"If it wasn't for us you'd all be speaking German!"

This is a serious question cause I've gotten this or similar responses quite a few times and I am really confused.
What kind of history are people in the US taught? Are you seriously taught that it was America that ended WWII? Because what we learn in Europe (or at least in many European countries) is that the US were the last ones to join and the war would never be over if it wasn't for Russia (and the Russian winter).
Do not try to attack me! It is an actual question and I need serious answers, it's like people on the two sides of the ocean are getting two completely different versions of the story.

Thank you (almost) everyone for your answers.

One thing I found quite interesting was the fact that some of you answered the questions in a "yes it was Russia/the US that ended the war but with the help of *enter the person's home country*".

Another quite interesting thing was that some of the lovely Brits decided to go that extra mile of cockiness in order to answer...even though the question was not about Britain.

Finally, when a question requires a simple "yes or no" answer (-is that what you were taught? -yes/no/ I don't remember) focus on that instead of trying to explain why you're so proud of your country!!
