World War I And The Collapse Of Great Britain 's Power

WWII was filled with constant terror and unexpected attacks. On December 7, 1941 Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese attack devastated most of the pacific fleet stationed in Pearl Harbor. The devastating attack left an aftermath of 2,403 Americans dead, 12 battleships sunk, and 150 aircraft destroyed (Japanese Attack). After the attack many Americans were filled with fear and anger. Only one day after the attack, President FDR signs the declaration of war against Japan (US declares war on Japan). The attack on Pearl Harbor caused the divided US to unify as one on going to war against the Axis powers.

November 1943, the US Congress debates America’s involvement with Europe. They received numerous reports about mass murdering of Jews, but they did not have any evidence. On November 4th, 1943 a German newspaper wrote "Its actually true that the Jews have, so to speak, disappeared from Europe...” Although at the time this seamed odd, America had their hands full a year later. On December 7th 1941, Japan declared war on the United States with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This act was only significant due to it being the first attack by a foreign nation on American soil since the American Revolution. The bombing of Pearl Harbor, as well as Japans alliance with Germany and Italy, left the United States government no choice but to declare war on Japan and the Axis powers.

2 massive atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. America hoped for mass destruction and death, which is the exact result given. Only 5 days after, Japan gave in and brought World War II to an end (Hall, 2003). America reached victory, and no one would ever doubt or underestimate the United States ever again.

The United State’s direct involvement in World War II officially began as soon as the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Prior to that event, America had been providing arms and equipment to England but stopped short of any direct military confrontation with the Axis. The War in the Pacific was considered Asia’s War and the European War was considered a local conflict. US-Japanese relations had become strained in 1941, though America felt secure that her naval fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was powerful enough to discourage any aggression from Japan. On July 24, 1941, Japan occupied French Indo-China (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos). Two days after that, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt froze all Japanese assets in the United States. American trade

World War I was caused by the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria in June 1914. However, World War II was caused by the political and economic instability in Germany, along with the bad conditions of the Treaty of Versailles . When the treaty of Versailles was put into affect, Germany acknowledged responsibility for the war, which also meant agreeing to pay enormous amounts of money for war reparations and losing land/territory to those who

On December 7th, 1941, Japanese fighter planes staged an attack on U.S naval and military forces based in Pearl Harbour, Hawaii. In around just two hours, America suffered from approximately 3,435 casualties including 2,000 deaths. The shattering defeat cost the U.S, 8 battle ships and around 200 airplanes. The following day, President Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan. This was approved, and more than two years into the conflict, America had eventually fully committed to the war.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. More than 2,000 American lives were lost, as well as 187 aircraft and 18 naval vessels. This tragedy finally brought the United States into World War II on the side of the Allies. The United States, Great Britain, and The Soviet Union became The Big Three. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin headed these countries, respectively.

The Great Depression played a huge part in the start of World War II. War is good for business. It creates jobs and generates wealth. With everyone becoming very poor and needing some sort of hope, the conditions for the growth of fascism was perfect. Because of this, many countries turned into dictatorships. This played a major part in the rise of Hitler who gave them this hope. Some countries like Italy and Japan turned to building an

Pearl Harbor is the name given to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, by the Japanese against the Americans on December 7th, 1941. Although there was growing tension between the United States and Japan dew to sanctions and frozen assets put on Japan, the attack was still a surprise for the world. 2400 Americans were killed in the attack, along with many ships and nearly two-hundred airplanes.1 The attack united the American people and under Franklin Roosevelt 's leadership, America declared war on Japan, with a unanimous vote in the senate and 388 to 1 vote in the house, with the lone dissenter being an avid pacifist. Soon after, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States and the United States declared war on the Axis powers in turn. America had finally joined the Second World War. When Roosevelt gave his speech that war was being declared, most of the country was behind him. There were fears that

World War II was considered as one of the deadliest war in the history. Many innocent civilians died due to the aggressiveness of the Axis powers because of this actions the Allies wanted to overthrow the Axis powers in response to its aggression and to establish a peaceful post-war. The United States decided to join the war along with the Allies after Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, which destroyed a lot of United States battleships. President Truman should have dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because of Japan’s bombing attack of United States naval base on Pearl Harbor which resulted in the United States to declare war on Japan, to end the inhumane actions of the Japanese soldiers to its

On December 7, 1941 Japan launched a surprise attack on a U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii with the possibility of forcing the U.S. to join World War II. About 2,400 Americans were dead, 21 ships had been sunk, and 188 aircrafts were destroyed. On August 6 and 9 of 1945, the U.S. retaliated and dropped two atomic bombs called Fat Man and Little Boy on the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The U.S. was not justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan because of the locations that were bombed, the terms of the Potsdam Declaration, and the lack of previous bomb testing.

On December 7th, 1941 Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was the target of an unannounced military attack by the Japanese Navy. This resulted in the United States entry into World War II. After almost 4 years of war, 400,000 US casualties, 6 months of air strikes on Japanese cities and an impending defeat of Japan, an ultimatum was delivered to Japan by the United States: surrender or be destroyed.

As a result of World War I, Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles, made to pay for the war, and had to disarm themselves, which directly led into World War II. Germany went down the tubes after they were forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles. There economy crashed and there money had just about no value. Many people that World War II was just a 20 year break from World War I. They were right because just about 20 years later World War II started. There are many things that could contribute to starting the war but these are the main point and the most recognized.

On December 7th, 1941, Japan bombed the United States Army, Air Force, and Naval Bases, in Hawaii at Pearl Harbor. The next day on December 8th, 1941, the U.S. entered World War II declaring war on Japan as they provoked us to do so with their sneaky aerial attack. Behind the scenes of the extensive fighting, American

World War II has been considered one of the worst things to ever occur in history. Violence, death and aggression took place in the 1930s and 1940s in certain European nations. German leader, Hitler played an important, yet a very big role during this time. With the rise and domination of fascism in Germany and Italy, the goal was to maintain peace, established by the Treaty of Versailles ended up in major disaster. World War II began with the poor economic conditions in Europe after World War I and the confrontation of clashing forms of governments and in the end it brought about positive and negative changes of the world. World War II began on September 1st, 1939 when Germany invaded Poland; this invasion led to the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, The Great Depression, and the Holocaust.
