These kind of things always are confusing to me. American's love their heritage because as a country you are young and so tracing your roots is something you do... don't like to admit most of you are German though. :P

Anyway, I'm English, go back far enough, no idea, Anglo-saxon before that well....

It isn't really just an american thing though. Most of the world was at war with Germany and Japan after Pearl Harbor, and contributed in some way. The Italian Campaign had many armies combined. The Soviet side had many armies combined. Very few countries stayed neutral.
