Invading is relatively easy; the hardest part is maintaining a firm grip over vast territories bulging with resistance and the majority of history records I've come across testify of a rapidly weakening German grip over the occupied territories.
That and other factors (such as British and Soviet counter attacks) is more than enough reason to believe Nazi Germany would have been defeated without American aid; even though in that scenario the war might have lasted up until the 1950s, costing many more lives than it did.
American involvemend in the war (disregarding the motives therefor) sped the process of the great German implosion that started in late 1941 and thus saved many lives at a very high cost to American society (in terms of bloodshed of tens of thousands of soldiers) and that is something Europe is still very grateful for. Hence the many American graveyards scattered all over the Western part of the Continent that have been and still are continuously kept in a gorgeous and respectful state.

My opinion on the whole matter, for what its worth.
America was a major contributor during WW2. That's what I believe. Would WW2 have been won without the US's help? Yes, however, it could have POSSIBLY taken longer to do it, and at the expense of more civilian and military casualties.
Would the US had even been involved in the war if Japan hadn't bombed Pearl Harbor?? Maybe, maybe not. But I think, and this is not fact, that the only reason the US got involved in Europe in the first place is because of Germany's alliance with Japan.
And if the US DIDN'T get involved in WW2, then the United States may have never been able to get out of the Great Depression this country was going through in the first place.
Now, with that being said, do you think if the US was around in the 11th century the Crusades may have ended up differently??

No one's denying that, Seven. It was probably the biggest event of the 20th century. I just don't see how arguing about it NOW, when we all know the end result, will get us anywhere but pissed off at each other, especially when this is being brought up in a thread whose topic is still a major issue in the world tocay, with no reasonably viable solution at hand
That's something a lot of people seem to forget as well, but I didn't want to bring it up.
Both WWII and the crusades were relevant to what society looks like today. The crusades being a motive for terroristic attacks till this day. Discussing about history isn't something that needs to be ridiculed. The reason for discussing about history is the simple fact that history has his impact on the present. To be able to understand the present better it's necessary to know what happened before.
