The Second World War in U. S. History and Memory by Mark A. Stole

World War II was a worldwide event that changed the world forever. From devastating events to painful stories, the most heinous anti-human behavior in World War II was seen. There is debate about the difference between the history of war and the memory. From historians to social memory methods, war affects everyone. Many people believe that the United States will participate in war with the ultimate motive, but others remember that participation is necessary to prevent more devastating consequences.

In the late 1930s, the United States was involved in World War II. This is one of the most memorable wars involving America. Many countries have fought with the United States in difficult times. After the Soviet Union became neutral, on September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland and the beginning of the Second World War came. Just a few days later, Britain and France declared a war with Germany, Poland was defeated within a few days, and it was distributed to the Nazis and the Soviet Union. (2013 European World War II). Meanwhile, Adolf Hitler became the leader of the Nazi party and became the most influential person in the organization (Wistrich, 2014). After the First World War, Hitler was annoyed with German failures and expressed more content.

When Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, it became the beginning of World War II and the Western Polish allies including Australia, the UK and New Zealand declared war with Germany in September. The allies later joined Canada, France, South Africa and other countries. After bombing Pearl Harbor, America joined the war. (Weinberg G. L. 1994) The war was rated as the most expensive war and the estimated cost was about $ 1 trillion.

War is not necessarily an economic stimulus for the victor, but since it will never be destroyed in the land of the United States, the United States of the postwar prospered. When the European allies secured the victory of fascism, the United States only participated in World War II in the final phase of the conflict. The entry of the United States into the Second World War promoted the development of military enterprises and it was one of the main reasons why it decided to participate. This is an example of how the country uses the historical environment to promote its development.
