The US played a crucial role in both world wars, in which they were militarily involved and provided significant material assistance.
But it is not the country that developed most soldiers nor the one who suffered the most casualties. In World War I USA decided to get involved in 1917mainly due to the intensification of the German submarine wounds against US merchant ships.
Then they mobilized 4 million men, much less than the allied countries of Europe (nearly 9 million for France and Britain, including their colonies, 6 million for Italy, 18 million for Russia). After all, the US losses were much smaller than other countries.
In World War II, The US initially offered assistance to allies and engaged in hostilities after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
According to data from the National Museum of World War II, the US lost 416,800 troops in this war, just more than Britain (383,600), but much less than the former Soviet Union, whose losses are estimated at 8.8 to 10.7 million.
