From Wilson’s War Message, one is able to conclude that the US was prepared to risk our soldier’s lives, spend our government funds, and shed blood in order to protect the rights and freedoms that our country was founded upon. In this case, Wilson is talking about Germany sinking our merchant vessels. Over the course of time, the US has portrayed this message again and again. Two clear examples are our invasion of Japan after their attack on Pearl Harbor and our invasion of Iraq after their attack on the world trade center. In final analysis, I believe that the US is willing to put all it has on the line in order to save its people from
Kyle 1 Mr. CHC 2D1/2D2 Tuesday June 10, 2014 Force’s with Bad Luck During world war two, Germany’s leader, Adolf Hitler, decides to break his pact with the Soviet Union and invade. This is one of the major decisions, which in time, helped Germany loose the war. It was also a factor in helping convince the Soviet Union to join the war and fight for the allies. In June 1941 after Germany had taken over most of Europe, Adolf Hitler decides to become greedy. How did Hitler invade the soviet Union, why did he invade the Soviet Union, and how does the novel “Soldier X” by Don Wulffson, describe war to what war was really like.
The American entry into WW1 grew out of the navel conflict between Germany and Great Britain. The Germans were using submarine warfare to cripple the British naval forces and on May 7, 1915, more than a hundred Americans were killed during a German strike on the British ship Lusitania. Because of this, the German government suspended unrestricted submarine warfare in September 1915. German naval officers later convinced the German government to let them return to submarine warfare. The return of this led to the U.S. entering the war on April 6, 1917.
The USSR loses most of these territories to the Nazis in 1941, as Nazis decide to take advantage of what they perceive to be a weakened USSR. After marching all the way to Moscow, the Red Army turns the tables, with the help of the harsh winter conditions and scorched earth tactics. The USSR retakes lost territories by 1944, also gaining all of Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Balkan territories. Successfully launches invasion into
As later results would prove, the aircraft carrier was the dominant ship in the navy. By not sinking the American carriers, the Japanese left the American left fleet largely intact. Of the 21 ships that were sunk on December 7, 1941, all but three were eventually refitted and sailed again under the American flag during the war. When U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan the day after the attack, the answer was a resounding yes. An American that had been deeply divided over how much aid to give the Allies was not united in a common purpose: make the Japanese pay for their attack and rid the world of Nazism and Fascism.
The division of Germany into four regions of interest and also the division of Berlin resulted in an attempt by Stalin to make the Western Allies relinquish control of their sectors. This materialized in the form of the Berlin Blockade in 1848 that resulted in the Allied Berlin Airlift which supplied West Berlin for an amazing ten months solely by plane. Although Stalin relented, he felt resentment toward the Westerners. This accelerated the formation of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) in 1949 which resulted in a Soviet counterpart called the Warsaw Pact. The promises on the part of reunification of Germany and free elections in Poland had not materialized by the time of his death in
In result Hitler began to rise up in his vengeful and expansionist plans for Germany. He was able to play on German resentment of the terms imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. He was helped also by another proposal, by promising those in poverty great jobs and riches causing many Germans and allies to follow Hitler into his racist and prejudices ways. Allied with the Empire of Japan, Italy and several other countries Adolf Hitler, in control of Nazi Germany began to dominate and gain control of Europe, and later, the world. Unlike World War One, The second War used the entire world as its battlefield.

5. a. The United States declared war on Germany because of the Zimmermann note and how it angered the American government as seen and told in the book. "When the note became public, anti-German feeling intensified in the United States" (pg
However, Adolph Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy, and Stalin’s Soviet Union threatened American democracy. World War II brought on new challenges for the FBI. As Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, conquered Europe, the American Depression continued. The Depression provided the opportune time for radicalism in the United States as it did in Europe. European Fascists had their counterparts and supporters in the United States in the German-American Bund, Silver Shirts, and similar groups.
