The US did and UK not fight against Fascism because it disliked Fascism. In fact they gladly cooperated with Adolf. Churchill shared many of Hitler his antisemitic ideas.

They fought Fascism because the Fascism was attacking them. and wanted to take over their power.

It was primarily Russia which fought WW2 to begin with. Germany was defeated at Stalingrad in 1943 which could be considered the turning point of WW2.

America swooped into Normandy in 1944 when the war was was basically already won by Russia and Russia was gaining ground on Nazi Germany.

Of course the pretense used by the US and the UK politicians was that it was all about liberation. As they will do for every war, just (against the Nazis) or unjust (Afghanistan, Iraq etc).
