Commentary

Although the United States was a late entrant to World War I, it collaborated with its European allies to defeat an aggressive Germany. In World War II, American forces assisted European allies far more substantially in defeating Mussolini’s fascism and the Nazi war machine of the Third Reich by May 1945. It’s likely that Europe would have been rolled over by Hitler’s Wehrmacht without the help of the U.S. Armed Forces.
