Phraseology
The problem here is in how the question was put.
"Who won WWII" has an obvious historic answer based on how history played out: the Allies.
To discuss one of the allies as winning without the rest belittles the effort of the other nations, both behind and at the front lines.
The question you want to ask was "Who Could Have Won WW2?"
It is theoretical, does not deny anyone's actual effort, and can be a much calmer and reasoned discussion.
Nor does it require a single answer.
