From the June 20, 2015 Listverse "10 Ridiculous Myths From Famous Historical Wars" by Gregory Myers.
The list gave four of its ten items to World War II-related events.
9. The United States saved the day for the Allies in World War II.
5. The harshness of the Versailles Treaty cause World War II.
3. The United States entered World War II after Pearl Harbor.
1. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were unprecedented.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
