The wartime economy brought us out of the great depression and created the post war boom. Nazi rocket technology and engineering masterminds shaped our modern military, space program, and arguably way of life. Without either we never would have become the world super power we are today.

If you really want to twist your brain.. could our Allies have even won the Second World War if America didn't enter?

My guess is maybe not. For example.. The Russian military didn't even become the effective fighting force it was until the American lend lease program offered them the tools and vehicles to truly mobilize the Red Army, which was the only way they were able to counter the German Blitzkrieg.
