American View of World War II 

The slightly biased view of WWII, which started in 1939, when Hitler declared war upon Poland. Later, in December, 1941, the US legally declared war upon Japan. A day later, the remaining Axis powers declared war upon the US.

The US fought in the war until its end. It gave huge assistance in the D-Day invasion, and ended its war, and the Far East's war with Japan, which was the only Axis power that far east, by dropping two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in order.

Before the Pearl Harbor attack, The United States gave HUGE assistance to the Allied European powers, particularly in the way of money, food, weapons, and other important resources.

So, in fact, if it weren't for America, the European Allies would have, theoretically, fallen apart without the resource and militaristic support (allowing for the Nazis to take over all of Europe and effectively wipe out almost every singe person with Jewish heriatige on this planet), and a considerable amount of Eastern Asia would belong to Japan.

America may have been able to take care of itself if this did happen, maybe not, but it can be assured that if it weren't for America, every European (save the Switz, who were neutral, as they owned the world's banks) would be speaking German and hailing Hitler, and most, if not all, of the billions of people in Asia would be speaking Japanese and curisng America with every other breath.

The American view of WWII, although slightly inaccurate, is mostly true.

American View of World War II 

I hate to make this seem like a chatroom with my response, but I figured what the hell.

Anyway, the United States of America did not participate in World War II until after Pearl Harbor in the near-end of 1941. By 1942, the United States of America had been involved in absolute full-blown war, along with the UK, France, the Soviet Union, Italy, Imperial Japan, and Nazi Germany.
HOWEVER, it is a fact that America had wanted to seclude itself from World War II. After World War I, America did not want to participate in anymore international wars. However, after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, America had to drag itself with all its military-industrial power.

America got roughly 3 years of battle in during WWII, from '42-'45. On June 6th, 1944, in cooperation with the UK and other willing allies, America launched Operation Overlord (aka : D-Day), in an ultra-daring attempt to reclaim France, ultimately to reclaim Europe from facist & nazi grip.
Then, in the middle of 1945, America began top-secret experimentation via a letter from a man named Albert Einstein, concerning a way to "split the atom". This was called The Manhattan Project, and it was the experimentation of a revolutionary new bomb, called an "atomic bomb" (sidenote : the atomic bomb was originally planned out by Axis powers like Germany and Japan). After August 6th and 9th of the same year, a new age was born.....

World War II ended on September 2nd of 1945 when Japan, the last enemy, surrendered.
After World War II, it was realized worldwide that the United States of America was clearly the world's most powerful nation, although along with the Soviet Union (these two would rival one-another during the Cold War, which would occur next year). It was also realized that the originally-fledgling nation of the United States of America had a major purpose, which would be to assume major leadership of the world (not absolute leadership, nor even rulership, given America's purpose and beliefs.....today, America believes that the world belongs to everyone).

Although America only got roughly 3 years of fighting in during WWII, America was said to do most of the work.

World War II

A big fight involving guns and bombs and people dying.
Hitler and the Germans lost it and he said "screw this." And shot himself. That's basically what happened.

Guy: hey hitler!
Hitler:Vat?
Guy:I think you lost something
Hitler:vaattt?!
Guy:yeah, World War II
Guy:LOL.

World War II

World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. In a total war directly involving more than 100 million personnel from more than 30 countries, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, enabling the strategic bombing of population centres and the only two uses of nuclear weapons in war. World War II was by far the deadliest conflict in human history; it resulted in 70 to 85 million fatalities, a majority being civilians. Tens of millions of people died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, massacres, and disease. In the wake of the Axis defeat, Germany and Japan were occupied, and war crimes tribunals were conducted against German and Japanese leaders.

World War II was bad

World War II

The Americans did not single handedly win the war. Maybe the naval war, but how about the Russians at Starlingrad destroying the German Eastern Front? How about Montgomery in Africa? Just a little naieve to think that the whole of World War II was won in 2 battles by the Americans. Also, you ignored the War until it became a threat to you and you thought GB might fall. I assume you just learnt about those 2 battles in history today? Maybe you'll do the other bits later in the semester

Yank: Hey, didn't we win World War II by ourself?
Yank 2: Yeah, pretty much.
Yank: Didn't we win the war againt terror by ourself as well?
Yeank 2: Yeah, pretty much.

World War III

When the antichrist appears and slaughters thousands of people by his own hands. It will be very soon and he will cause the nuclear bombs to be dropped on the world.

I hope I die in WWIII

Regardless of what that idiot "Stalin" said at the bottom of the page, BOTH of the turning-point battles of World War Two in which the Axis Powers officially went on the defensive were fought AND WON almost entirely if not entirely by the Americans - The Battle of Midway, in which the Japanese Navy was defeated, and the Battle of the Bulge, in which the German Panzer Corps was defeated and the German Army exhausted.

Note - ALMOST THE ENTIRE WAR AGAINST JAPAN WAS FOUGHT BY THE AMERICAN NAVY!!!! If not for America, World War Three would have been fought between the Empire of Japan and the Empire of Nazi Germany for world dominance.
