In April 1917, the United States entered World War 1 on the side of England, France, and Russia for many good reasons. Such as Germans using unrestricted submarine warfare, the Zimmerman Note and the U.S. “ turning tides of the war”.…
Arriving just two decades after the last world war, the Second World War was the most widespread and deadliest war in history. WWII involved more than 30 countries and resulted in more than 50 million military and civilian deaths. This Second World War was sparked by the invasion of Poland in 1939 by Adolf Hitler. WWII lasted for six long years until the allied forces of Germany and Japan were finally defeated. During World War Two the U.S. shut down all their car factories in order to turn them into war machine factories.…
Despite all the lives lost and all the effort Germany was unable to crush Great Britain’s morale. In 1941, the United States started giving support to the British army in the form of weapons and ammunition through the Lend-Lease Act. After the horror of Pearl Harbor, America was directly involved in aiding Great Britain any way they could. In early 1942 Churchill and Roosevelt established a “Combined Chiefs of Staff” and agreed that the defeat of Germany was the first priority. (Winning the war against Germany was more important than the war in the pacific against Japan.)…
Summary: A short overview of events that led to U.S. entry into World War I. Ensuring payment from the debt the Allies had built up with the U.S. and ensuring safety of U.S. shipping were two reasons for the U.S. entering the war.…
While it is true that moral pressures and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor contributed, in reality the United States had been looking for ways to deal with Hitler. If the US had not stepped in and Britain had fell, Roosevelt’s vision of an open, international economy would not have come to fruition. Not only that, but also the US would fight a losing economic war to Nazi Europe. Instead, Roosevelt chose to support Britain financially and through trade, eventually allowing the United States to enter the war itself to secure victory over the Germans. Simply put, by the end of 1941, the United States did not feel secure with Britain as their defender, so they went to…
Initially, the United States declared a position of neutrality in the international conflict of World War One, however, after two years of conflict, America entered the war. Although it is well understood when the United States entered the war, the motives behind their involvement are still debated. Many explanations have been suggested, one being that Germany’s unchecked aggression and unrestricted submarine warfare threatened the United States, which gave sufficient reason to declare war on Germany. Speculation exists on whether the United States entered the war on such a noble premise, instead many suggest that the motives were economic.…
World War 2 began in the year of 1939 When Hitler invaded Poland causing both Britain and France to declare war on Germany. The United States began to provide significant military supplies to Britain in September 1940, even though the United States was still not officially at war.

The United States entered the war late on April 6th 1917, it had to quickly ramp up its efforts to supply troops and ammunition to the front.

The United states had to quickly mobilize their forces deploying, a draft and creating many pop up training camps throughout the country as well as converting factories from commercials goods to munitions.…
I don't think the USA was better off for entering world war 1 for I think it cause the people of America more harm than good. When the US enter the war there was a lot of jobs unfilled because of the movement of men going Europe to fight the war. As a result manufacturers had to keep production up to support the war, this led to new technologies to help manufacturers meet the needs of the government and people. This also led African Americans and women to fill many needed jobs, this helped with the movement for the rights of both parties. During this time the economy boomed, but economic prosperity did not last long however, when the war ended many men returned home and industry began to slow.…
World War II is the cruel, black scar that marks the back of the Twentieth century. After World War I the seeds of World War Two were planted through the unbearable burdens put on the German people from the infamous treaty of Versailles. With the rise of the notorious dictator Hitler, the German people were hungry for a new beginning. Appeasement was one of the biggest things that lead to World War II. It basically just postponed the War from happening. Leaders arose in countries that were unsatisfied with the results of the past war, World War I. Italy, Germany and Japan took action and no one was stopping them. The Most effective response to aggression at this time was surely collective security. Using Appeasement got the countries nowhere…

Hitler invaded Poland in September of 1939 and as a result Great Britain and France were inclined to declared war on Germany. World War II…
needed to help defeat the impossible, Nazi Germany. For about a year he continued making these kinds of speeches to give hope to Britain for they stood alone. He organized a successful air defense which helped win the Battle Of Britain and sent what was left of Britain’s soldiers to Italy to fight against Mussolini. Churchill’s “bulldog” tactics infuriated his advisers and his chief of staff said he had a multitude of bad ideas every day with only one being good, Churchill not knowing which one. In 1941, Britain’s greatest allies, the US and the Soviet Union came to assistance. Even though he did not want the help of the Soviet Union, he realized he needed their assistance if they wanted to have a fighting chance. With them he built what he called a “Grand Alliance”, traveling thousands and thousands of miles to strategize and…
The second reason why Britain should entered WW2 is, that Japan attacked British Colonies in Asia and the pacific. Japan was also a enemy of Britain during WW2, the beginning of the fight between them was Japanese attacking of Singapore, the Pacific Ocean and islands, the South West Pacific, South East Asia, and in China. According to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, he called the fall of Singapore to the Japanese the “worst disaster and largest capitulation in British military history.” (Churchill, Winston (2002) [1959].
