Best Leader during WWII

[Papewaio]

No Gah! no Vote!

USA... their standard of living went up during WWII.

Where did the great Axis leaders lead their countries to?

One country ended up bisected in half with a wall through its capital.

The other ended up living up to its name of the Rising Sun not once but twice as it was the first country to have nuclear weapons dropped on them.

Australia had a interesting side effect of all the Italian prisoners of war they picked up... they ended up being released into the local community to work, the cane farmers found them such good workers that they ended up being married into the families... they must have been the best treated POWs.

A few of those entries needed names...

Tojo, Chiang Kai-Shek, Mao, and Truman were all considered "major" players at the time (we can forgive the absence of Atlee), but not listed.

The USA really blossomed as a result of the war, as the 1950s showed, and Russia became a superpower (hollow, but no one knew/believed that), but I think a good argument could be made for either Sweden or Switzerland, who smugly played off both sides against one another and came out of the war with roaring economies themselves -- without significant casualties. Some brains involved there.
