IN A SICK TWISTED WAY, HITLER WAS INTELLIGENT AND A VERY GOOD PUBLIC

SPEAKER. HE WAS ELECTED TO OFFICE BY THE GERMANY PEOPLE.

HOW DID THE WORLD NOT KNOW?

ISOLATIONISM

Many Neutrality laws will be passed by the US during the 1930’s to keep us out of WW 2 by avoiding the

same situations that got us into WW 1.

Many countries and people tired of economic depression were looking for answers to their problems so they turned to those they thought had the answers.

They created Totalitarian States.

Giving in to Germanys demands in order to keep the peace (APPEASEMENT) had it’s supporters in the US.

With all that is going on in Europe we are still staying out of it

During the 30’s Congress passes a series of laws that allow us to supply weapons to Democratic Countries who are fighting against Hitler. It keeps us out of the war and we are known as the Arsenal of Democracy.

Cash and Carry and Destroyers for Bases are two examples. Both of these needed payment. However with the

Lend/Lease program we supplied the weapons on credit.

More and more our women were entering the factories to do a mans job “We can do it” Rosie the Riveter

BEFORE THEY ATTACKED!

2403 people killed in the attack. There were 1200 killed when The Battleship Arizona exploded. They are still there today!

HOW DID WE FEEL ABOUT JAPANESE? CAN YOU SAY RACIAL PREJUDICE

Buying bonds will help pay for the war effort. Rationing will make more supplies available to our military.

WHAT HAPPENED TO LEADERS AT END OF WAR

Churchill votedout of office. Stalin and Hirohito are still in charge oftheir countries.

SuicideAttempted Hari Kari , Tried on War Crimes convicted and executed

Killed by mob

They will hold both military and Government officials accountable for War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity.

At the end of WW 2 there are two world Super Powers, the United States and the Soviet Union.

Manhattan project (Atomic Bomb) is a success. Trying to intimidate Stalin we tell him about it at the Pottsdam Conference, but he all ready

knew because of his spies.

Truman decides to drop the atomic bomb on Japan saying it will save US soldiers’ lives since we will not have to invade Japan. However, it also sends a loud message to Russia; “Look what we got and don’t mess

with us”

On the home front African Americans have just fought a war involving racial prejudices and being segregated in the military which will lead to

an increase efforts to eliminate it after WW 2
