World War Ii and America

The United States subsequent to WWII has kept on growing its realm through outside issues and the approach of country building. Much like the British Empire, which happened before it, at its tallness of force the British Empire controlled double the measure of area masses than that the United States. (identified with one effective individual or nation controlling others) influence with America is additionally clarified through cash based achievement. By Finance, the annihilation brought about by WWII permitted America to expect cash based control all through the world. This was the aftereffect of the debilitating of numerous (identified with Europe) nations included in the war, by that/in that way permitting the United States to create half of the world 's GDP.

Americans have been wondering whether President Truman should’ve ordered the usage of weapons which was against Japan back in August 1945. The World War II which involved almost every part of the world. This decision had the citizens thinking every year that passes by as if the President had made wrong decision. This horrible event had the citizens in doubt. The results were not good for the Japanese civilians. Because the of the atomic bomb they had lost not only their families, but also their houses and businesses. It impacted the tens of thousands of people in every way possible.

The United States has had significant influence in many aspects of the world for centuries. However, many cease to remember that we were once one of those influenced countries; a country that allowed others and their actions to shape how we think. Regardless, the country of America has grown into something that not even the founding fathers could have ever dreamed about, whether it be good or bad. America has had exponential growth in numerous areas and due to numerous things, especially the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, and even the Moon Landing.

World War II began in 1939 when the German armies decided to invade parts of Europe, therefore causing Europeans to retaliate against the Germans (World War 1). World War II began because those countries which were

World War II marked an incredible amount of changes in American society. World War II created the opportunity for many different types of technology to emerge (Black, 2013, p. 140). Once the War was over, these new technologies were subsequently assimilated into the daily lives of Americans. Thanks to the G.I. Bills, the soldiers returning from war were getting the proper aid they needed to smoothly rejoin society (Fearon, 1987, p. 287). These retuning soldiers were also given the opportunity to educate themselves and become a part of a skilled workforce.

It was said that World War I would be the war to end all wars; unfortunately U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was wrong. In 1939 Germany invaded Poland and the global conflict, World War II, began. Fought from 1939 to 1945, World War II consisted of the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers. The Axis Powers were led by Germany, Japan, and Italy. The Allied Powers were led by the United States, Britain, France, and several other countries. In total, over sixty million people were killed, making World War II the deadliest conflict in modern history. The intervention of the United States after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 brought the end of the war 4 years later.

The United States of America are unique in that they allow citizens the right to speak freely and the right to assemble. This has allowed citizens to play an essential role in the economy through both their spending and their representation of the workforce. Over time major world events have changed this unique economy. Wars have been known to have significant impacts on the economy, albeit the impact relies greatly in the government and other economic factors. Before World War II the world was undergoing a Depression caused by decreasing trade and compounding speculation. The United States were hit especially hard by the Depression and in 1939 they were still recovering. With war on the horizon, the US used isolationist policies to try

The majority of the history of the United States during the 1940’s was plagued by World War II. However, before the U.S. entered the war, the first antibiotic penicillin was successfully used which revolutionized the medical field and WWII. Also, the U.S. Congress approved the first peacetime draft for the Army. On November 5, 1940, Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president for his third term. This was the first time in U.S. history that a president had been elected for three terms.

Is it possible to know what Americans thought of World War II, if they believed that the war was a just war or whether they did not agree for what the United States was fighting for? The historian Studs Terkel believes he knows this answer and that Americans saw themselves as liberators of an oppressed world fighting for the just war which can be concluded from his famous volume, The Good War. Of course one person’s beliefs should not be believed as easily just by reading a book. A person should base their opinions on something much more analytical than that. In order to decide whether some Americans actually thought that World War II was a just war, a thorough analysis should be done of American life looking at all the facts found. Beginning with American experience before the war then analyzing the experience of the war and the home-front itself and finally ending with the analysis of America after World War II a conclusion can be made regarding the American point of view.

1941 The United States is quiet and empty because they went off to fight in World War II. This Day March 14, 1943, I Louis Slotin currently a physicist part of the Los Alamos National Laboratory trying to help America during World War II. Today Rrobert Ooppenheimer had a big plan for me. When I got to the Laboratory I signed In. Louis “I have big news for you I have scheduled a meeting to talk about how we would keep Aamerica safe” exclaimed Rrobert Ooppenheimer excitedly. The Meeting Will Start In 15 minutes When All the other Scientists arrive. I even made arrangement for some other scientists to come in and help us while America is down in Europe. I got settled and got ready for the important meeting. I walked in and sat down were My boss assigned me to sit. I saw other scientists and faces that I didn 't Recognize. I wonder who this person is in the black sitting over there is. “Please take a seat Albert,” Said my boss. I wonder If that is Aalbert Einstein. No that couldn 't be him. Wait I think that is him. It is and he sits only four seats away from me. That must mean that I get to work with him almost because Enrico said that he categorized the seating so that the scientists were to be sitting together. When All the scientists were here and seated the head of the table my boss got the room quiet to start the meeting.

Early on in World War II it became clear to America that if they were to win, they would need to conduct many amphibious landings in both the Pacific and Atlantic theaters. Prior to World War II any amphibious assaults conducted were done so by large row boats to get men ashore or by taking a deep water port to enable the assaulting troops to unload onto a dock straight from their ship. This was a slow tedious way of moving troops and supplies ashore, which resulted in many casualties. When it became clear that America was going to enter the war, a new method of landing men ashore quickly was going to be needed. A man by the name of Andrew Jackson Higgins answered this challenge, and in doing so changed amphibious warfare forever (Strahan, 1994). The creation of the of the LCVP or Higgins boat gave America a key asset in World War II that changed tactics, strategy, logistics and doctrine.

Many outstanding life lessons have been learned as a result of the two World Wars that were fought on this Earth. World War 1 began essentially after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo June 28th 1914. There is debate as to whether or not this one was the main catalyst but there certainly were other factors that could have played a part. There were political changes happening in major European nations at the time also the industrial revolution was in full swing by then. World War II on the other hand was largely a result of Nazi Germany coming to power behind Adolf Hitler. The Nazi’s wanted to expand not only German influence but also expand German territory. Japan was not happy with the United States at the time the United States had been selling Japanese oil and rubber. Japan was in a war with China and the United States did not approve. Therefore, the United States placed an embargo on Japan. This resulted in Japan waging a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor that then drew the United States into World War ll.

By definition the United States of America became a super power after it jumped onto the world scene following World War II. Citizens of the U.S have always had pride in their nation or at the very least they honor and try to live up to the image that America gives to other Nations. But what has this superpower done? What activities have its military been involved in, what domestic policy and what foreign policy have it made or changed that gives it the status of a superpower?

Between the times when the United States declared its independent from Great Britain until WWI, the US isolated itself from the rest of the world (Brinkley 604). This had all changed right after WWI where we became much more involve in the world, taking on lead roles in all international events or international crisis, for example the Vietnam war, the Persian Gulf war, and last but not least the recent war Afghanistan and Iraq; which still continues today. Today the United States continue to secure its title as the world leader, and continue to lead the world in all major aspects; military, economy and cultures.
