Davies Annotated

Davies, N. (2006). How we didn't win the war...but the Russians did.

The writer is trying to establish the beliefs of the Russians and all of the other countries and their beliefs and takes on who was the most influential country involved on the winning side. The writer then explains that all countries had influential participation in the war, however the Russians were the one who made the greatest push against the Germans.
“The Russians, for example, are clear that the Red Army played the dominant role in the defeat of the Reich, demoting the Anglo-American war effort to secondary or tertiary importance. What is more, like the Americans, they insist that the “real war” began in 1941, relegating the events of 1939-41 to a mere prelude.”
“The forces of democracy played their part in the defeat of fascism, but were left controlling less than half the continent.”
This article contributes to his book on the matter. This connection is necessary and includes his discussion on his topics.
This article can contribute to my idea of differences of opinion and knowledge as it coincides with this difference. It conflicts with the main topic and gives me another topic for discussion and eventually, supporting my topic.
This is not connected to the other articles and sources as it is known to be normally “connected”. I am taking an example of conflict in the matter and linking it to the overall idea, which should strengthen its overall effectiveness in defending the thesis.
