was a massacre and part of a larger genocide
a.colonist were encouraged to revolt against a failed government
It was a humiliating defeat that pushed Cuba into the arms of the Soviet Union.
It would be all of these. During world war 2 it is the United States that supplied almost everything in the allied war effort. Also the United States take longer route and also a hard campaign to combat the German U-boat for supremacy and stable supply route for the allied forces.
