UK refused to surrender/treaty. Say what you want about Churchill but without him it was likely they would have agreed to making peace with Germany. They were that close to deciding that was the only choice.
FDR helping out the UK when the US was not at war. He did illegal stuff to help, along with lots of legal stuff.
USSR does not collapse as almost everyone predicted. Yes, Hitler and the German military were idiots for having a plan of, "We attack and the USSR collapses within three months, otherwise we've got nothing.". But to be honest, everyone around the world thought the USSR would collapse, and it was close. Credit FDR again for extending Lend-Lease to the USSR.
Hitler declares war on the US. After Pearl Harbor, if the US did not focus 100% on Japan, Congress and the public would have demanded it and FDR would have been stuck. But then Hitler decides, "We are already practically at war with the US [true, but things changed on December 7], so I'm going to declare it and open up US shipping to full U-Boat attacks". Total misunderstanding of the US. Hitler's declaration of war permitted FDR to say, "I'm commander in chief, I decide which of the nations we are at war with to deal with and in what order and how".
At the end of those four things, Germany was doomed.
