The Thing cops out of the Civil War-but where will he go or what will he do next?

[Harlekin]

To put it another way, the war in Europe was ended by the fall of Berlin.

 

[Doctor of Doom]

Yes. Because God knows virtually none of World War II took place in Europe. Once Berlin had fallen, the war was de facto more or less over. That is not to trivialise the sacrifices of those who subsequently fell in the Japnese/American war, but that was just that: A Japanese/American war. THe 'World' war as it were, was over. There was no doubt that Japan would lose in any case. Of course naturally America decided that slaughtering thousands of inoocent Japanese women and children was preferable to losing many of their own troops. But that's for ANOTHER thread.

Stop trying to make it seem like two different wars when in fact everything WAS tied together.

Us having the bomb had a HUGE impact on everything else.

Personally, I think those last days of the war with Japan could almost be considered a sort of Epilogue to WW2. And obviously, just because it's an epilogue, doesn't mean it's not apart of the story as a whole.

Ben should take Alicia to Rio for Carnival and stay until things quiet down back home or until the Hulk returns from Planet Hulk with his invasion armada looking for revenge on the Illuminati group of heroes.

On the world? Yes. On the World War, or it's result? No.

own troops. But that's for ANOTHER thread.

Very true, fair point.
