US in WW2

Japan attacked the US Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. The following day, President FDR delivered his "Infamy Speech," declaring asking Congress to declare war on Japan because of the brutality of an unprovoked (in most American's opinions) attack.

The plan which assisted European nations with war reparations was called the Marshall Plan.

It was the World War II, and it was the attack by Japan on Pearl Harbour that brought America into the war. America fought alongside the Allies in Europe against Germany, and in Asia/Pacific against Japan.

The Nazi Germans did not bomb Pearl Harbor Hawaii. The Japanese Military did it because they wanted to destroy the US Naval Fleet so the Navy would not go after Japan when they invaded many Asian nations and Australia.

The attack backfired. The aircraft carriers were not in Pearl Harbor at the time and some of the naval fleet was still on the coast of the continent. Therefore the US declared war on Japan since the US had not provoked Japan.

• Hitler invaded Poland bringing France and Great Britain into the war.
• Japan took over Manchuria bringing China into the war.

• Germany invaded the USSR bringing the Soviet Union into the war.

Following WWII, most European countries were completely destroyed, economically, industrially and agriculturally. In fear of many European nations falling prey to communism, the United States set up the Truman Doctrine on 12 March, 1947, which allocated $400 million to Greece and Turkey in military and economic aid. Due to the success of the Doctrine, the Marshall Plan was created in June of 1948. The Marshall Plan was direct economic aid for any democratic European nation who needed it. At its end in 1951, the Marshall Plan cost the United States over $13 billion.

One of the allied commanders of the Pacific fleet was General Douglas MacArthur. Another allied commander was Admiral William Halsey.

In March 1938 Austria became the first country to be annexed by Germany. (In other words, it was added to Germany). In Linz and Vienna Hitler was greeted with hysterical enthusiasm that made even the Nuremberg rallies look tame. In Vienna some people celebrated by making Jews sweep the streets with tooth-brushes, while crowds looked on and jeered and laughed. Austrians were heavily represented in the German army and in the Nazi terror apparatus. It was only after Stalingrad that it became fashionable in Austria to say that the country had been a victim of Nazi agression. I hope this answers the question. Joncey Let's not forget that Adolf Hitler was born at the Gasthof zum Pommer, an inn in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary, on 20 April 1889 and only moved to Munich when he was 24 years old.

That is a question that can only be answered as a personal opinion rather than a definitive response. IMO, it was indeed wrong as the vast majority of the internees were American citizens who were guilty of absolutely nothing. They were also forced to forfeit their businesses and land holdings, albeit later a pathetic show of reparation was made by the U.S. government. Many of the internees later renounced their American citizenship in protest. There were other nationalities interred as well such as German and Italian, but not in the same large number. Canada also had internment camps established in British Columbia for persons of Japanese origin.

A US naval base that was attacked by Japan in December of 1941.

Strictly speaking, "Pearl Harbor" is the name of the body of water (technically, a lagoon/harbor of the ocean) in the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The city of Honolulu is built on its shores, and the United States has operated a major naval base there since 1887.

Historically speaking, the Attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise Japanese aerial assault on 7 Dec 1941 on the U.S. Naval Base, especially the ships of the Pacific Fleet, as well as the nearby U.S. Army airfields of Wheeler and Hickham (plus others on Oahu), with the goal of crippling the U.S. naval presence in the Pacific.

Rommel and von Kluge had that area.

Get the book of General Speidel, who was second to Rommel, for a firsthand account of casualty reports.

It's called __Invasion 1944__, in the original English edition of 1950.

according to a docomentaire about D-day ,the casualties to the German side were 6500 dead!

Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because the U.S. enacted an embargo on all oil supplies to Japan. The reason for the embargo is because Japan was invading China. The U.S. embargo cut-off 90% of Japans resources, which crippled their economy and most importantly military. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor for another important reason. Pearl Harbor was the home of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Japan did not want the U.S. in the war because the U.S. at this time had the greatest Naval force. They concluded that if the Pacific Fleet was destroyed, Americans would feel de-moralized and not want to fight. Additionally, an attack on the Pacific Fleet would take the U.S. six months to recuperate and rebuild the Navy.

Unfortunately 1941-1945 U.S. Treasury Award coins aren't worth much more than their silver value. Each coin has .625 ounces of silver. There is a place on one side of the coin to engrave a name -- and most of these coins do indeed contain the name of the person to whom it was presented. Coins that do not have names are worth somewhat more -- but don't expect this coin to fund your retirement.
