Who is the greatest person ever in the history of humankind?

Of course the religious people comes first. But aside from them, I'll pick F. D. Roosevelt. He not only saved the U.S. from depression, but more importantly, he saved the world from Axis domination. I wouldn't want to be saluting 'Hail Hitler, Jr.' everytime I pass around the brat.

Sir Winston Churchill won the war.

Stalin had a lot more to do with winning WWII than FDR or Churchill. And Pearl Harbor had more to do with ending the depression than any of FDR's atrocious keynsian programs and trampling of the constitution.

You're right, but then, don't forget, even without Russia, Americans could have finished the job in a day or two.

The Russians sacrificed so much in that war. They were fully invaded which neither America nor Britain had been and heroically fought the Nazi's back. A touch of winter also helped play its part too.

The rulers of the nations did not win the wars anyway, it was the blood and heart of the combatants and those in control of military strategy. Presidents and Prime Ministers know diddly squat about war, but for me the winners of the war were the great unsung masses and they were from both East and West. It's a shame that the Russians returned back to tyranny and that Britain was finished and that America was only decades away from its own eventual tyranny.

Still, at least the Nazi's were gone.
