During the 1920s and the 1930s American was in a state of depression as a result of the stock market crash and bank failures. This drove many Americans into a state of poverty and devastation, this was called the Great Depression and in 1939 World War 2 began. This was one of the darkest periods of time for the world as everything was thrown into chaos. Tempted to stay out of the war, the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, brought the U.S. into World War 2. Even though the war was fought abroad, it had a greatly affected many Americans.…

The United States finalized to enter the war to fight for the right of humanity and supported human values as the most important thing in this universe.

The United States joining the war might have been the deciding factor between the Axis defeating the United Nations or The United Nations defeating the Axis. The United State was one of the biggest contributors of troops to the United Nations. If America had never joined the war, or joined even one or two years later than they had, the outcome could have been very different and the world could be very different…

The United States was hesitate in joining the war due to the previous war and the loss of so many soldiers.

Yes, the US should have entered WWI,. Three major factors contribute to this, one being that our allies were about to fall to the unstoppable German’s war machine. Second, the Germans and their allies were sinking ships carrying American citizens. Thirdly, we were experiencing a slump in our economy and needed to drive the prices back up.…
Many Americans thought that isolationism west the best choice for the country at the time. They believed that America should worry about its problems and stay out of foreign issues. Support for isolationism came from many things, disillusionment with the League of Nations and its inability to stop Japanese aggression, thinking they were tricked by big business into entering World War I, and many Americans didn’t want to be involved because of the devastation from World War I and the Great Depression. But, instead of it keeping America out of international issues it actually pushed us closer.…
World War II Was entering World War II a wise decision? World War II was a war in Europe that lasted from 1939-1945, it began with the Nazi’s who killed and imprisoned people in Europe.

How did the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941 turn the tide against the Japanese during World War 2? Michaella Grove Grade 9.1 Introduction: The Second World War was fought between alliances. The Axis Powers were formed by Germany, Italy and Japan.…
Obviously, Mythmaking and the War to me was an interesting reading I thought was good but also upsetting due to the facts that it discussed. If World War II was considered to be a good war then what would be considered a bad war? War is war I think, and no matter how it is put. How can a war be considered to be a good war. In war goos soldiers are lost on a daily basis and they aren’t not the only causalities that are lost.…
There were too many underlying facts that would force the United States into joining the war. No matter what we did in World War I or World War II the U.S. made efforts towards staying out but did other things that would pull us in. With the United States helping Europe in a time of war, without just sending them supplies like we did in World War I over ships, we enacted laws to give us ways to help them. With the Nazi’s, and with the other countries possibly knowing this also, the U.S. realistically threw itself into the war. In both wars with the United States helping the other countries in a time of war led to consequences we could not have seen.…
World War II is considered the most patriotic time in the history of the United States of America. Americans were able to prove themselves like they never had before. Most of the men across the continent signed up to be a part of the war, and the women helped with the jobs that those men left behind. Although this moment is a turning point in history, the greatest time to be an American, the Japanese American people could disagree. The treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II is constantly overlooked though.…
Finland’s participation in World War II was extremely interesting and bizarre compared to the other European countries throughout the war. To begin with, one must know with the backstory between Finland and the Soviet Union. To quickly summarize, the Soviet Union has constantly been trying to take Finland’s land. This conflict started in the early 1800’s and continued on to the very end of World War II. At the beginning of the war, well what started the war between Finland and the Soviet Union, was the “supposed” attack by the Finnish army on the Soviet Union’s territory of Mainila.…
Throughout the World Wars, the United States was apart of the Allies because Americans fell victim to warcrimes committed by Germany and Japan while assiting the countries at war. The U.S. provided many necessities like food, war goods, and money for the war stricken countries. The bombing of Pearl Harbor caused the U.S. to enter World War II declaring war on Japan. A secret military operation built a nuclear bomb that allowed the U.S. to raise itself to superstatus once it was used to weaken Japan. The United States wanted to lead the way to peace, the government began developing a strong military during World War I while providing assistance to countries at war, the U.S. entered World War II after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, at last,…
Edmond Klobucista Mr. Smith US History 2 26 April 2015 Foreign Policy of Containment Containment was a foreign policy adopted by the United States to combat the threat of Soviet influence from spreading across the world. After World War II the Soviet Union looked to spread it’s regime to Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world. The communists believed that capitalism was used to oppress the workers, so by spreading the ideals of communism they would be helping. That may seem generous however, the Soviet Union did also look to have more economic power like it’s rival the United States (Liston 116).…
