I hate what the Nazis did in the war (no offence againest any German people)killing millions of people died inastant people (sorry I am a bad speller)but what do you think...
WW2 was over all a sorta bad thing, like all wars, it wasn't very different from the toehrs in my views.
MusicCrzed123, Your right america is in alotta wars. ITS BECAUSE THEY CAUSE MOST OF THEM They need to get off the high horse, or at least get nuked see how it feels to be japan in WW2
Although it was a disgusting act it was in Japans best interest to be nuked. Without that wake up call the Japanese would have fought to extinction. I whole heartedly believe they would be defending with pointy sticks if that's what it had taken and the way the war was turning it would have gotten to that sooner or later. As horrible as the nuke was it saved alot of lives. Also, I fin dit hard to be sympathetic when they erase all their wrong doings from history books but then try to get sympathy for what happened to them.
I don't know if anyone has noticed this but every century Americans are in at least one big war?
America has only existed since the late 1700s. Unless directly provoked America tends to stay out of wars. Bush's doctrine changed al that, but historically, the US have been pretty isolationist. Aside from the civil war, which 'big' war were the US involved in during the 1800s?
I'd agree with Xavier that nuking Japan, was, in the end, the right thing to do. It saved many more US/British and Japanese lives in the long term. A side of the argument that does get disregarded somehwat.

well technically WWII had nothing to do with america, but since our friends were fighting, america was like... Hmmm lets go party too. And that was the tipping point when america sent reinforcements
British gonna declare lose to German invasion, lucky we got Alan Turing decipher Enigma. If British lose, US gonna declare lose too. And we now under Reich rulez lol
After watching Schindler's List at school today, it was a dumb idea for Nazis to kill 6 million Jews. Hitler's dream was for Germany to rule all of Europe, and by creating the Third Reich, he was almost able to make this dream come true.

The US and Britain weren't the best of friends. There was still a lot of animosity about the US not joining in WW1 til the penultimate year, as well as the whole League of Nations Mandates fiasco. The US joined in on the allies side because they were attacked by the Japanese who were allied with Germany. Germany actually declared war on the US, not the other way round.
How can you possibly say that the first world war and the second world war aren't related?
You need to go back *at least* 50 years before the turn of the 20th century to start to understand what caused WW2, and even the state of affairs the world is in today.
Like the failed defence of the Bataan Peninsula. When the Allies surrended they had more supplies and troops left but the ferocity of the Japanese atttacks shook them too hard.
um not true the American and Filipino troops were out of supplies and although they did have a lot of troops left they couldn't hold out long enough for reinforcements which would take like 2 yrs and actually most of the troops didn't want to surrender they wanted to keep fighting
Aside from the civil war, which 'big' war were the US involved in during the 1800s?
the only other war was the war of 1812 although it wasn't that big the only real significant battle was the battle of new orleans
Yes, but they were only on the allied side because Japan bombed Pearl Harbour. The allies were fighting both Germany and Japan and with Germany and Japan being Allied it was the only thing that made sense to join the allies.

yeah it caused us to join the war but its not like if the Japanese didn't bomb pearl that we would've join the axis we had been helping the allied side before we join with the lend-lease act the main reason we didn't declare war earlier is because the american people as well as most of congress believed it was a European problem and had nothing to do with the US
rereading what I haev written it seems that I implied that the US would have joined the axis. That isn't what I meant. I was just saying I would hardly have said the Americans and the British Commonwealth were "buddies" as such. It was more a thing of convenience.

I agree. I think it was just a matter of circumstance. Id Britain had attcked the US (God knows why) I am pretty sure the US wouldn't have had many qualms with siding with the Nazis.
