The USA played an outsized role in propping the Soviets and British when they were getting curb stomped.
The Soviets played an outsized role fighting the Germans in the east and tying them up and grinding them down.
America played an outsized role in the war in the Pacific and helped the allies win the war in Europe. The pacific was our war, Europe was just a theater.
It’s hard to say the Soviets could have won if the USA hadn’t helped the allies open another front in Europe, but it’s also impossible to say they couldn’t have. Maybe in the absence of lend lease their territory would have been large enough to get themselves off the floor on their own. Who knows. It’s all hypothetical.
They all played their role. Nobody did any of it single handedly.
