Casualties in World War II:
Soviet Union: 26,600,000.
United States: 407,316.
And the Russians got to Berlin first.
So, no, the United States did not do "more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result 'on' World War II." That is just propaganda.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
