A couple of minor points, Churchill had plenty of chances to negotiate a truce and even during "The Darkest Hour" refused.
Yes America did provide (sell) loads of hardware but their troops were badly trained and their leaders refused point blank to learn the lessons learnt the hard way by the British in the war with Germany. an example being that the USAF insisted on restarting day raids, ignoring the RAF advice to fly by night resulting in huge losses.
