Yes, because I guess back then we disliked paying insane taxes (although it was partially our fault, but srsly, wtf England.. French & Indian war was sooo not our fault) and kind of asked nicely a couple times for some wiggle room. Of course, our kind English overlords did not grant that much at all so it kinda sorta lead to a nice little war..
yeah

If we hadn't pulled away, the world would probably be speaking German. There also probably wouldn't be any Jews, homosexuals, etc...
Also, French + last 100 years = Fail.

Let's seriously not go any further than that. For the sake of everyone.

Granted the allies sure did help, but then again, you probably would have gotten your asses handed to you without the help of the U.S.

The soviet union had like 1 rifle to every 3 soldiers at one point.
It was badly equipped to fight a war, were it not for the Germans screwing up so much and the invasion being delayed by 6 weeks, the soviet union would have lost in a matter of weeks.
And in regards to America and WW2, America did so well cos they acted like pussy's for the first 3 years of the war and ignored the
murder occuring in Germany and its territories.

That's very debatable considering how many German troops were pinned down in Western Europe and North Africa fighting. It is very probable that the Germans could have won entirely or at least produced a stalemate on the Eastern Front if the Western Allies had not invaded Europe or North Africa.
One of the best examples of this (although a bit later in the war, 1943) is the Allied Invasion of Sicily which occurred during the same time as the Battle of Kursk in Russia, this prompted Hitler to reposition large numbers of forces to the Mediterranean theater at a crucial time in the Battle of Kursk. General Von Manstein who had a fantastic record of successes in the Battle of France and the salvation of the Eastern German Army after Stalingrad, asserted that if the Panzer forces had remained in the battle it would have been possible to in fact win the battle and cut off a huge chunk of the Soviet Army from their other forces which was the entire reason for the battle in the first place.
Another example is the Western Front after the Allied breakout of Normandy and the subsequent race across France, by the time Market Garden rolled around (Sept. 1944) more of the SS units (elite) were facing the US and UK than were the Russians who were the more considerable ground threat. This would have never been possible had the US never entered the war since it was the US who gave the much needed material and manpower push that gave the Allies the chance to invade France to begin with.
Edit: If anyone cares to read it, "How Hitler Could Have Won World War 2: The Fatal Errors That Led To Nazi Defeat" is a fascinating book about all of the mistakes and wrong turns Hitler and his minions took during the war and how they could have instead succeeded in their quest for conquest.

I don't need to read a book I already know.
For example during the battle of britain if the bombing had continued to stay on airfields then the invasion of britain would probably have been a success.
