In WWI the USA came in at the very end of the war and turned
the tide against the Germans, but Americans hardly did most of the
fighting, let alone dying. In WWII, in the European Theatre, the
Soviets were responsible for 85-90% of Nazi casualties, so one
can hardly claim that the Americans won the war in Europe. The
war in the Pacific is another matter, as the Americans won that
war pretty much by themselves. And lets not forget that the French
greatly assisted the USA during its Revolutionary War, with most
experts agreeing that the British would have won that war without
the help of the French.
