America saved the world pretty much in WW2, yup. Now hey, that doesn't detract from anyone elses efforts, wich were vast. Nor anyone elses sacrifice, wich were huge. However, at the end of the day, if the US had not gotten involved at all, the world woulda lost.

If the US didn't bother anyone, nor tried to get involved in the Asian war via supplies and enbargo's. Japan likely wouldn't have attacked Pearl Harbor, but would have gone after Russia, and it would have been Russia with the two front war.

Japan ended up being suckered by FDR, who really wanted to go after Germany, but needed the backing of the American people, who weren't that convinced at the time. Everythig done before Pearl harbor was designed to ensure Pearl harbor happened, so the US could declare war on Japan's ally..Germany. Winning in chess is about being willing to sacrifice certain pieces and godeing the opponant into makeing mistakes.
