The Discovery Of The World War II

The Tenth’s triumphs in Italy were demonstrative of the value of specialized forces. Their success both was very influential in the events of World War II and in proving the value of specialized forces. Once the government saw how effective the focused training of this division was, they realized that a new era had begun. The Tenth Mountain Division started the period of special forces.

After World War I legacy the Great Depression brought isolationism. The best work produced by President Roosevelt was the Four Freedoms; freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. President Roosevelt was the leader of the Allies, he used this statement as part of his Allies aim. The Soviet Union joined the Allies after being invaded by Germany. Millions of art were sold and reprinted as it publicizes the Four Freedom in 1943. In 1940s after tension between the United States and Japan over East Asia, on December 7, 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. There was no warning of this attack happening as a result United States declared war on Japan. The Good neighbors policy was, brought into place by President Roosevelt and Hoover in 1930s. This was a policy that would help the relationship between Latin American countries and the Unites States. The good neighbors policy would not only help the Latin countries but also the United States with trade and military.

Middle East is strategically important region where mostly world half of oil reserves are located. Three countries: Saudi Arabia, Iran and United Arab Emirates accounted for 57% of total Middle East liquids fuels production. (Liquid fuels production in Middle Eastern and North African countries n.d.) Although due to increased domestic production of petroleum and natural gas, the United States is reducing its dependence on foreign oil with imported liquid fuels, but still oil means a lot to the US as oil prices is determined internationally by what is available for all global consumers. Therefore, to safeguard the security of Oil supply in the Middle East and ensure stable access to affordable oil is in the vital interest of the America. (Mexican crude oil shipments to Europe and Asia are rising as U.S. imports fall

"The era of anxiety and economic depression was also a time of growing strength for political dictatorship. Popularity elected governments and basic civil liberties declined drastically in Europe"(McKay 967). Most say the start of the second World War was due to the depression across the world. Others, like Monetarists, believe that the second World War was no accident. The worldwide depression left countries with dictatorship that seemed to be the wave of the future and therefore the start of World War II.

Orabi wanted to depose of the Khedive Tewfik Pasha and end the British and French influence over Egypt. Soon after the exile of Orabi, Egypt was swayed by the British and French power and was influenced by Europeans to allow Belgian specialists to explore for oil exploration. A specialist, M. de Bay was hired by the Egyptian government in 1883 to search for oil in Ras Gemsa in the Eastern Desert. After examining the area, de Bay and his team began drilling in Nov. 1885 and struck oil with Well #1 yielding at most 10 barrels per day of oil and gas production. After this small but historical discovery, de Bay’s drilled another two wells in 1886 but both came up dry. As a result, the Egyptian government refused to renew de Bay’s contract and appointed two new specialists: a geologist and an engineer L.H. Mitchell and driller H. Tweedle to further explore for oil. Based on Mitchell’s recommendation, Tweedle and his team were able to drill five different wells at Ras Gemsa, all deeper than de Bay’s, and struck oil that had different flow rates in all five wells. Despite the success and spending nearly £100,000, the Egyptian government already had mountains in debt and decided to abandon the drilling wells in 1888. With the economy being at an all time low, the Egyptian saw this

The war began because Germany attacked Poland and the United Kingdom, France and other countries joined forces declared war on Germany. The United States thought the Japanese had spies.The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and got in States involve in World War II .They had to send all Japanese American to these camps. The United States tried to protect themselves because the government thought the Japanese had spies.

World War II was a traumatic event that is known to be the darkest times in American and European history. It was estimated between 60 to 80 million people had lost their lives during time of battle. Before the United States was involved in the war, the country entered a state of isolationism. Americans saw the war was Europe’s problem and wished to stay out of it. However, as the situation in Europe became more urgent, this edged the United States closer to entering the war. The breaking point was, of course, Japan’s sudden attack on Pearl Harbor. Tensions between the United States and Japan had increased consistently years before the attack.

World War II was the largest war and the bloodiest war that the U.S. has ever been involved in. Forty to Fifty million people lost their lives during World War II. This was a war that lasted for about six years and involved countries from around the whole world. The axis powers in the war consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Allie powers consisted of the United States, France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and to a lesser extent, China. It is said that unsettled disputes from the first world war, World War I, is what was the main cause of WWII. Japan trained men for the war starting at the age of nine years old. It is said that of all the Soviet men that were born in the year 1923, only twenty percent survived the war. This means eighty percent of all males died in the war. That’s from one country, imagine how many innocent lives were taken during the war. All because of one man, Adolf Hitler.

