Is the American Dream really what people want? People shouldn’t have to want the American Dream and should have their own choice in how they live their own lives. When people make a decision in their lives that should have a say in it and how things will go down. This wasn’t the case of many people during both World War 1 & 2 because of how harsh the country would be at all times or even when they started to settle things would go south quickly. The US before Pearl Harbor was in a good position in WW2 because of how much we were making and how little tragedies we had. After Pearl Harbor we had to go into war and it changed how everyone thought about us and Japan. The American dream isn’t really the most important thing to anyone outside of

Men and teens would get drafted all the time into the Military leaving the women home to handle the jobs normally men would do. What many people know is that they did their jobs well and were great workers while the men had went away to fight in the wars. What most people don’t remember though is how hard the women fought after the men came home again and told them to go back to being just a housewife watching over the kids while they went to work. They weren’t in the greatest position but the country that the men had just fought is in a worse position in almost every way possible. The women didn’t want to live like that anymore so they wanted to become a US citizen regardless of how bad it seemed to us.

As a nation the US didn’t join either World War until later on in their respective times so we didn’t have to deal with much on the homefront other than being able to live as a nation and be safe. These other countries didn’t have this. In both wars Russia was involved from almost the very beginning. Same with Germany and Japan.

Japan was helping the British with taking out the German Navy and taking over Chinese waters. All of the countries in the war weren’t there to destroy themselves. They all had something against each other or wanted something from each other. someone could argue that Nagasaki and Hiroshima were already in bad conditions in Japan but a counter to that would be that they were already fighting us and all of the other countries during WW2. This isn’t just a one time thing. A lot of the bad things that happened during the wars were caused by the US or by one of our close allies. The US wasn’t just granted the American Dream we had to
