as an American will say yes I know that we did not carry the entire war keyword entire but I know our involvement helped the UK, France, etc. in both wars a huge amount especially World War II. What infuriates me the most is about World War II almost everyone in the European continent seems to exaggerate the Soviet effort like they are the ones who won the world by themselves people will get upset about Americans saying they won the war themselves but then do that same thing acting like the Soviet union won the war themselves. I wouldn’t say that Germany was done for after they invaded the Soviet union as the Soviets themselves kind of sucked not even just saying that with an American bias like “oh communism bad” but like they actually sucked making their troops do meat wave attacks, forcing them to stay in the front otherwise they be killed by their own people, etc. Stalin himself said that the USSR would not have been able to stop Germany if it weren’t for American lend lease. Don’t get me wrong they did help a lot in the war effort but they were no where close to being the hero’s people make them out to be. Especially since they started doing nearly the exact same things as the Nazis with the concentration camps, armed authoritarian occupation, etc. In no way WW1 would have been lost if not for America but WW2 gets a bit more iffy as it all depended on Hitlers mood and his actions he made many crucial mistakes that lead to all the allies taking him down. He could have not declared war on America after Pearl Harbor, he could have kept his word with the Ribbentrop pact and not invaded the USSR, etc. Imo could the allies have won WW2 without direct American involvement? Yes perhaps but if Hitler had not declared war then we wouldn’t even have gotten directly involved anyway. Assuming Japan bombing Pearl Harbor would still happen it’s inevitable the USA would get partially involved. Could the allies have won without any American aid? I’m not to sure. Overall it was a team effort in both conflicts American involvement should not be understated and Soviet involvement should not be overstated. All did their own amounts of effort some greater than others but it was still a team effort and played vital roles in their own rights.

Percentages can be very deceiving as they depend on multiple factors sure the USA has fought a lot of wars and conflicts but it’s also very young compared to others even though I wouldn’t call nearly 250 years “young” because then you could look at the British they have fought objectively more wars than the USA but at the same time they are a lot older so the percentage might not be as much.

@oliversherman2414 I wouldn’t say they were inevitable, considering the Soviet Union actually almost joined the axis

@michaelsamuel9841 simply not true. I guess you’re denying the innocent lives killed by Japan in Pearl Harbor and the Philippines and I guess there is a slight argument for your statement for World War 1 but even then wasn’t our fault Germany decided to send a letter to Mexico telling them to invade.
