Oh sure, America had Elvis, who pretty much gave birth to rock n roll, but it was the Beatles who created the concept of a rock band, as well as the various different genre's that fall within the musical umbrella of "rock", such as pop, alternative and psychedelic.Dakinks said:

Wait what? Before anything it's against the Soviet ideology to wipe out ethnic groups. At best you'll find it with the Cossacks during the Civil War. But to begin with that's not a good idea for the Soviets, right off the bat the Americans and British would turn hostile, cutting them off from a great supply of resources as well as having to continue fighting the war. That and in Russia WWII is called "The Great Patriotic war", when they captured East Germany they didn't start up a genocide of the Germans did they? Sure they had an ethnic cleansing of Eastern European Germans, but that was more to get rid of nationalistic pride that would lead to more conflicts, THAT was in line with the Marxist ideology, you see the same with Josip Tito but he was unsuccessful in the long run so the Bosnian genocide happened. Surely if they would do that to the Jap's they would do that to the Germans? After all they DID capture Berlin, and the Eastern front took up much more resources then any other nation with the possible exception of China.ImmortalDrifter said:

Firstly, that entire statement of mine was sarcasm. Second, I wasn't saying they would commit racial genocide. The battle of Okinawa showed that the Japanese (at that time) would often coerce people into committing suicide or outright kill them before the Americans would get to them. I wasn't accusing the Soviets of anything, they agreed to help America fight Japan in return for American support in Europe. A ground battle in Japan would have been long bloody war in its own right, that's all I'm saying.Warforger said:
