Other than the Soviet Union (Russia), only Britain remained in Europe; all other nations were either occupied by Germany or neutral. Winston Churchill had been lobbying President Roosevelt (FDR) for two years trying to get the US into the war. According to Churchill, if FDR didn't help Britain, England would fall! Consequently, the US was forced to save Great Britain from losing it's war with Germany; under the name of "Save Europe First" (really meaning save Britain First), which in turn evolved into defeat "Germany First." The US population at the time was absolutely determined to revenge the Pearl Harbor attack by going to war against Japan...so FDR had to do a "lot of talking" to convince congress and the US Army, Navy to do otherwise. The US Air Force and US Marines were part of the Army & Navy respectively during WW2.
Considering German advance in technology such as jet and rocket aircraft and the V-1 cruise missle and the V-2 rocket, it was a brilliant decision.
Germany surrendered in Western Europe on May 7, 1945, and to the Russians in East Europe the following day. The Japanese surrender wasn't until August 15, 1945.
