Why did it take the US so long to offer direct help to europes jews?
In late 1939, when the Europeans started butchering each other, the US had a tiny army of 175,000, and they were spread all over, including the Philippines and Hawaii (which wouldn't be a state for another two decades). That's less combat power than the Romanian army of the time. One doesn't just snap his fingers to have an army appear, either. It takes time to recruit or draft that many men, and to train them. Simple basic training isn't enough, either. It takes a long time to develop a solid fighting unit.
___
- No country went to war to 'to offer direct help to Europe's Jews'. Please be realistic.
- The US went to war against Japan because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor; the US went to war against Germany because Germany declared war on the US.

Who Said He Who Fails to Plan Plan to Fail?
How to Motivate Yourself in Times of Failure - Beginners Motivation Guide
Almost everyone wants to do business but many fail. But none of us want to fail, of course we have to fail, why should we take our business first and win, it's just our own rate no one wants, we all want to win, we want to succeed but many times we have to face failure, in such a situation many go into depression. Such a person will never succeed, because he does not have the passion to win, nor does he have the ability to accept defeat. But on the other hand many people always try to win, but if for some reason we lose we don't skip it and try it again with full energy to move forward. Such a person can be successful and great.
If you are afraid of failing at something and find it difficult to move forward again, don't worry. In today's post we will tell you that by following which you will no longer be afraid of failure, and it will be much easier for you to get out of there. You will read this post carefully. In this post we will guide you step by step on how to get out of failure.
#1 Except for the failure
Failure needs to be accepted, because you can't survive or avoid failure, so it's best to say to yourself, "You failed this time, but it's okay with everyone and with me."
#2 Take full responsibility for your own failure
You have to take full responsibility for your own failure because if you can take credit for your own success then why not take credit for your own rate. I mean, the problem is where this happens in everyone's life, every person falls once or twice. This time it was your turn to take full responsibility for the action and decision that caused you to fail. Because by blaming others for your rate you will block all roads coming out of your failure. You take responsibility for your own mistakes.

How did the battle of the coral sea impact on Japanese war plans?
Navies have been fighting upon the oceans for thousands of years; the Romans, Greeks, and later the British, French, Americans, Russians, Japanese, etc. At first with wooden ships powered by men at the oars, then cloth sails, then steam, then coal, then oil, now atomic energy. Men and ships always fought upon the seas, with bows & arrows, swords, muskets (rifles/pistols), cannons (guns), then later under water propelled missiles (torpedoes), and high powered large calibered rifles (12, 14, 16, and 18 inch guns). Then came the Battle of the Coral Sea; fought above the oceans; no ship or sailor shooting at one another...all battle performed in the skies above the Coral Sea. For the first time in man's history, a naval battle was being fought by flying machines.
It is hotly contested as to whether FDR's New Deal Programs really resolved the root causes of the Great Depression partly because the causes of the Great Depression are still poorly understood.
The anti-government/libertarian stance generally states that the Great Depression was in itself caused by tight credit, and they generally argue that although FDR's programs may have helped alleviate some of the symptoms of the GD (high unemployment), they never truly healed the root cause (a drop in GDP caused by tight credit).
They argue that the massive banking failure during the beginning of the GD that so compounded its effects was unnecessary. The GD was triggered by a stock market crash, but it became far worse when banks started failing. With many banks out of business businesses could not obtain credit, and production fell. Farmers could not buy seeds for planting time because no credit was available. They point to Canada, for example, which had virtually no banking failures at all and argue that the laws to blame were anti-trust laws which prevented banks from giving each other loans. They argue that doing away with these laws would have allowed for looser credit for banks as well as everyone else.
Libertarians argue that FDR never really solved the root problem of tight credit and that many of his policies were in fact harmful. They argue that creating a minimum wage, for example, when business could barely survive helped the people with jobs, but made the problem of finding work for the millions of unemployed far harder.

