The War Of The World War II

World War II was a devastating war that impacted the entire world. It is estimated that nearly 60 million people were killed, including civilians. The fight was between the Allies and Axis powers. While the United States tried to remain neutral in the war and not get involved. However, due to Japan’s military launching

Throughout the course of history, World War 1 was known as one of the worst wars out of all the wars. Though it was one of the worst, the United States had contributed to the Allied war effort during WW1. The United States had contributed to the Allied war with plenty of men, weaponry, ammunitions, machinery, and also providing a major moral boost for the men who were already engaged in the battle. America had also played an important role that had determined the outcome of this major conflict.

World War II is argumentatively one of the largest events in war history. World War II changed that world and everyone who lived during those six years. Many people believe that Adolf Hitler was the central cause for the war, however, it is important to understand that there are many other causes. These include: Treaty of Versailles, Fascism, Hitler and the Nazi party, the Great Depression, and appeasement. It would be extremely difficult to place blame on only one specific person or event for World War II. However, a mixture of many things can and may however hold the blame for World War II. It is crucial to understand the impact that World War II left countries throughout the world, especially since only eight countries declared neutrality during this wartime. Even though only eight countries remained neutral during WWII, it does not mean that every other country in the world was heavily involved in the world. Even countries who were not heavily involved in the war, were still effected by the war itself.

On December 7, 1941, the United States Of America decided to enter World War Two. On that same day, the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor which was the main reason the U.S. join the war. The day directly after that the U.S. join the Allied Powers which consisted of Britain, France, USSR, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa, and Yugoslavia. With the U.S. at war, they needed a way to motivate people so that they weren’t like Germany in World War One. Although during World War Two, the citizens of The U.S. were so impacted by the thought of war, so they helped soldiers and their government.

The poster convinced Americans to help support and prepare not only the America for the war but also provided materials to the Allies. Together as a whole nation America united to help the Allies be more prepared than Germany while at war.

American supported World War I with the War Industries Board, Food Administration, and propaganda. First, the creation of the War Industries Board helped America support the war. The board wanted to increase efficiency by using mass production techniques. For example, instead of making 150 types of ribbons, companies would only make 5 types of ribbons. By increasing the efficiency, America was able produce more goods to send to the soldiers in Europe, thus supporting WWI. In addition, America supported the war with the Food Administration. Food was rationed in America to help conserve resources. Americans began to grow their own crops in their yards called ¨victory gardens¨. The conservation measures resulted in food shipment to Europe to

In addition, President Roosevelt gained the trust of almost all of the Americans after he led the United States out of the Great Depression. The public supported him and felt obligated to fulfill his request of unity and sacrifice. Finally, many American citizens feared communism and that it would spread. They valued and appreciated democracy so much. Almost everyone was in agreement that democracy should be defended. I believe, these reasons were why America came together to support the war. I think the expectations placed on the American people were necessary. It was crucial for the American people to ration, recycle and sacrifice a portion of what they had to help their country win the war. If America refused to come together, the Axis powers would have won the war. The U.S. troops would not have had the resources they needed to stay alive, never mind fight. The mobilization and the persistent work of industry workers to switch to wartime production and manufacture guns, ammunition and other items were critical. The rationing of foods, gas, and even clothing was expected of all Americans. As well as an effort to recycle materials needed for the war such as rubber, silk stockings, tin, cooking fat, and steel; scrap drives were held and young children gave up their toys to contribute to the war. A country cannot win without the support of its people. The fight American citizens had in them really helped

ing allies with other countries and win the Great War. World War II had the same effect World

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.

World War II. World War II began 20 short years after World War I occurred. There were many memorable and momentous events that have occurred during this World War. The events that happened before the war is just as important as the events that happened during the war. It all began with the ideas of Adolf Hitler, the leader of Germany and Head of the Nazi Party. Hitler planned on making Germany the Third Reich by expanding and creating an “Aryan” racial state. Hitler believed that the superior nations had the right to lebensraum. Lebensraum was living space through expansion. Lebensraum gave the superior individuals the ability to gain authoritarian leadership. This is how Hitler came to power. While Spain was fighting

The involvement of the United Sates in World War II is very significant to the outcome of the war, but how we got to enter the war and what happened before the war is very important to why we helped the war cause so greatly. Before we entered the war, we were helping out the allies, by sending supplies of food and ammunition for the cause. What helped us to enter the war was the bombing of Pearl Harbor. On the morning of December 7th, 1941, Japanese planes attacked our naval base in Pearl Harbor, which was located near Honolulu, Hawaii. The Japanese attack lasted for two hours, managing to destroy 20 American ships, of which included eight battleships, and over 300 airplanes. The Japanese also were able to kill over 2,000 American soldiers and wounded 1,000 more, able to send the entire country of the United States into an uproar.

As dawn broke on a Sunday morning of December 7, 1941 on the Hawaiian island of Oahu where Pearl Harbor was home to a giant US Navy and Army. There were more than one hundred warships which included eight massive battleships. The US was suffering from the Great Depression, which made Americans think that they would stay out of World War II. As tensions grew between Japan and America, American sailors and airmen were training just in case the US were to join World War II. Americans had not realized that Japan and America were becoming enemies because the main enemy was Adolf Hitler; his goal was to conquer all the democracies of Europe. In 1940, Netherlands and France fell, leaving England to stand alone against the Germans. President Franklin Roosevelt shipped arms, tanks, and planes to help the British but not America soldiers. June of 1940, Japan invaded Vietnam and Cambodia, Roosevelt then took action. He moved the US Pacific Fleet from California to Pearl Harbor to stand guard in the Pacific against further Japanese advances. Three hundred Japanese bombers and fighters were launched in two waves before and after dawn. Back in Hawaii everyone was following their normal duties, thinking that the waves of bombers were US pilots doing drills. The planes kept coming directly over the harbor lower than usual. Minutes later, bombs fell. (Demuth 1-5)

Money also got America into the war. Money always gets people involved, and America had put huge investments in England and France. If the allied powers (England, France, and other various nations) were to lose, how would America get their money back? They had invested over two billion dollars in them. They did put money in Germany, but nowhere near that amount of money. America’s economy would fall. England and France were also America’s top trading partners, after the war, if Germany and the axis powers were to win, America’s trading would be disrupted.

The invasion of Poland, by Germans troops under Adolf Hitler’s rule, in September of 1939 began World War II. The Germans, along with the Italians and Japanese led the Axis, intent on world domination. The countries that opposed the Axis were known as the Allies and were led by the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. Prior to World War II, England and France were major military powers in the world. The United States had isolated itself following World War I. Following the war, the United States became a Super Power along with the Soviet Union.

America’s joining the war effort gave Britain and France a much needed morale boost. By 1917, the Allies had been
