Britain did a shit ton to help and was the only reason the US was able to do as well against Nazi Germany as it did. The thing a lot of people factor out when talking about which nation is the most powerful is geography, political climate, and the ability each nation had to effectively mobilize its armies and project its power. On paper, Britain was the most powerful "nation" in the world (I put nation in quotes becuase it was a Empire), it controled about a quarter of the worlds population, industry, and resources yet due to most of its Empire being very far away from Europe it was unable to effectively utilize its full might against Germany. France had the most powerful active military yet it wasn't prepared for Germany's lightning war tactics, and the political instability didn't help it against the Germans either.
