America was involved during World War Two which was considered the greatest war of its existence. It took a whole nation and a significant amount of manpower to win the war. The United States’ involvement greatly changed the tide of world history by conquering the axis powers. World War Two was the result of Hitler’s Nazi Party comes to power, invading most of Europe and the United States freeing Europe. World War Two has made the world a better place to live because it eliminated an evil empire that would have destroyed the world. Some people believe World War Two had been traced back to World War One. The Germans and their allies had lost the war. The League of Nations forced Germany to pay reparations back to the invaded and destroyed European countries. This leads to an economic crash which resulted in high unemployment and over inflation. Germany needed a leader to bring it back to a successful country. Adolf Hitler had risen to power and created the Nazi party that had taken over Germany’s government. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin signed a nonaggression pact which entailed Germany’s invasion of Poland. Germany invaded Poland with a blitzkrieg attack which means lightning war. Germany’s invasion caused Russia to invade Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Finland which made the rest of Europe highly concerned. With all of the commotion happening in Europe, the United States have reserved itself from getting involved. With Europe on the brink of total war, many countries
First of all World War two mainly occurred because of Hitler. However, the treaty of Versailles allowed for Hitler to take over Germany easily. The treaty of Versailles reduced Germany’s military to rubble. Germany was forced to take full blame for the war and they had to pay for damages due to the war. This infuriated the German citizens. Germany was so weak and angry that it was perfect for a dictator like Hitler to take over. When people are lost, weak and hungry, they need a leader to follow. Hitler was this leader but the only reason he could take over was because the Treaty of Versailles set up Germany for failure.
> When WW1 was finished in November 11 1918, the Allied Powers signed the Treaty of Versie in which blamed the Germans for the war. This treaty made them lose territory, pay for the expenses of the war, and lose military control in which left them in a disastrous state. In the late 1930s, WW2 was about to occur amounting to a tragic event that would later go down in history. A German leader named Adolf Hitler wanted to conquer the world, but primarily he wanted to take Germany out of the misery that was put upon them. He boasted his military without the Allied powers noticing and he gained different territory. Most of all he put ideologies in the German people's minds. He made them believe that the ones that caused all of their defalts and
World War two is remembered as the Good War, but like most wars, mobilization of the patriotic public opinion is necessary . Advertisers came up with a series of mottos to help sell World War Two to the people: One of the major words being “freedom” . The war was supposed to protect Americans freedom, use honorable means, and bring freedom to foreign nations but that’s not exactly what it did. When people think of WW2 as the Good War, many memories of the war are being left out. World War Two was not a Good War in the least bit.
World War II was a very important event in American History. During these times, America had gone to war against Germany, Italy and Japan. The three nations called themselves the Axis Powers. The Allied Forces, America, Great Britain and France, were up against Hitler and the Axis Powers. There were two attacks that made a difference during the war, the Battle of the Bulge and the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Battle of the Bulge and the attack on Pearl Harbor were a huge turning point in World War II and would affect the future of American History.
America's involvement in World War II changed the course of the war and prevented Hitler from completely dominating Europe. At the dawn of World War II, America was not involved. Situations in the western hemisphere turned urgent and violent as Hitler's army invaded countries in Europe. While America watched from the sidelines, it aided its struggling allies, Great Britain and France, by sending supplies (history.state.gov). They placed an embargo on exporting goods to Japan (pearlharbor.org).These actions contradicted America's claim of neutrality in the conflict with the Axis Powers, Germany, Japan and Italy. These contradictions infuriated the Japanese who devised an attack of revenge on the U.S. The Japanese bombed
Some nations had many strong nationalist feelings and that led to an eagerness to expand which contributed to invading countries. Hitler had many desires of wanting to expand and gain more territory. Hitler started World War II by invading Poland in 1939, the German forces had raided Poland on foot and in air. Hitler had looked to regain lost land and fully gain rule of Poland. Three days after the invasion of Poland, Great Britain had sent Bombing Raids on Germany as a response.
In 1939, WWII began when Adolf Hitler, supreme commander of the German army, invaded Poland. Knowing that Hitler was a power hungry madman, and that nothing short of war would stop him from conquering Europe, the British and French declared war on Germany. The Soviet Union, who were trying to find their place in the world at the time of WWII, sided with the Germans. Soon, Hitler’s greed and relentless massacring of Jews broke the alliance between the Nazis and Soviets. Though the alliance was broken, the Soviets began to independently fight the Germans, and did not officially ally with the British and French. (“Start of WWII”) It was not until the Soviets began to suffer immense losses that they asked the British for help. The Soviets and British and French were now the only fighting forces against Hitler. (“Origins of the Normandy Landing”)
World War II had an extensive impact of the United States. In spite of all the battles being fought off America mainland, the war affected all aspects of American life back home. World War II may be known as the worst war in history, but a lot of good came out of it. If it was not for World War II many economic changes, social changes, and political changes may have never happened.
World War II was a unique time in American History. World War II represented the best and the worst that the world has to offer. The atrocities committed by the Axis forces were deplorable actions that would require an astonishing amount of coordination and teamwork on the part of the Allied forces. Hitler, with his insatiable desire to spread his vision of Arian supremacy across the world, resulted in the United States and their European Allies engaging in a War that the fate of the world depended on. As a result of the severity and high stakes nature of World War II the United States would be forced to cooperate with any and all resources available to them, even if it means collaborating with a different enemy, The Mafia.
When Hitler, the ruler of Nazi Germany came to power, he thought the Treaty of Versailles was not just with the Germans and decided to increase the German empire. He started by annexing Czechoslovakia and slowly started to attack nearby countries. This enraged Britain and France who declared war against Germany. Since France fell in the early stages of the war, the United States had to help Britain, in order to defeat Germany. The US was justified in intervening in WWII because the Nazi’s would come to power and they would conquer the European nations which could lead to their increase in power and threaten democracy. The Japanese were also rising to power and trying to control the Pacific.The US was decisive in winning the major battles
When war broke out, there was no way the world could possibly know the severity it would have taken on the people of the world. Fortunately one country saw and understood that Germany and its allies would have to be stopped. America’s Involvement in World War II not only contributed in the downfall of the insane Adolph Hitler and his Third Reich, but also came at the best time and moment. If the United States entered the war any earlier the consequences would probably have been worse.
Many wars have occurred through out the years. They have all devastated countries but some have also given the United States a good and new perspective.World War II occurs after the Great Depression, although this war devastated the country, it also helped with numerous things like the economy and woman's rights.
World war II started by the deep seated anger in German due to the loss in World War I. Hitler a new leader in Germany transformed it from a
As a result of World War I, Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles, made to pay for the war, and had to disarm themselves, which directly led into World War II. Germany went down the tubes after they were forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles. There economy crashed and there money had just about no value. Many people that World War II was just a 20 year break from World War I. They were right because just about 20 years later World War II started. There are many things that could contribute to starting the war but these are the main point and the most recognized.
World War II, was the most widespread war in history, and was one of the most brutal events in modern human history. The global war lasted from 1939-1945 though was definitely a result of past event which occurred years earlier. A huge majority of the world was involved, these essentially formed into two sides; the Allies and the Axis. The Allies involved New Zealand, U.S.A, U.K, Soviet Union, China, France, Australia (as well as more) and the Axis, primarily involved, Germany, Italy and Japan. There were also numerous countries who maintained their neutrality throughout the Second World War, these included, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.
