American History

World War Two
The Watershed of Modern American History. On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The United States entered the Second World War against Germany, Italy and Japan. The war ended the Depression. The nation, from the steel mills of Chicago, to the wheat fields of Kansas, to the film studios of Hollywood, mobilized for war. The nation had been attacked and was fighting brutal German and Japanese dictatorships. There was very little protest or resistance from the American population, as there had been during the First World War.
