How do the allied nations cope with the fact that they lost ww2? The soviet union (an axis power via the molotov-ribbentrop pact, and a totalitarian dictatorship) was allowed to take over half of europe with no consequences, crushing many small nations who were democracies. Including poland which was the entire casus belli for the war in the first place. The axis attacked poland and held it after the war. Everything the allies fought for was thus in vain.

I thought the war was solely about germany.
And soviets taking half of it doesnt really matter.

The german-soviet war 1941-1945 was just an Axis civil war. The fact remains that the axis as a whole completed its goal in conquering poland whilst the allies were unable to stop it.

So do you mean it would be more accurate to say WW2 ended in 1991, but open hostilities ended in 1945, kind of like how the korean war is still technically on? I could almost accept it, but it's kind of copium:
>be defeated in war
>40 years later the other side collapses due to x reason
>claim victory
And besides this is a view that can only be formed in hindsight. Whilst the people who lived during those 40 years didn't have that frame of reference. So in their eyes, there was just the first part
>be defeated in war

the US and USSR won.
Britain and Germany lost.
