Seams like someone should mentioned the British Empire. We'd been "volunteering" Indians for things all over the world for about two hundred years. After WWI, the Empire had never been so big, none had, but it was broke. WWII forced liquidation to pay the US for supplies. The US didn't join the actural war until after it was clear Germany wasn't going to win. That the summary of what I learnt.
