Russia started the war in 1939, but in fact, the German invasion on Russia was in 1941.

UK was in a good situation. It could be attaced only by air force, not from land. That's why it was never under German occupation. That enabled to concentrate soldiers from other countries and use them against Germans.
US was much preoccupied by the war with Japan, because this was their real enemy.
