U.S Involvement in WWII Throughout American history the U.S has tried to stay out of national disputes but sometimes it is necessary for them to take action. In all the wars ever fought in the world only two have been fought on U.S soil and one of the wars was between our own country(Civil War).
The U.S is mainly a neutral country but if something happens they are not afraid to fight back. After the Japanese bombings on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7,1941 the U.S began to take part in the war. WW11 was the deadliest war in the history of the world and it was also the most significant. 12 countries participated in WW11 including America. Because of the amount of casualties and history the war has it is easy to say that is was the most important war the U.S has ever been involved in. America’s involvement is also one of the reason the war was ended because we had so much power. Things could have been much different in this world if America did not partake in the war. WW11 officially began the year of 1939. The war began with the immediate reign of Adolf Hitler who was the dictator of Germany. Hitler had the idea to eliminate almost anyone that was different or had different beliefs. He started to kill Jews,Homosexuals,Gypsies , Jehovah’s Witnesses, and even handicapped people.

They came, unwarned. On the 7th of December 1941, the Japanese executed a full-fledged attack on Pearl Harbor. They mercilessly created havoc, with attacks that caused the sinking of eighteen American ships, as well as 170 aircrafts. The casualties were dreadful, with 1,177 of those lost lives had been of the crewmen. The very next day, President Roosevelt declared war on Japan, and thus the United States’ involvement of World War II. Americans of every state were absolutely enraged and bent on their will for vengeance against the Asian country. Within the shadows of galvanized America, Robert Oppenheimer had set his infamous Manhattan Project into action. This project was so disclosed that only a limited number of men truly knew of its purpose. The clandestine project held prior securities to the point in which famous scientists had to use codenames in order to visit Los Alamos, even wives were kept in the dark, and only key scientists could bring their wives along with them. (Source D) This project had been the discreet creation of the Atomic Bombs. Time and time again, this topic had never really dissipated, its controversial who, what and whys prompting generations to debate its palpable purpose. Was the aim really focused for the “good of all?” Was it for America’s self-preservation and wish to promptly put an end to all of the suffering? Many Americans to this day still believe and argue for the usefulness of the atomic bombings, that the droppings were justified.
The U.S has oceans between them and the countries they are against, so they are in no fear of being attacked. This means that if any other country were attacked, the US would have to send troops, food, and supplies. This is bad because we are in no fear of being attacked so we would have to send troops and supplies without getting anything out of it. World War one was a European war, The United States didn’t need to get involved, we lost 115,000 soldiers in World War one and if
To top it off, the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor gave the Americans a legitimate reason to join the war and to portray their intervention as a strictly defensive and protective one. Claiming to spread democracy and stunt the spread of fascism, the United States managed to build its reputation as a protector of the weak, despite its subtle plans to build an American empire.

Over the years America has gotten involved with many other countries. Countries where we have spread our beliefs and democracy. In doing so we have created many allies as well as enemies. Many people tend to disagree on when and where we get involved with foreign affairs. The US was very politically isolated from the world through the 19th century and into the 20th. This isolationist view of the 19th century can be seen through 1823 Monroe doctrine, "In the wars of the European powers, in matters relating to themselves, we have never taken part, nor does it comport with our policy, so to do." Germany’s submarine warfare and Zimmerman’s note shifted our view and got us involved in WWI. (“U-S-History.com”) Today USA is a world super power and not nearly as isolated as we used to be. A foreign issue becomes an American issue when it threatens our security. This can be seen through the Cold War, global wars, cyber warfare, and terrorism. All of these issues show when we should get involved in the past and present.
