If America didn't pull the weight for Europe in the 2nd world war, Europeans would be wearing swastikas right now.
We'd probably be speaking Russian actually. Hitler committed warfare suicide by attacking the Soviets and opening up a second front.
Let's not downplay Americas role though. It was a big turning point. England was in serious bad shape by the time we entered the war and Hitler had taken over most of Europe and Northern Africa at that point.
IP I think what Teedub is trying to say here is that if good ole MURICA' didn't enter the Euro theatre of the war, the Soviets would have continued to push towards past Germany in order to fully defeat and "liberate" German controlled West Europe.
I always like to think how strong Nazi Germany would have been had they properly used their human resources available and ran a somewhate efficient system.
They mismanaged their gains in EE and didn't properly use Western Europeans to their advantage.
