Has the brittish government paid america off for debts from 2 world war?

Question

brittish government debt.2 world war

Answer 1

I think we finished off paying the debt from WWI just recently, but we still owe loads for WWII. So, no, we haven't.

Answer 2

Debts to america from the 2nd ww the cheeky b******s!

Answer 3

Yes!It is all paid off now!Have you noticed though!Ever since we have paid off the debt!America has been in deep financial trouble!

Answer 4

Yes, Britain finally, after 65 years, finished paying off her debt.

Most of it was forgiven long ago.

I wonder how they would pay for the 400,000 US kids who died keeping England and Europe free from Naziism. They have totally forgotten, by choice, that, had it not been for the US, England would be a German speaking concentrtation camp now and the few surviving Englishmen would be in chains.

Most of the English, such as the low life on this YA question, are serial ingrates.

England is no longer a power on the world scene and they resent the h**l out of us since we are.

Ignore the nasty vitriolic comments they make.

Answer 5

Yes, finished paying quite recently.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Yes.Finished last year.

Answer 8

yes they are now in debt with us for keeping them alive in Europe without the UK they would be seriously cut off from the most important continent in the world, people only tolerate them because the UK does :)

EDIT: to thoses saying i hate Americans, thats untrue i am clearly stating a well known fact, come to europe and you will see :)

Answer 9

hahahaha! ya think ! no one in europe has,and they have the balls to bust ours..................

Answer 10

Yup, but i think they subbed them for another pile of billions to pay for the repair of the dud nuclear weapons they bought from them..

Answer 11

British not "Brittish".  Learn to spell please.

And yes we have paid them off.  We now even send our soldiers into their wars.

Answer 12

Yes, it's been paid.

Alpe d'Huez:  You're filled with hatemongering British c**p, as most British are.  The UK encourages more hatred towards Americans than any people in the world.  Your country raises them from children to be like that.

Answer 13

Yes - it was either last year or the year before when the final payment was made. I recall it being in the media.

Hope that helps.

Answer 14

yes it has now been paid off,

the next question is where is all the money going now,

it seems it is not being used here in the uk where we seem to help anyone from anywhere in the world.

it is certainly not now being used to help the people of the UK.

Answer 15

Yes a couple of years ago

Answer 16

Yes.

Gentle Giant and Sophie, you must be related to Ray N - I thought he was unique - oh well, wrong again.

Just to give Gentle a few facts more, the total military deaths as a percentage of the 1939 population were as follows:

US - 0.32%

UK - 0.94%

The US lost a total of 418,500 military personnel in WW2, of these 183,588 were in the ETO - can you at least get your facts straight!?

The UK/Commonwealth lost a total of 450,400 military personnel.

If you wish to add in civilian deaths:

UK:  67,800

US:  1,700

Answer 17

ya Alpe, take what Sophie said and put that in your pipe and smoke it, ya Bloody Brit~!!!

Answer 18
