America did almost nothing in WW2 your country is delusional. You helped sure, but you were not the reason the Nazi's or their allies were defeated. The UK, Australia, Canada, France (the people not so much the nation), and Russia were the primary powers that are responsible for the allied victory. You come after all of them.
"The Lend-Lease Act was signed into law on March 11, 1941, and ended on September 20, 1945. A total of $50.1 billion (equivalent to $719 billion in 2021) worth of supplies was shipped, or 17% of the total war expenditures of the U.S.[2] In all, $31.4 billion went to the United Kingdom, $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union, $3.2 billion to France, $1.6 billion to China, and the remaining $2.6 billion to other Allies"

You can make an argument the UK wouldn't have fallen, but that's primarily because of Germany's shit navy in comparison, and the UK's superior defense position. But let's not be fooled, UK was not going to be doing anything offensive without some support. Russia just barely held on with that economic support from the US and allies. Good ol' Russian winter and overly confident German generals are where the Nazis really got their peepees slapped.
