America started by storming the beaches of Normandy and from there worked its way inland and across Europe, moving to the east towards Germany. Liberating country's that fell to Germany. France was liberated from Germany on August 25th 1944, when the U.S. and allied troops reached Paris.
Liberating a country just means; "to remove an occupying force and return the capital to the original government." America never took France from the french government and than returned it. We just removed Germany from France. America was in a race with the Russians to reach Berlin, the capital of Germany.
I rest my case.
