The key to the Allied victory in Europe was primarily **the vast personnel and industrial capacity of the United States and the Soviet Union**. Both countries significantly contributed to the war effort through their mobilization of resources, manpower, and production capabilities, which ultimately overwhelmed the Axis powers. While other factors, such as the lack of commitment from Italian forces and the success of resistance movements, played roles, the substantial industrial output and sustained military efforts of the US and USSR were decisive in securing victory in Europe. The development of the atomic bomb did not play a role in the European theater, as it was primarily used in the context of the Pacific War against Japan.
