Wolsey, never letting Henry…

The American department of state policy outline in the creation of the Atlantic Alliance that the United Kingdom should ‘retain control of her outlying possessions’ so that certain territories such as Malaysia would not ‘fall into less friendly hands.’ The phrase ‘less…

Americans felt that being in a war was great and something to be excited about. They were proud of their contribution in the war and believed they were doing the right thing. It seemed like a fairy tale, where everyone was happy and war was the best thing that was happening to America. The Best War Ever: America and WWII by Michael CC Adams, supports the idea that Americans were blinded by being ignorant on what was actually happening overseas.
