Sure we did (the U.S.) Long standing strategic doctrine, not to allow any one European power to dominate Europe. Would have made zero difference if that dominating power was Britain, Italy, France, or Nazi Germany. >> On the contrary, the U.S. did not have a personal stake for motivation when we liberated the French from Germany.

On the contrary, the U.S. did not have a personal stake for motivation when we liberated the French from Germany. Liar. Council on Foreign Relations memo written in 1941: "If war aims are stated which seem to be concerned solely with Anglo-American imperialism, they will offer little to people in the rest of the world, and will be vulnerable to Nazi counterpromises. Such aims would also strengthen the most reactionary elements in the United States and the British Empire. The interests of other peoples should be stressed, not only those of Europe, but also of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This would have a better propaganda effect." thirdworldtraveler.com. Tom
