WWII had little to do with America? Go look up lend/lease and then remember we were bombed by Japan. The US was intrinsically linked to WWII from the beginning, just not with troops on the ground.

Yes but the cause was not American. And USA was pretty reluctant to be dragged in (not Roosevelt but the voters).

I am just pointing out that you can make up any list in hindsight and make it look like Nostradamus prophecies.

Where is french revolution or the great war in that list?
