People from all over the United States started to enlist help fight the war. Although Native Americans were previously treated very poorly by the Americans, they too enlisted in the military. The United States was with the Allied powers of the world including Britain, France, Soviet Union, China, etc. fighting against the Axis powers Germany, Italy, and Japan.

USA got into ww2 because of Pearl Harbor. The Japanese bombed the station on December 7, 1941. They came in with 353 Imperial Japanese fighter plains, bombers, and torpedoes. They damaged 8 Battleships, and 4 of them sunk. Almost 2,400 people were killed.

Before the United States joined World War II in response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the great battle had been raging in Europe since 1939. While the British and Russians struggled against the German Reich, the United States remained officially neutral and refused to enter the war.

While world war two was happening, we were fighting against Germany, Italy, and Japan or the Axis Powers. The United States got pulled into the war because of Japan attacking Hawaii at Pearl Harbor killing 2335 Americans. The United States wanted to stay neutral from the war and not be involved at all until they were directly attacked or threatened. According to visitpearlharbor.com “A poll taken in 1939, after the outbreak of war showed 94% as being against going to war.” this quote is showing that almost all of America did not want to go to war at all, but this changed after the Pearl Harbor attacks.

The United States entered the Second World War because of Pearl Harbor. On December 7th, 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in the hope of destroying the United States navy. There was supposed to be two attacks on Pearl Harbor that day. The first attack was to take out the U.S ships and airfields. The second attack was supposed to destroy drydocks and oil reserves so that the U.S can not rebuild the ships. It would have taken the U.S three years to rebuild the ships but Japan did not carry out the second attack, therefore, the U.S was able to rebuild the ships in six months instead of three years.

During WWII, there were hard losses on both the Allies and Axis powers and new weapons created horrors.

The events of WWII destroyed economies, homes and lives. What was most impacted was the survival of the Jews, 6 million, or more, people were killed in the crossfire and in multiple concentration camps. The second world war had one of the worst slaughter events, the holocaust. I believe that another holocaust will happen, and we will be so caught up in our, “kardashian” lives that we will give the victims the blind eye. To support my opinion, you would need to examine the past, the present and, the hopefully evitable, future.

America entered the war after the surprise Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor December 7th, 1941. Before this the USA had supported the war effort via the Lend Lease act. USA before the bombing of pearl harbour had already begun to sever ties with the growing country Japan. The USA also sent reinforcements and supplies to allied countries.

Over 50 countries took place in World War II.  At the beginning, United States of America did not want to get involved.  The U.S. probably thought that they were, in fact, going to stay out of it, but that is not true.  Somehow overtime, the United States did end up getting pulled into the war.

September 1, 1939, was the day that Germany invaded Poland. Germany was seeking back territory that had been lost in World War I. On September 3, 1939, after Poland had been invaded, Germany and Great Britain declared war. Some historians may even go back to 1931, when Japan invaded Manchuria, but this did not fully-scale the war. The United Stated did not enter the war until Dec 7, 1941. This event did not take place until one of our military forts in Hawaii was bombed. This particular bombing is most commonly known as the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

The united states became the strongest nation in the world, thus being named the “good war” due to the outcome of the “good vs. evil” war, economical status, military strength, women being put to work and the African Americans fighting part of war they were already in after the World war II ended.
