I see that you still have no life considering that you been trolling this board for years now. If you read most history books you see that they usual give France credit for the role played in Revolution. What exactly did the British save the United States from in WWI, a strong argument could be made that the United States had no vital national interest threatened to the point that it should of entered the war. As for World War II the United States played a vital role in the war was certainly not saved anymore than the UK was.
