Totally subjective. The Bosnians and Israelis and British would disagree with you.
Can you expand on this? are you talking about our colonies?

Im sure you would have taken western europe back without usDo they teach history in US?
I cant remember USAF beating the Luftwaffe, I think you'll find it was the RAF.
then Hitler called off the invasion to concentrate on Operation Barbarossa.
All you yanks did was sell us supplies with interest, cheers for that![]()
Well, Bashar and his father welcomed thousands of Somali refugees into Syria without any papers (due to Somalia being the Arab league) after the outbreak of civil war. The gulf countries deported Somalis.
That counts, right?
So? The average Syrian doesn't give a fukk about blacks. This counts for MENA generally.

lets not spin this thread.
but I will say that western Europe was never ours to take back, but obviously the Soviets would have took it without US participation.
The Americans simply made it possible to invade Normandy earlier than the original British plan, what Americans do not take into account is the vast armies at the disposal of the British Empire, India alone could have amassed an army of two or three million in only a few months. Plus add on Canada, Oz, SA, NZ.
As pointed out, we'd already won the Battle of Britain and by 1943 had smashed up the German Army in North Africa. The US Army got it's first taste of battle in the last days of that desert war.

We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
It is said that as the House of Commons thundered in an uproar at his stirring rhetoric, Churchill muttered in a whispered aside to a colleague, "And we’ll fight them with the butt ends of broken beer bottles because that's bloody well all we've got!"

If it wasn't for the United and Germany opening up the eastern front (much more significant than US intervention) your asses would have been toast,
not to mention that the US was secretly supplying you guys pre- Pearl Harbor.
Also let us not forget who took over decisive leadership in Europe while also battling a much fiercer opponent in the Pacific
The Marshall plans admitted primary function was to prevent the spread of Communism, Hardly the most altruistic deedand then went on to essentially rebuild of all Europe AND Japan. Your country was damn near broke after the war, so not only did the United States save your asses militarily, but financially as well.

Also, a German invasion was not far off. Like I said, prior to 1941 it was very possible that the Nazis were going to go up all in your shyt. Hear it from Churchill himself:

Im sure yall had the resources, personnel, and transportation to train and outfit a million Indians strongAnd Iim sure that youd have been able to control your colonies on the battlefield.
We fought the war on two fronts(Fighting on two fronts is easy when neither front posed a threat), gave(sold) you aid and arms... helped you take out italy (we really needed help to fight Italy)... smh
oh so the many defeats in asia and losing burma and hong kong were ok with the empire? interesting.
