America's greatest contribution to WWII were the resources they supplied the allies with, as well as the aid given afterwards. Their military operations were overall pretty miniscule when compared to the English and (especially) the Russians. Also, America stepped in militarily first when Pearl Harbour was attacked. The US declared war on Japan, which made Germany (and Italy) declare war on the US, thanks to a treaty between the three. They didn't "step in" to fight back the germans, they were dragged in because the Japanese got over-ambitious. Not to diminish their importance or anything, but people tend to over-emphasize US war efforts during WWII (then again, I suppose there are also people who under-emphasize it, so hey).

If it's supposed to mirror WWII, then (at least with the comparisons you've made), the Americans would have to be a large, wealthy & currently neutral nation with well-equipped soldiers. I can't think of anybody who'd fit the bill. It certainly can't be Hammerfell, Skyrim or Black Marsh at least. They could take it one step further and have this nation be from another continent, although at this point they wouldn't be able to pull that off without it looking like a complete ass-pull. So unless the argonians have been doing some serious nation-building (and hoarding) in secret these last centuries, I don't see how the current situation could mirror WWII.

There are some comparisons that could be drawn (amount depends on how much you wanna stick to history), but I just don't see it.
