Liberty Enlightening the World, was best known for supporting the purchasing of war bonds by the American public during not only World War Two but also the one preceding it. There are posters of Lady Liberty leading the way for a mass of Americans to buy war bonds. Of course, the Statue still stood for the liberty and freedom of men - especially after the discovery of Nazi extermination camps in 1942, although there is no literal relation I would imagine many immigrants who had seen the Statue of Liberty after experiencing the extermination camps would have appreciated it more than most would have then and today.
The Statue of Liberty was damaged by shrapnel in The Black Tom explosion at Jersey City, NJ in 1916.
The Statue of Liberty :)
The war of 1812
yes it was because America help fight in war
Actually, the statue of liberty was built in France and brought over to the US in pieces and put together on or near the little island that it stands on today. It was given to us as a gift for helping France in a war, but I'm not sure of that war.
It was right after the war so they thought since we won they thought they should name it The Statue of Liberty.
It was a present from France, I believe to commemorate how they helped them in world war 2
The Statue of Liberty was given to us after the Revolutionary War. The French gave it to us in 1886.
This statue was given to the United States by the French for the US efforts in world war 2 defeating the germans who occupied France. It was a gift symbolizing freedom and liberty.

The war of 1812
The Statue of Liberty (officially titled Liberty Enlightening the World) was presented by the people of France to the United States of America in 1886 to celebrate the US's centennial. France was not in any conflict with the USA at the time the Statue of Liberty was presented. The only time in history where the independent United States went to war against France was in the year 1800 for about a month. (It was an undeclared war.) Aside from that, every war in which the United States and France fought, they fought together. Examples include: The American Revolution, War of 1812/Napoleonic Wars, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War (although the French had primarily withdrawn by the time that United States became involved), and the Persian Gulf War of 1991.
