> If you’re referring to WWII, the US had very little role in ending the war in Europe. While today we understate the role of the Soviet Union - who suffered the highest casualties by far - in winning WWII, Britain and the Soviet Union probably wouldn't have survived without American Lend-Lease aid. While the famous quote attributed to Stalin - "the British gave time, the Americans gave money, and the Russians gave blood" - may be apocryphal, Khrushchev wrote in his memoirs: "I would like to express my candid opinion about Stalin's views on whether the Red Army and the Soviet Union could have coped with Nazi Germany and survived the war without aid from the United States and Britain. First, I would like to tell about some remarks Stalin made and repeated several times when we were "discussing freely" among ourselves. He stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war. If we had had to fight Nazi Germany one on one, we could not have stood up against Germany's pressure, and we would have lost the war." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease
