This is a very old and well debated topic.
The facts are that the Soviet Union "won" the second world war with UK and American aid. Without it, the war would have dragged on possibly for years, but would have been won anyway.
The fact that America helped defend the UK and then took part in the liberation of Europe, is perhaps one of the greatest acts in its history. Millions more lives would have been lost and Europe would have descended into a dark communist totalitarianism were it not for the US.
But to say that the US "saved" Europe is not correct.
The US assisted both Britian and the Soviet Union. All sides should be proud of their contribution.
Could be an interesting topic for another thread.
