Without Canada and in fact the commonwealth forces in total I am not so sure the US would of had anything to come to rescue too so in that respect you could say without them the outcome would of been completely different. Also the war even with the US War machine was not so clear cut even at this point and had the Axis powers made some different decisions the result could easily of been very different.


I'm calling bullshit on both your claims...  The real reason why Germany was defeated was Russia (with an incredible T-34 production that Germany could never match).  USA, Canada, England, etc.. helped but the Eastern front is where the war was decided.  If Germany defeated Russia early then the war would have been very different.  I am still amazed that Japan tried to limit combat with Russia and go after USA.  Germany and Japan should have attacked Russia at the same time which would have put Russia on two fronts.  Of course USA helped the most in the Pacific theater (with other Commonwealth nations helping a lot also).  Russia at the end attacked Japan holdings in Manchuria quickly overrunning them.
