Best Answer

The M4 Sherman and it's variants were important to the victory of the allies in world war two because it was a cheap, easily and quickly produced medium tank. What this means is while the Sherman was less heavily armored and had a smaller main gun than the German tanks it was going up against it was lighter and faster and could be made faster and cheaper. what this meant is that the Americans, Canadians, and British could literally get more bang for their buck. Because they could produce so many tanks so quickly it meant that tank battles usually turned out to be 1 tiger tank VS 4-5 Shermans, and because of this the allies crushed the German armored division's.
