Since the turn of the millennium, a major revisionist offensive has been launched against the longstanding belief that the Second World War in Europe was a “good war” waged against Nazi evil. The offensive has struck many of the countries that participated in the conflict. It has rolled through Germany, where attention has shifted from the Nazis’ perpetration of unprecedented crimes against Jews and other Europeans to the suffering of German civilians at the hands of the Allies. It has also struck Eastern Europe, where Poles, Russians, and the citizens of the Baltic states have battled over claims that Joseph Stalin was just as responsible as Adolf Hitler for causing the war and committing comparable atrocities. But it has been in Great Britain and the United States where the revisionist trend has recently been the most apparent. As is shown by British historian Norman Davies’s assertion above, growing numbers of Anglo-American historians and journalists have explicitly challenged World War II’s reputation as a good war by re-evaluating its origins and consequences. Some of the revisionists have alleged that the conflict erupted not so much from aggressive German expansionism as reckless Allied interventionism. Others have decried the Allies’ manner of waging war, arguing that their brutality differed little from that of the Nazis. Still others have counterfactually suggested that history would have turned out better if the Allies had abstained from fighting the war entirely.
