American Involvement In Ww2

World War Two was a global war, a war of devastation that lasted from September 1939 until the 2nd of September 1945. The war included most countries in the world and more than a hundred million people, in over 30 countries were directly involved. The fight between the successful Allies and the Axis did a lot of damage and casualties around the world. The Allies not only had allies in the European region but also had America as an ally. After World War I, the United States had a Neutrality Act, embargoing any weapons supplied to the whole world and also banned financial loan to nations at war . American citizens travelling near or in the war zones are advised that they are doing it at risk. Many Americans thought that they had won World War

The statistic given to him is that nearly half a million Allied troops would die trying to invade the homeland of Japan. There would also be a high number of POWs dead as the war keeps dragging. Japan demonstrated their brutally and conducted it in the Pacific. They raped woman, tortured and murder civilians and executed prisoners. One of the most famous events was the Rape of Nanjing where the Japanese soldiers raped about 20,000 women and children and also killed about 40,000 to over 300,000. America had their biggest surrender during the Battle of Bataan, 78,000 Filipino and American troops surrendered to Japan and were taken as prisoners of war. However, they were treated inhumanely; many were forced to work, starved, beaten, tortured, burnt alive and executed. Later the torture of the POW’s in Bataan was referred as the Bataan Death March. Japan is also a country that would keep persevering, their belief of not giving up and surrender. Although sounding ironically, some has argued that the atomic bomb has even saved more Japanese lives than if the war keeps going on. Japan would never surrender; they would force all of their men (including civilians) to fight to their death as this is demonstrated at the start of the war. An official Japanese document even indicates that their army was prepared and willing to accept 28 million civilian lives. Their civilians were forced to take bamboo spears and satchel charges to go up to Allied Tanks and act like a suicide bomber. In 1983, at the annual observance of Hiroshima’s destruction, a Japanese war survivalist said, "If the military had its way, we would have fought until all 80 million Japanese were dead. Only the atomic bomb saved me. Not me alone, but many Japanese, ironically speaking, were saved by the atomic bomb." Japan was given fair warning to surrender before the atomic was bomb.
