Arsenal Of Democracy

From the early 1840s to the present day, a democracy can be described as a flawed establishment which has been shaped by the power of wealth and control, complex social relations, and most importantly the people’s desire to live a fulfilling life. Throughout this time period the principles of democracy, such as equality, protection of the people’s interest, and promotion of human rights were shifting in order to increase the democracy efficiency. Therefore the continued importance of the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and Constitution remain significant since, in American today, democracy is a system that is continuously being shaped by the people within it.

During the Second World War the government of the United States was adamant about remaining neutral and not getting involved unless absolutely necessary. If the United States had entered the war earlier, they would have faced the risk of being invaded by countries already in the war. An invasion, or any more time spent in war than necessary could have led to more American casualties. The United States was supplying other countries with weapons during the war. Not only was it necessary, it was imperative for the United States to enter WWII. It would have been impossible for the United States to remain neutral while still protecting their citizens.

The United States home front during World War II supported the war effort in many ways and provided a foundation for success. In the beginning President FDR’s slogan for WWII was, “Arsenal of Democracy”, which was a promise that the United States would help the UK fight Nazi Germany by giving them military supplies while the United States stayed out of the actual fighting. As the war continued to worsen FDR presented his “Four Freedoms” speech at the 1941 State of the Union address which were “Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, Freedom from Fear”. This speech was about the national security of the United States and the threat to other democracies from world war. It was a break from the tradition of the United States non-interventionism

“In truth, the United States had been at war for a long time before making these declarations… alerting the British navy of aerial or marine sightings of German submarines, which the British then attacked. The U.S. government undertook in countless ways to provide military and other supplies and assistance to the British, the French, and the Soviets, who were fighting the Germans.” ( Higgs, Mises.org). This clearly proves that The US has been helping the Allies long before they declared war on Japan and it 's Allies. This evidence suggests that the reason the WWII was won by the Allies was because of key communications of the location of the German submarines. This shows that the US involvement in the war was one of the reasons why the Allies won the war. As History.com argued in the History.com website, the US was offering weapon giveout options t ocountries that Roosevelt thought was vital to the defence of the US homeland. “In March 1941, Roosevelt moved further towards making the US the ‘arsenal of democracy’ with the Lend-Lease Act, which permitted the lending, leasing, selling, or bartering of arms, ammunition and food to “any country whose defence the President deems vital to the defence of the US.”( no author name). This clearly proves that the US wanted to Help the countries in the war effort. This evidence also suggests that Roosevelt was willing to give out weapons to protect also suggests that Roosevelt

Before America stepped into World War I and II, nations around the world were not getting along. The fear of radical change and the fear of not having peace and freedom lingered in the air, meanwhile, America did not want to be in any part of both wars. It wasn’t until the U.S. came under attack that they stepped in to help fight off the enemies. America entered both wars in order to bring back peace as well as promote democracy and ideas of freedom, which led them to being a world power.

America joined WWII in 1941 after an attack on Pearl Harbor. Although President Roosevelt had wanted to join the war from the beginning, America remained neutral. This was because the American people were opposed to war and the government needed an incident in order to join without angering the public. Pearl Harbor created the perfect excuse and soon the entirety of America was ready to join the fight. During WWII, there were hard losses on both the Allies and Axis powers and new weapons created horrors.

World War II, one of the most deadliest wars in U.S. history, was started by two sides, the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers. The Allied Powers was made up of the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union while the Axis Powers was made up of Germany, Japan, and Italy. There were many significant reasons why the United States entered World War II. The events that led to the United States joining World War II were the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Holocaust, and the invasion of Poland. The events like the Holocaust and the invasion of Poland agitated the United States, but the attack on Pearl Harbor, greatly damaged the U.S. Navy Base at Pearl Harbor, currently Hawaii. As quoted from President

To understand the big picture, one must understand that World War II began with Germany's attack on Poland in September of 1939 (Brinkley). The United States of America was not directly involved in World War II, although they did support the Allies, until the Japanese(Germany's ally) bombed the American Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. This attack on Pearl Harbor began the Pacific War and directly involved the United States

Roosevelt Biography” depicts Franklin D. Roosevelt as a determined president who had no will to give up. “Despite his courageous efforts to overcome his crippling illness, he never regained the use of his legs”(4). Roosevelt had to endure the disadvantages that polio brought him, but instead of agonizing over his pain, FDR chose to take on the responsibility to aid other polio victims. Roosevelt’s disability led him to create a foundation to help polio victims and to fund the March of Dimes program which eventually established an effective vaccine for the miserable disease. “Moved to create a ‘grand alliance’ against the Axis powers...pledged themselves to a peacekeeping organization”(15). As America battled the Axis powers which consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan during World War II, FDR did not want his country to be defined as a defeated nation. With all his power, Roosevelt united several countries who fought against the Axis powers into a single organization currently known as the United Nations and claimed victory for America. Franklin D. Roosevelt used his own feelings and powers to gain the trust of Americans by affirming the victory of WWII and by making an impactful change for future polio

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. During the war managed they to gain military information and advantages that also contributed to the victory of World War 2.

At the dawn of World War II, the U.S. were in no way a threat to any other country, yet were serving partially as a provider for its European allies. Have been given freedom to do so by the Lend-Lease bill, the U.S provided significant military supplies and other aids mostly to the United Kingdom and other allies involved in the war against Nazi Germany. It wasn’t until December 7, 1941 when America joined the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. This attack later led Hitler crazed Germany and Italy to join Japan in a declaration of war against the United States. The United States were now cornered by forces from different sides of the world. Even though Japan settled down after the U.S. bombings of Hiroshima and

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. Most American did not want to get involved with the ongoing war in Europe. Despite the United States best efforts to stay out of it, they were forced to join after the attack on Pearl Harbor, thus, resulting in their late entrance to the war. Many Americans felt disrespected and attacked. Such attacks lead the United States to stand up for them and take a stand for their country, such acts resulted in the six year war. 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.

Straight from the start of the 1940’s throughout the world constant battle was occurring that soon came to America. On December 7th 1941 was the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan and from that day forward America had joined the World War II which is still to this day the deadliest conflict in human history. World War II was a challenging war that America did not just fight on land, air, and sea but simultaneously on their own soil through the process of propaganda. Propaganda was a major tool of any war which most people do not think about. Winning a war is not just about having strong soldiers, it is also having the full support of the citizens they were fighting for so they could have money, food, weapons, and supplies to keep going.

The ultimate goal of the framers was to create a constitution that would be representative of the people. A governmental system of this kind was an entirely new concept in the world. As defined by Greenberg and Page, “A democracy is a system of government in which the people rule by the many.” The three major parts of a democracy are political liberties, political equality, and popular sovereignty. When the three are practiced in balance this creates a perfect democratic system. The constitution is considered a living being because throughout the years it has changed and evolved to help us create a better and more just nation. Despite anything the United States and California constitutions striving to be completely democratic, however, the California constitution does a better job for reflecting the needs and desires of the people.

Democracy, democracy is a well known form of government known through history. When people think democracy they think freedom, that is not the full truth. Democracy is where people are free and form the government and have as much power as the leaders. Most of the time this doesn't happen. The leaders make the larger decisions without the decision of the people. Athens form of government is a democracy, the difference is that athens people that voted were freeborn white male so it's not a complete democracy but it is fundamentally.The point of this paper is how democracy the military needs and the city-states were able to interact and keep peace. The military needs were many things such as the soldiers. The soldiers came from the greek people,
