"In WWII, however, Americans were in the thick of things almost from the beginning"

Yea, if three years into the war is the begining. I don't want to get into a big argument but it just pisses me off when I see all these Hollywood movies depicting America as winning the war all by themselves and subsequently you get loads of Americans who actually go along with it. When it comes down to it WWII hinged on alot of things. If America hadn't have joined then the Nazis would have won but then again, if Britain had fallen to the Nazis like the rest of Europe then the Nazis would have occupied that whole region. Where would America have been able to launch any attacks from? It would have only been a matter of time before Germany would have been invading the USA from the east with Japan attacking from the west. If the Russians hadn't have defended Stalingrad then they wouldn't have been able to put pressure on Nazis either. There's a reason why it was called a WORLD war and it just comes across as a bit arrogant when Americans go on about "How we saved your asses!" all the time.
