History #2: Electric Boogaloo

Should the United States of America have gotten involved in World War 2? In my humble opinion, I believe that we were justified in doing so, and for many different reasons.

The first one being that the axis powers attacked one of our military bases, killing many soldiers and civilians. Attacks on our military and/or civilians can’t be ignored, no matter the reason.

Another reason is that its kind of hard that Hitler would have kept to Europe and Africa. If we weren’t involved in the war during the nineteen fourties, the United States would have been forced into the war eventually. Thankfully we got in to the war when we did, because the axis powers would have been much harder to defeat if the atomic bomb had been made available to them.

Thirdly, The United States of America really needed to get in to the war. The Great Depression put the country in a hurt locker that even the vaunted “alphabet soup” policies and work programs of F.D.R. were unable to free us from it. We needed the war to stimulate our economy and bring our nation out of the Great depression. Nothing is better for national growth and economic expansion then a war. The United States of America didn’t start World War 2, but there it was, sitting there like a big box of gold coins waiting to be taken advantage of. And if there’s one thing that the United States of America is good at, its taking advantage of other peoples follies to help ourselves out of a bind. And I mean that in a good way.

In conclusion, Yes I believe the United States of America was justified in getting in to World War 2 because we had to, we wanted to, and we needed to, and I for one am glad that we did.
