In ww2 america must of done the most horrific things imaginable to people, but hollywood has that lost in time, with there romantic, america comes to save the day rubbish.
What gives us the right to tell other nations who can or cannot be extradited? Why are we so well liked when the citizens of our nation are so far in debt that many can barely afford to make a living? What gives us the right to dominate the world when we barely have a hold on our own nation?

The American people go along with it because they are as a society militaristic. They love the armed forces and have a fondness of guns and weaponry. The mainstream media constantly tell them which country's are "bad" and which world leaders to hate, and many go along with it.

The British were on the verge of defeat if America had not come into the war you would be speaking German.I suggest you spend some time reading about how well the British did after Dunkirk and until the US entered the war. The British at best had a couple of months left before they would have had to surrender.
In 1939 Britain only grew enough food to feed one person in every three - Nazi U-boats threatened to starve the country into defeat. But it was not just food - Britain brought many other things from abroad (notably sugar, tea, fruit, oil, rubber and wood) and now all these supplies were threatened by the U-boat attacks. They were in such dire straights that there industrial capacity was stopped people were starving and this is why Churchill realized the only way for the British to survive is if he could get the US to enter the war.
PS Churchill even witheld intelligence reports on subs hoping the germans would sink an american ship thus getting America to enter the war.
