Pssst -- which side was Italy on until Patton and Montgomery landed on the boot? As for the Germans, we've all read Vonnegut, so we know about Dresden. And as for what happened to the Japanese, you don't have to even mention the atomic bombs -- the firebombing of Tokyo in March 1945 killed more civilians than the second atomic bomb did in Nagasaki
WWII about self-interest? Sure, if by "self-interest" you mean "self-preservation."
