1. The USA in WW2 Saved Europe and the USSR!
Did Germany prevent the USSR from invading all of Europe?

No. The USSR was not only incapable of invading ANY of Europe, it was also - according to Nikita Kruschev - incapable of resisting Nazi Germany's invasion. "If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war. If we had had to fight Nazi Germany one on one, we could not have stood up against Germany's pressure, and we would have lost the war."
The US and Great Britain actually made it possible for the USSR to defend herself and later advance on Nazi Germany. Through Lend-Lease, the US gave $11 billion in military, rail, and factory equipment along with munitions and food, and Great Britain gave #430 million of the same. That amounts to over 90% of Soviet production of rail equipment, 30% of military aircraft, 60% of aviation fuel, and between 30 and 40% of tanks in 1941. The US sent 22 million tons to Europe to support her own forces during WWII. Lend-Lease sent 18 million tons to support the Soviet Union. While Great Britain provided significant support to the Soviets through Lend-Lease, this was only possible because the US sent $32 billion in aid to Great Britain.
Did Germany prevent the Soviet Union from invading all of Europe? No. The US did, with the significant help of all Allied forces. Furthermore, it was the US that equipped the Soviet Union adequately to engage Germany effectively on the Eastern Front. Unfortunately, it can also be said that it was the US that supported and made possible the takeover of Eastern Europe by the Soviet Union.
