The Events Of The World War II

World War2, many events took place in history. In World War2,these events had most been written about the holocaust, ration books, Green Police, and the famous concentration and death camp of that time. In 1939, people started and needed to use ration books. German submarines attacked British and American ships, so many supplies had to be cut short. During this time, the Nazi created an organization of soldiers called “Gestapo” or “Green Police”. Later on, in 1945, Auschwitz was created and became famous for the deaths of thousands of people. While World War2 was going on, many events changed the lives of many people. Some of the events connected to the play “The Diary of Anne Frank” and characters.

World War II was considered to be a watershed event in history by many historians. A watershed event is commonly referred to as an “event or period marking a turning point in a course of action or state of affairs”. World War II was an event that changed history and the aftermath wrecked most ideas of the future before the war. After the war every party wanted to not repeat this war, so instead of peace, the world rearmed with new technologies and humanitarian ideologies to prevent any form of the war from happening again. This turned into conflicts and fights that were more globalized than ever before. This war fueled another conflict that dictated how the world would operate, which was the Cold War.

New Neutrality Acts- During the Intra-war period, the American public became increasingly more non-interventionist and isolationist. This is reflected in the Neutrality Acts of the 1930s, signed by Roosevelt, which were passed in response to the growing turmoil in Europe that would eventually lead to WWII. The acts limited the United States’ ability to aid the United Kingdom and France against the growing threat of Nazi Germany.

World War II, intensified tensions between two of the strongest countries in the 1940s, the United States of America and Japan. On December 7,1941, Japanese planes and submarines attacked the American Naval base at pearl harbor, one of America’s largest bases and the largest base in the Pacific Ocean.The attack caused serious damage to the base, taking out America’s strongest battleships, killing thousands of people, and destroying hundreds of planes. America officially enters World War II. The Battle of Midway was a crucial battle in a long line of other battles fought for dominance in the Pacific Ocean. The Battle of Midway was a turning point in World War II. It was the first decisive American victory and provided a morale boost for American troops after the Pearl Harbor attack.

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.

Some key events of the war were, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Battle Of Stalingrad, and D-Day. The bombing of Pearl Harbor took place on December 7th, 1941. The purpose of the bombing was to prevent the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions they had planned in Southeast Asia, but instead it caused the US to declare war on Japan. The Battle Of Stalingrad was on July 17th, 1942 through February 2nd, 1943. This battle stopped the Germans from advancing into the Soviet Union, but was also one of destructive battle, causing almost 2 million deaths. The last key event was D-Day, which

Of all the years the human race has occupied this planet, we have not come face to face with many events that could bring so many people together while simultaneously tearing them apart-- World War II is one of those events.

As tensions rose between countries, conflict began to swell. Over 20 countries were involved, and alliances were established. The war was fought between two major alliances; the Allied powers and the Axis powers. The Allied powers consisted of the following major countries: France, Great Britain, Russia, and the United States. The Axis powers were Italy, Japan, and Germany. World War II involved more nations, cost more money, and killed more people than any war before its time.

Word War II was a time that caused many people to feel a lot of tension, anxiety and concern. While some wanted power, control, and wanted the notion of superiority. Others were left feeling unsafe, scared, and were worried of what the future would bring them. The uncertainly lead many to feed off the fear and the tension among people rose. No one was to be trusted.

On December 7, 1941, the fate of the United States of America changed forever. At the time, the global conflict known as World War II had been brutally raging on for over two years.

On December 7, 1941, the United States of America entered WWII (“Origins of the Normandy Landing”).

One of the most unfortunate yet necessary aspects of leading a nation is facing the prospect of war. As devastating as war can be, it often is key to ensuring a nation 's freedom and protection. One war that was certainly devastating on both sides of the battlefield was World War II. The tension in the Japanese-American relationship had been boiling for a while, between the military blockade of Japan, and Japan’s intrusion into China in direct violation of the Open-Door policy, but the attack on Pearl Harbor was the exploding point for the War that would eventually lead up to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. The weapons dropped on these two cities were used for a number of reasons, but ultimately this decision would end up