The pro-government/progressive stance general states that: The Great Depression was caused by great social inequality. A wealth gap opened up during the roaring twenties that led to abuse and corruption. But true industrial wealth and productivity comes only when every one has an equal share in the pie; when everyone is well educated and has a chance to become productive. But like the Roman Empire, the social inequality in America could not last forever, and soon the whole system collapsed under its own greed and filth.
From this desperate situation, only a brave hero could come to the rescue: FDR, savior of the common man and promoter of equality for all. Although he had a few setbacks, we was a great visionary and reformer, creating stabilizing programs such as social security and the FDIC which would probably prevent another banking collapse. His championing of education led to the creation of a golden age for the American middle class; Americans were the first to own cars, refrigerators, etc, and this is thanks to FDR.
Well, perhaps both sides have a point. Perhaps the Great Depression like many disasters was due to many failings of the government: things the government should have done, and things the government should not have done. The tight credit policies and laws preventing banks from borrowing from each other certainly contributed to the Great Depression. But perhaps it is also true that the government should have tried to put an end to the speculative bubbles and greed that caused the Stock Market to crash initially. One thing is for certain, FDR changed things dramatically and extremely successfully. So much so that the only people who truly oppose his core policies are on the very fringe of the political spectrum. They call themselves Ron Paul supporters.
Did Germany bomb the US during World War 2?
They did more than consider it. The US dropped almost 1.5 million tons of explosives on German war targets.
Iwo Jima is a very small Japanese island approximately half way between the Marianas Island chain and the main Japanese islands. The Japanese have long considered it part of the "homeland", even though it is very isolated and distant from the main Japanese archipelago.
Historically, it is known for the major battle fought there in 1945 near the end of the Second World War. It was the first battle fought on "Japanese" home soil, and the outcome heavily influenced the thinking of Allied planners as to the cost and prospect of any Allied invasion of the main Japanese home islands.
It is particularly notable for the extremely heavy hand-to-hand combant between the US Marine Corps and the Imperial Japanese Army. Fighting was far more intense than Allied planners had expected, with very high casualty rates amongst the attacking US Marines, while the IJA died almost to the man. Approximate casualties were 7,000 dead/19,000 wounded for the Marines, and 18,000 killed/200 captured for the IJA.
The iconic picture (and perhaps most famous combat photo of all time) of several Marines raising the US flag was taken on top of the island's main mountain several days after fighting began, though the battle continued for several more weeks. This picture is the basis for the US Marine Corps War Memorial just outside Arlington National Cemetery.
How did the US repair the ships damaged by the attack on Pearl Harbor?
Although the Japanese attack suceeded in crippling the U.S. Pacific Fleet for the short term, the U.S. had certain advantages in rebuilding its Navy. First, a new navy was already being built. Due in part to the Naval Expansion Act of 1938, a significant number of new ships were already being constructed in shipyards on the West Coast. Further, only three battleships were permanently lost due to the attack. Almost all of the damaged ships were floated and repaired.
Circumstances about the bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
The Japanese had no idea that the atomic bomb even existed. Everyone prepared to take cover in case they were bombarded by fire bombs. Some of the children even had helmets on to protect them from the heat. The Japanese saw the planes and how strange and different it was but they didnt give it much thought. Ten unofficial warnings were sent to the Japanese by the Americans. A telegram was sent several days prior to D-day, but word is that it never got to the Japanese government. RAWRRRRRRR ! [:
Did the us drop an atomic bomb on Iwo Jima?
Yes. America tested the first atomic bomb in New Mexico, then dropped two on Japan to effectively end World War 2. Russia began testing atomic bombs in 1949 and many other nations have also tested them. No one besides America has used them in war.
What was the date and time the first bomb dropping in hiroshima?
The bomb dropped over Hiroshima was released at 8.14 am on august 6 1945. Melted watches were stoopped at 8.15 am That day.

Why did American people not want to join World War 2?
At first, it appeared that WW II was a European conflict that did not really concern the US. War is a very expensive and terrible business; it has a very high cost in terms of both human life, and money. Therefore, it is not a good idea to go to war unless you have a very strong motive. America did not seem to have any strong motive, until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor provided the motive.
How many Japanese planes returned damaged during the pearl harbor attack?
First Wave: 183 attacked Oahu, 9 shot down, 174 returned to carriers.
Second Wave: 169 attacked Oahu, 20 shot down, 149 returned to carriers.
Total 323 returned to carriers, however 74 of these were damaged (some were pushed overboard after landing).
Who was the associated press photographer who photographed the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima?
The famous picture taken by Rosenthal actually captured the second flag-raising event of the day. A U.S. flag was first raised atop Suribachi soon after it was captured early in the morning (around 10:20) of February 23, 1945. Captain Dave E. Severance was ordered by 2nd Battalion Commander Chandler Johnson to send a platoon to go take the mountain. Severance, the commander of Easy Company (2nd Battalion, 28th Marines, 5th Marine Division), ordered First Lieutenant Harold G. Schrier to lead the patrol. Just before Schrier was to head up the mountain Commander Chandler Johnson handed him a flag saying, "if you get to the top put it up." Johnson's adjutant, second lieutenant Greeley Wells, had taken the 54 by 28 inches (140 by 71 cm) American flag from their transport ship, the USS Missoula (APA-211). The patrol reached the top without incident and the flag was raised, and photographed by Staff Sergeant Louis R. Lowery, a photographer with Leatherneckmagazine.

Why didnt US declare war on Germany during World War 2?
Germany, Italy and the other minor Axis nations.
The only nation the US did declare war on was Japan, the day after Japan attacked the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor.
Three days after the US declared war on Japan, Germany and Italy declared war against the US. That was enough to bring about a state of war between the US and Germany and Italy. There was no need for Congress to declare war back.
How Many battleships were in the area know as Battleship row?
6 or 7, depending if you count the USS California, which was moored on the same side of Ford Island, but was in a different location.
The 6 other ships that were moored together as "Battleship Row" were:
USS Nevada (beached to prevent sinking)
USS Arizona (destroyed)
USS Tennesse (damaged), USS West Virginia (sunk upright, later repaired)
USS Maryland (damaged), USS Oklahoma (sunk - capsized, later raised but sank while under tow)
Tennessee / West Virginia and Maryland / Oklahoma were moored in pairs, with the second-named ship in each pair outboard (away from the island) and therefore vulnerable to torpedo hits.
Which side was the US on in the beginning of World War 2?
At the beginning of WWII, America was neutral. The US did not enter the war until 1941, after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
How did Pearl Harbor influence people?
In the US it created a sense of righteous anger and a thirst for vengence. It also created a distrust of all Orientals which resulted in the internment camps.
