this just in, dying isn't how you win
Without material support from the West the Soviets would have collapsed. Clearly we didn't do it alone, many nations sacrificed greatly, the Russian people the most. But they would have sacrificed a lot more if they didn't have $11 billion in materials: over 400,000 jeeps and trucks; 12,000 armored vehicles (including 7,000 tanks, about 1,386 of which were M3 Lees and 4,102 M4 Shermans); 11,400 aircraft (4,719 of which were Bell P-39 Airacobras) and 1.75 million tons of food from the US and 4 million tonnes of war material including food and medical supplies from the UK. The UK munitions totaled £308m (not including naval munitions supplied), the food and raw materials totaled £120m in 1946 index. In accordance with the Anglo-Soviet Military Supplies Agreement of 27 June 1942, military aid sent from Britain to the Soviet Union during the war was entirely free of charge.
That's all true, but saying that Americans "beat the Nazis and saved the world" is extremely arrogant and disrespectful of all the other nations that sacrificed so much, including Britain and the Soviet Union.
Idk I think if America didn't get involved the Germans would've steamrolled Russia and Britain would've tried negotiating a cession of hostilities and independence for France, Netherlands, Belgium etc. America invaded North Africa around the time of Stalingrad so if the Germans weren't distracted there and on the Atlantic coast they could've turned all the guns on Russia. I mean they blitzed through Ukraine and Belarus when they were focused only on the ussr. Mussolini also screwed the Germans when he couldn't beat Yugoslavia and Greece
