US in WW2

I really doubt it! The French pride themselves in the quality of their food, I can't think of a single food product they would bother to import from America. American food is terrible compared to English food and English food is the laughing stock of Europe.

President Harry Truman had many alternatives at his disposal for ending the war: invade the Japanese mainland, hold a demonstration of the destructive power of the atomic bomb for Japanese dignitaries, drop an atomic bomb on selected industrial Japanese cities, bomb and blockade the islands, wait for Soviet entry into the war on August 15, or mediate a compromised peace.

At the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.

No one will ever know for certain how many died as a result of the attack on Hiroshima. Some 70,000 people probably died as a result of initial blast, heat, and radiation effects. This included about twenty American airmen being held as prisoners in the city.

The creation of East and West Germany; the creation of North and South Korea, and the Korean War.

WWII-Not counting approximately 10,000 airplanes destroyed in US stateside training accidents:

US Airplanes lost fighting Germany-USAAF lost 22,948

US Airplanes lost fighting Japan-USAAF lost 4,530 and USN lost 8,592

Physical abuse, unsafe working conditions, disease and starvation.

Alochlic family members, lived in a trailor and was treated like plain old crap

in ww2 and ww1 childen had to make their own toys out of reycilble objects.such as a pretend robot with a secrat compartment in the back of his/her head by cutting a 3 side rectangle, skittles out of bottles and covered with paint, a go cart made out of wood or a catcher wich is a ball (scrunched up paper)on string and you catch it in a half of a bottle of a coke bottle (the lid end.) these are great to use for ww1 and ww2 topics.

Some conspiracy theorists claim the camps were built prior to Dec. 7. In a few cases, existing buildings, such as well-used smelly horse stables at racetracks, were used. Another example is former Civilian Conservation Corps camps out in the hills. In Hawaii, some camps were simple canvas tents with a fence around them. Most internment camps were located and built new specifically to house the internees, and after the war, fell into disuse. For example, ex-POW Gerald Coffee recalled that as a child in California, his family moved to Reno Nevada after the Pearl Harbor attack because his father left his lumberyard employment for a long term construction job near there. Years, later, he discovered the job was the construction of an internment camp!

the fear of communism after WW2 was because of Robert f**king menzies so yeah maybe someone elso should have a go at answering this questions thanks anyweyz

The reason japan attacked the u.s at pearl harbor was because the Japanese saw the us as the only threat to its power in the pacific ocean

FDR : Franklin Delano Roosevelt .

The salem witch trials.

On 7th December 1941 (surely you must know this) carrier borne planes of the Imperial Japanese Navy bombed the American Naval Base at Pearl Harbor and destroyed many aircraft and sank battleships which were moored in the harbour. Unbeknown to the Japanese, the American carrier carrier fleet had left on a training mission and was therefore undamaged. Japan declared war on the US at the same time as the raid and the US responded appropriately. So the answer to your question must be that the USA was fighting for lost pride and revenge.

The main cause of World War II in Europe was Adolf Hitler's invasion of Poland. When Hitler came to power, he immediately began expanding Germany into Austria and Chezhoslovakia. Before these two countries had been taken under German control, the larger European powers of Britain and France had employed a policy of appeasement, allowing Hitler to make whatever choices he felt would improve the state of affairs in Germany. However, after Czechoslovakia was invaded and taken under German control, this policy changed to one of deterrence, and Britain and France threatened to declare war if Hitler attempted to invade Poland and thus continue this kind of expansion. Thinking he would be calling their bluff, Hitler invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, and Great Britain declared war on Germany, setting the conflict that would eventually become World War II into motion.

Germany sent a coded message (aka Zimmerman Telegram) to Mexico proposing an alliance between Germany and Mexico. Germany suggested Mexico reclaim it's former territory by going to war with the United States, thus distracting them from the World War. President of the United States Woodrow Wilson got his hands on this telegram and joined the Triple Entente in the war weeks later.

This question doesn't have a yes or no answer. You can't say that dropping two atomic bombs that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people is right. Yet you can't say that saving probably over a million of soldiers lives by dropping the bomb wasn't right. Dropping the atomic bombs has it's pro's and con's.

because they were thought to be sabatogeing the us and were all put into camps in the U.s. and they lost their houses

The U.S. won World War I and set up the League of Nations to decide on what to do with Germany and Italy. The Treaty of Versailles was also signed that set limits on the future of Germany. America did not sign due to unrest at home. Actually- The League of Nations was a condition contained within the treaty of Versailles. Because of a lack of support in Congress, the United States never signed this document and therefore never entered this collaboration between nations. Due to the United States' lack of participation, the League of Nations was not long lived, and not until the creation of the United Nation (WWII) did the United States become involved in an international coalition such as this.
