France instantly surrendered in return for giving up half their land and becoming Vichy France so hell no.
Most of Britains fighting was defensive. Initially against the Nazi invasion, and very large part was actually defending their British colonies in Africa from the Nazis. Hitler wanted to take control of the oil which Britain defended.
It was not until after the Nazis were defeated at Stalingrad that the Brits actually started ground invasions of Nazi territory.
This certainly helped the Soviets because it weakened Hitler and forced the Nazis to fight multiple fronts. But from another point of view it can be seen as the UK and US pouncing to take half of Europe as the spoils of war, after the Soviets took the heavy losses to defeat the Nazis.
