Overwhelmingly the Soviet Union, which country gained most from the war is a different question, two nation’s economies were in boom by the end of the war – USA and Canada, Britain and the Soviet Union were nearly bankrupted!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"contributed more"
The United States undoubtedly contributed the "most" in terms of industrial output, armament and money!. Of course, we had by a significant margin the "most" of these things!.
The Soviet Union just as undoubtedly contributed the "most" in terms of human suffering, loss of life, and destruction to their homeland!. Far more than either the United States, UK, or even France!. The typical Soviet view of history was that the United States waited to launch D-DAY until after they were assured that the Soviet Union had won the war!.
The death toll in the United States was about 418 thousand!.
The death toll in the Soviet Union was over 23 million!. The Soviet Union was only about 10% bigger than the USA before the war!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Big Three: Militarily and economically, the U!.S!., Britain, and Soviet Union were all essential to the Allied victory!.

The Soviets suffered more than any other country, with China coming in at a close second!. Poland and France also contributed greatly and suffered horribly!. Many other countries made contributions that probably sped up the defeat of the Axis, but in the end they were expendable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's really hard to say!. Without any of the big three (USA, USSR, and UK) I don't think the Allies could have won!. Each was a crucial member of the alliance!. If I had to pick one I would pick the USA!. Not so much for the quality of their contribution but for the breadth of it!. They were involved in every aspect of the war, combat, production, lend lease, strategy, technology and largely kept the alliance together!. But as I said, if you take any of those three out of the fight, I think the Axis would have won!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The USA, because of its incredible industrial might!. Plus the women of the USA!. When their men were away fighting, they were building tanks, planes, artillery, etc!. While in Japan and Germany there attitudes were different!. Hitler wanted all his women to produce children for his 1000 years Rich and Japanese women were subservient to men and were not thought to be of any intelligence to do any good in factories!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As soon as the US became involved they made a big difference in the conclusion of that war!. Nobody wins in a conflict of such epic proportions, but Japan did surrender, Germany's dictator Hitler killed himself and England and Europe suffered both collateral and human damage!.
The unlikely alliance of the US, Britain and the Soviet Union played a large role in resolving the conflict on a number of fronts!. See article below as this is just a tip of the iceberg!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you look at what happened after the war, I'd say France and Germany as they got a lot of money to rebuild their factories from the U!.S!. Marshall plan!.

The U!.S!. probably contributed more in money and equipment but Great Britain more than likely contributed more in manpower and lost lives!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, the USA paid the most money during the war!. but Britain did most of the work!. They lasted the whole time, while the US joined in later!. So GB, because I said so ^^ and we finished studying WWII =)

I'm Asian-American, not a British =D (Just wanted to let ya know)Www@QuestionHome@Com
