As for your argument regarding the allies holding Germany and Japan at bay until the U.S. entered the war, I say this to you: Germany was taking over Europe, they basically walked into France, they were bombing the U.K. on a daily basis, their occupation spread rapidly which took control of many countries and it was on the verge of threatening occupation of the former Soviet Union. So you mean to tell me that was the plan? That's how the allies kept Hitler at bay, by allowing him to conquer most of Europe? By allowing him to occupy certain countries with almost no resistance at all?
Actually I think you need to examine your knowledge of history.... the Battle of Britain was over and the Allies were bombing the Germans too, and more importantly the Battle of Stalingrad was ending. The USSR was the deciding factor for the defeat of Germany.... by the time the US had entered the war the German's were already on the defensive in the east.

As for Japan, following the bombing of Pearl Harbour, Canada, the UK, and Australia declared war on Japan before the US did.
