Why Did The Us Lose Ww2

In 1945 the United States of America claimed victory on World War II. Before the war, the United States had prevented the war and had been isolated for so long. However war could no longer be avoided when Japan attacked the American military base of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The attack was unexpected and when America entered the war it was very abrupt, yet America still came out winning. Out “of [all] the major powers, only America’s homeland was not systematically bombed. It was never invaded... [and] the United States lost the smallest percentage of its population of any major power” (Hanson). Many factors contributed to America’s victory of World War II, but ultimately it was the strong American home front and unity of the nation that won the World War II for the United States.

When America entered
D-day was and operation conducted by an American military general that took place on “June 6, 1944, the day of the invasion of western Europe by Allied forces in World War II” (D-Day). The purpose of the invasion was to liberate France and push back German lines. This operation was a success because not only did it lead to the victory in Europe but it earned the support of the Soviet Union which was a smart decision on America’s part. The Soviet Union gave support in America defeating Japan. Over in the Pacific, America used a method known as “Island hopping [and this] was important because American's were able to hop to any island and take back control from the Japanese of that island” (Why Island Hopping Was So Important). Island hopping was a method used by the allies that helped get closer to Japan and began to push Japan back. Eventually, the United States pushed Japan back and began advancing towards Japan and this was a turning point in the war as America began winning the war. These intelligent American military strategies contributed to winning World War
