After the geographyDonald Trump attacks history books. The one who has officially changed The name of the Gulf of Mexico in the Gulf of America And from the Pic d’Alaska Denali, the highest mountain in North America, in Mont McKinley, continues its semantic upheaval business. Thursday, May 1, is on the commemorations of May 8 and November 11 that the American president set his sights. In a message posted on its social social network, Donald Trump expressed his intention to officially rename the two birthday dates at the end of the two world wars in « Victory days ».

« I rename the victory of the victory of the Second World War and on November 11, the victory of the First World War ”, Decrees President Trump – even if for the time being, she has not been followed by the proclamation of a real decree. Before this announcement, the man, back to power For more than 100 daysexplained: « Many of our allies and friends celebrate May 8 as victory day, but we did, by far, more than any other country, winning victory during the Second World War. »

«  »We won the two wars, nobody arrived at the ankle in terms of force, bravery or military genius, The 78 -year -old billionaire rengorges, for his part exempt from military service at 22 years for a “bone spur” diagnosed with the heel.

Widely celebrated in Western Europe, May 8, the anniversary of the end of fights against Nazi Germanyhowever is not a public holiday for the Americans, unlike November 11, which has so far bears the name of « veterans » to honor the veterans.

After the capitulation of Nazi Germany on May 8, 1945, the Second World War continued in Asia until the capitulation of Japan was signed on September 2.

Initially established in the aftermath of the First World War, the « day of the veterans » commemorates across the Atlantic on the day of the armistice, a tribute to the American soldiers having served during this murderous conflict. In the 1950s, its scope was extended to honor all American veterans, including those used during the second world conflict and the Korean War. It was in 1968 that on November 11, a day dedicated to veterans, became a federal holiday. Now, commemorations pay tribute to the American soldiers who participated in Vietnam Warin the Gulf War, at the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, among other US military operations.

The assertion that the US military has contributed more to victory against the Nazis than the rest of the allies should make a few teeth cring out on the side of the allies. Particularly on the side of Russia. For years, the country has insisted on the role played by The Red Army Faced with the troops ofAdolf Hitler and hopes that the heavy Soviet losses that occurred during the « Great Patriotic War ». Nearly 9 million soldiers and 19 million Soviet civilians were killed by postponing the Reich’s military campaigns on the eastern front.
