Well it was a joint war in Europe being we were a big part of wining it. However we were the ones that actually finished up the war in the Pacific with the defeat of Japan.
Desert Storm was also a joint venture, wasn't just a US victory, but we did lead it and put the most troops and equipment on the ground and in the air.
Also let's not for get Vietnam was a French failure before we ever took it over. We actually won all the battles but lost the war, because our country wouldn't let the military win it. Probably much the same that will happen in Iraq.
