The mistake most people make about ww2 is thinking that the Germans definitely would have won had we not intervened. The war would have taken longer but the Soviets still most likely would have won.

Well we were intervening in the war before we actually joined in. I forget the actual term for it, but we basically had a huge supply line to Russia and England. I think that without that supply line, a key battle would have swung the other way (I.E Stalingrad) and then who knows.

Also, the higher ups in America viewed Russia as an enemy before the war. There was no way FDR could let the Soviets sweep over Europe on the way back. Who knows what the reprocustions of that non-action could have been.
