sUMMARY: World War II
World War II, it would be a massive destruction, millions dead, and the race for the greatest technology that would vary the outcome. It would be Hitler’s influence as well as strive for territory, Mussolini’s repression and violence, and the Japanese military leader Hideki Tojo’s strong armies and wiliness to fight to the death that would cause the second world war. Hitler would begin using is power to obtain Czechoslovakia and Poland, where Britain and France declared war on Germany, and followed appeasement no more. Eventually with the urge for expansion from Japan, Italy, and Germany they teamed up creating the Axis powers.
It would be the United States fear of more economic stress, and felt the last World War pointless that would lead them to remain in isolationism. Until the attack on Pearl Harbor. The attack on Pearl Habor was done by two wings. Japanese air planes struck at Unitied States ships and air crafts, causing huge explosions, many died and many were covered in burns. The United States declared war on Japan, and Germany as well as Italy declared war on the Untied States, pulling the United States into World War II.
The United States created new military bases on the west coast. The massive amount of men needed for war made it so women were needed to work. Soon, even african americans were being giving more jobs and by being a part of the union were being paid the same as a white man. Science became a very needed, very improtant, key to the United States by the end of the war the United States had learned to make the atomic bomb.
In Europe Italy would be the first to give in. Germany soon was squished between it's enamies, the Allies. Japan would want to push till the very end. The United States would have to drop two atomic bombs, and end the war.
