Well, often history works in ways contrary to one's desires.  The fact
is that without America France would have lost in both world wars.

****
In both world war ?
Are you sure ?
Such was the incompetence of the US troops in WWI that they were confined in 
Bordeaux.
Indeed :

Casualities for
WWI : France One and half million _ USA .... a fistfull.
WWII : France more than USA.

My dear friend, I am very sorry, but you don't know what is a war.

You call "Iraqi war", for example, what the world know to be an invasion and 
a mass murder

Sad, very sad

*******.

This is not to say America did most of the fighting in World War I - it
did very very little.  But just enough to rescue France.

In World War II America did little fighting in Europe compared to
Russia.  But also, enough to save France from the likely Soviet
occupation.

> Why did USA helped the Nazi in the 30'S ?

American businessmen helped both Nazis and Soviets (Armand Hammer).

> The USA for us take the blame for WWII.

LOL.  Always somebody else.  France/Britain allowed Germany to rearm
and prevented Poland from invading in 1934, which would have ended
everything quite quickly.  I've seen the desperate German
fortifications put up in Silesia against the coming Polish invasion
with my own eyes.

> Not only they took the blame, but they did not move one finger in 1940 !

Neither did the French.  And ask the Poles about 1939, when the French
violated their treaty obligation to Poland.
