World War II

World War II

It was 1942, and bullets were flying across the battlefield going every which way while some were connecting on their target. The Battle of Britain has just broke out, and this is World War Two and things will never be the same. Although many wars accoured throughout history, World War Two is the most important because it gave the U.S. a powerful influence over the world and put Hitler out of office permanently.
The war first started in 1939 after Hitler came into office. HE started the war first against France, Poland and England, but then he decided it would be a good idea to start fighting against Russia which made him split his troops and Russia was so big and had a powerful army. Since Russia and England were allies of the United States so we had to fight.(Heather Wheeler) Now that you know why we started the war you should know about some of the commanders who helped win the war.
The U.S. had a good military coming into the war but after this war we would become unstoppable. Franklin Delano. Roosevelt was the president for the war and some of the great depression. He died in 1944 one year before the war ended. Some other commanders during the were Omar N. Bradley, Dwight David Eisenhower, William Frederick Hasley Jr. and Tomas Holcomb just to name a few. These people were so important because they commanded troops into battle, to sacrifice their to help their battles during the war.
It would be hard to remember all of the battles during the war so here is just a few of the main ones. The Battle of Berlin took place in Berlin, homeland. Now that you know about the reasons we started and the commanders The battles are the next thing you should know about the
Germany from April 16 to May 2, 1945. Midway took place in Midway was taken place from June 3 through the 6 of 1942. Another main battle was Stalingrad. This was one of the most bloodiest battles in all of the wars. It took place from August 21, 1942 to February 2, 1943 and it was named after Joseph Stalin.(Jenifer Rosenberg) With all of these bloody battles you are probably wondering who won the war, why did it start and how did it end.
World War Two was one of the toughest wars that we have fought in but, of course we won, well actually the U.S. and their allies won.(Jacob Hornberger) It started because Hitler wanted more land to rule so he started to fight to the east like England and Poland, but while he was crushing them he got greedy and started to fight against Russia and that caused him to split his troops so that caused him to lose his power. But the most exciting part of the war was the ending. We used an atomic bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.(William Burr) Many innocent people died but that was the only thing we could do to stop it. Now the U.S. made an agreement that we cannot use atomic bombs anymore.
Because of all the destruction during World War Two it put lots of cities economy’s in the garbage, but on the good side it got us out of the great depression.(Christopher Tassava) The U.S. poured lots of money into the European economy, to help restore them. Many people have immigrated into Europe because it is a safe part of the world.(Anthony Messina) This can also be bad for the economy because just like the U.S. it can put many people out of jobs when they should be working.
World War Two was a major part in American history and as a result of World War Two the U.S. became the world’s major super power. The cost of any war is high and many lose their life, but as Colonel David M. Shoup once said,” Casualties many; Percentage of dead unknown; Combat efficiency; We are winning.”
