America was isolated from WW2 and joined at the end on their terms and for their benefit thanks to their location/geography.

That was WWI, they were in WWII from the start.

The US was most certainly NOT part of WW2 from the start.

We provided aid early in the war through our lend-lease programs, but the US made it a point to stay out of the war. That changed after Pearl Harbor.

Okay "from the start" was wrong on my part, but they were an active combatant for most of the war.

They joined the European war late, haven't been around for the most of it time-wise.

They joined in 1943, 68% of time in.

The Germans lost less people fighting against the US in Europe total than in the Battle of Stalingrad.