As the world knows, World War Two is among the most widely known historical events of our past. One of the major events that makes this time period so unique is the Holocaust which claimed the lives of around 11,000,000 victims most of which were those in the practice of the Jewish religion. A broad observation sure seems to be an eye opener, but what accounts for an even bigger shock was what you would find while taking a closer look on a more micro perspective. Many of the events in the world’s past that dealt with the elimination of a group of people were simply brushed off and ignored. And this in a large part was due to the disbelief that anything so extreme could be done by anyone. Anyone however holds more truth to it than it sounds as not every perpetrator came from a military or political setting. As we are human and possess the capability of education: from examples, what people teach us, and our personal experience. Christopher Browning, Jan Gross, Milgram, and Zimbardo, several significant individuals took it upon themselves to illustrate, illuminate, and help us understand the idea on the reasons involved, which drove so many people to be directly apart of one of the biggest number of killings recorded to this day, the genocidal attempt on the Jewish people.

The Second World War, more commonly known as World War II (WW2), was a globally destructive war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. Although the major causes of the war began earlier the trigger that caused the ripple effect on the major warring countries was Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland. The prime belligerents were Germany and Japan who were part of the Axis powers during the war, warring against the United States, Great Britain, and France who were categorized within the Allied Powers. Although countless countries were included in the Axis and Allied Powers these were the major combatants in the war. Considering how the United States remained neutral throughout the better part of the war they were surprisingly affected on the homefront. WW2 changed American lives in the U.S greatly and mainly for the better. Due to the war, women became the prime laborers in factories while the men fought and for the first time became financially independent; the growing sense of nationalism caused Americans to greatly contribute to the war effort through provisional supplies of food and money which contributed to the war; and most of all the families on the homefront who had sent their men into the war were affected with great sorrow and depression when they discovered the tragedy that had befallen on their loved ones. The Second World War greatly altered the American life for the better for the most part but also cost them a great loss for their country.

World War 2 was undoubtedly one of the most important events in history not only for what happened throughout the six years of war but also the aftermath of the war. Beyond the casualties and deaths this devastating war would open new doors for technology advancement, medicine innovations and creations also changes in music ,art ,sports and culture. Furthermore back home in the United States the role of women was beginning to shape up during the conflict at the other side of the world . Previous verbal arguments between countries escalated and led to previous physical encounters.Such as that of the first world war which took place from July 28, 1919 until November 11,1918 with an estimated 16.5 million deaths in both military and civilian

It is difficult, if not impossible put the events of World War II in context without a discussion about World War I. Known at first as the Great War, the occurrences that lead up to this conflict and its happenings caused a series of events that many see led up to the start of the second World War. Although the two wars are usually seen as separate events, it is important to see the connections linking the two together. The Great War ending was one that saw Germany placed the position of sole guilt. This idea along with many of the agreed upon articles in the Treaty of Versailles in turn help to create the climate in which the great powers of the world find themselves again facing another World War.

During WW1 the life expectancy of a fighter pilot was a couple of weeks or in actual flying time a mere “40 to 60 hours” which can be rounded 2 to 2.5 days (American Aviators). During the use of planes for war it was considered to be a great hazard and many men would not return from this hazard. Then during WW2 the life expectancy dropped very dramatically due to the amount of anti-aircraft weaponry that became readily available to a soldiers on the battle field soon the life expectancy was a pitiful, “1 hour 46 minutes” for bomber pilots, “19 minutes” for fighter pilots, and an amazing “17 seconds” for glider pilots (Combat Gliders). This however did not stop the hungry for aviation very soon the courtiers of the world wanted better, faster, more durable planes and engines which lead to a technologic surge. Soon the a “mulit-bomber” plane would be able to reach speeds

Even after the war, securing the future oil supplies was an economic objective that Great Britain desired in her postwar negotiations with France over the Middle East. Britain´s

When you think or stumble across the Holocaust, you may think of devastation and death around every corner, but there is more that just that. You have to look further and deeper, just to uncover hidden secrets of World War II. Just like the Lebensborn program, or in other words ‘Spring to life’, was a top secret operation that had somewhat of a positive effect, but like they, “With light comes darkness”. Although the Lebensborn had truly been a way to bring life into this world, or too help create the new Hitler’s new superrace, it had really only brought devastation with it. (Source 3 - Jewish Gen)
