Britain is an island, Germany tried to get to us by sea and sky many times and failed on each attempt before USA even joined the war. 80% of nazis killed by Russian forces, the majority of the rest by Britain and its empire, but sure the US saved the world again 😴

      I’m American I can assure you absolutely no one does and I don’t know why the guy with a British flag is answering your question. In WW1 our entry did speed up the end of the war but it was lost for the central powers before our entrance. In WW2 we definitely did. If we didn’t enter the Soviets would’ve taken all Nazi controlled territory, because they would’ve reached Berlin before the Brits since Churchill wanted an invasion through Sicily. If we didn’t enter the whole continent would’ve been communist.

    2) Contrary to popular belief (in your country anyway) America didn't enter WW2 'to save little old England'. It entered the war as a result of the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbour then that little angry fella with the Charlie Chaplin moustache along with the baldy Italian dude officially declaring war on the USA.Try getting your history written from books instead of Hollywood screen writers.
    3) We didn't lose to the IRA. Should you ever stop to see what's going on outside of your own country and some cases your own state, the you'll find that Northern Ireland is still very much part of the UK so hardly an IRA victory was it?
