          Sometimes america does something right. Normally someone else is doing something way worse though. Holocaust stopping is good points in my book.

            We basically only did it to stop the great depression, though, not for altruistic reasons.

              It was a power grab. The US intervened softly to stop the growth of the third Reich into a hegemon, funding Britain, France, and the Soviet Union.

              When Japan hit Pearl harbor Roosevelt was forced to war and honestly he and his team were probably itching to get in there are flex American power to shape events directly. Truman finished things out trying to box in the soviets once it was clear the allies were gonna win.
