Britain was the only country fighting Germany long before the US and USSR became involved. If the UK had made peace terms with the Germans they would have devoted all their resources against Russia and their entire u-boat fleet against American commerce and there is no way that Russia would have withstood a full scale assault by the entire military might of Germany. In terms of finances and resources the UK sacrificed far more per capita than any other allied nation.
