Sorry, but I don't think your view of history is correct. Germany bombed its route all the way to Paris in the west. Their Stuka divebombers were famous. They had practised in Spain beforehand as well.
I wonder if Russians would think that they were not bombed by Germany?
The first massive bombing raid in the UK was of Coventry. Raid after raid was sent on the same night and the city was flattened. They even coined a new verb to describe it: to coventrate.
People came out of their shelters to find that the street they lived in was no more. Many of those who were lucky enough to still have a house found that their places of work had been demolished.
Coventry was an industrial centre that made much to support the war effort. In true British bulldog style, it was not long before productivity was even greater than it was prior to the raids.
Ports were bombed. Even Swansea, in Wales, was bombed. They tried to bomb the airfields out of existence as well so they could have air superiority. All that happened prior to the more famous London bombings.

Oh, and wasn't there a small raid on Hawaii?
