gonna need sources on the last one, because i think the confederacy of greek city-states did it first, but overall OP is right. we’re very far from perfect but try as the world might to deny it we’re pretty damn awesome!
Greek City states tried everything at some point. Just throw some absolutely exclusive and nonsensical words out, and I'm sure a history buff will recognize which state had it for all of 3 weeks before collapsing.

also the nazi's were in a losing state already when the US joined the war, the US just nailed their coffin with a lot less lives lost than would have been without the influx of fresh soldiers, supplies, and money.
@bethorien, You may be thinking WW1. What you posted pretty much sums up US involvement in that war.
As for WW2, when the US officially joined the war in December of 1941, Germany and Japan were at the height of their power, in terms of real estate under their control. Unoffically, the US had been providing materials to Britain and the USSR for quite some times, but until Pearl Harbor, we didn't have a legitimate reason to join the actual fighting.
While a good case can be made that Germany was primarily defeated by the USSR, Japan was defeated by the US pretty much on its own.
