World War II: The Greatest Generation

The way that the United states won the war was because our military is strong, we had good allies, and great leaders in office and on the battlefield. The Nazi Party leaders during the war was Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany, Benito Mussolini of Italy, and Emperor Hirohito of Japan. The United State president at the time was Franklin D. Roosevelt. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt directed organization of Nation’s manpower and resources for global war. One reason

Roosevelt left a legacy as America’s hope. In a time of need, when not many people had jobs, he started agencies that allowed people to get jobs to help support their families. He gave people hope during World War II when people need reassurance that everything would be alright. Franklin D. Roosevelt changed the world by proving that people with disabilities can be something great. He is certainly a hero of change because he guided the US through its ordeals that it had during the time Roosevelt was in office.

America is a land of opportunity and freedom. Men and women had to sacrifice their lives for what we take for granted today. After this trip I have a very good idea of how powerful our country is now but with the power comes struggle and death. Our country started from a small group of will driven men and now we are the strongest country in the world thriving off of 325 million patriots. Over the last three hundred years many strong men and women have stepped up and led America to victory, our founding fathers are just a few men to broke through the struggle and inspired us to be brave and fight for our country.

Are you doing your part to keep the american dream alive?. In the article Keeping The Dream Alive author Jon meacham has a very clear thought on what's going on in America which in his ideas are that the upper class wealthy have more control and certain breaks. Meacham does a great job of conveying the dream throughout the history of america going in chronological order. Many great Americans believed that we have the power to make the world or at least America a better place not perfect but better.”Roosevelt quoted that observation in his final Inaugural Address in the winter of 1945, and in the ensuing decades, American power and prosperity reached epic heights. The Peabody-Roosevelt gospel seemed to get it right: the world was not perfect, nor was it perfectible,”(Meacham 1).This does not define the individual American dream but how the government thinks we should be as a nation we can not prosper until we fail.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a very good example of leadership. He was always looking for ways to improve this country. FDR was a vital role in the development of America after the Great Depression and if he had not been the president our country would look a lot different today.He may of had his bumps here and there, but he never let those get in the way of serving the people of America. He once said “There are many ways of going forward but only one way of standing still”. FDR will always remain an important character in

Senses of nationalism were still evident and showed through America’s celebrations over their victories. Even after several years from when Revolutionary War ended, the people of America still celebrated it in 1819 (Doc C), showing how Americans can come together despite their differences. With America as a whole, the Rush-Bagot Agreement, Adams-Onis Treaty, and Monroe Doctrine were actions that were greatly supported by the people and would further assist in the advancement of the country (Doc H), providing great confidence for the people of America with their conflicts against Europeans. Another factor to America’s sense of national pride is the attempt to promote general welfare by uniting the country with a system of roads and canals made by John C. Calhoun (Doc B) despite his plan being shot down by the government. Even so, these events undeniably contributed to the existing senses of pride and unity within the nation.

The Irish immigrants came to America following World War II, because it was more feasible to get a job here in America than in Ireland (Frank McCourt, Angela’s Ashes). When the Irish came to America they brought with them their unwavering faith. It was after all through their faith that hey had survived the potato famine and the constant warfare that tore apart their country in their battle for independence. Furthermore when the Irish immigrated to America they were met with a lot of resistance from Americans, because of this the Irish dug their heels in even more and endeavored to succeed in the hostile environment they found themselves in. Americans overtime became more accepting of their new neighbors and eventually absorbed the Irish’s faith into their own

One cause of World War I was Militarism. Germany had an industrialized military and spent millions of dollars on weapons and trying to improve and prepare them for war. Many other countries seen this newfound competition and started to try and rebuild their armies and navy so they could keep up. France and Russia were also other big spenders in the war. With Germany’s new and improved army, they started to gain confidence and were convinced that they could win a war.

Economics Of Race And Gender In The Context Of Rosie The Riveter Film During the world war II, the economic and social arrangement in America and Europe underwent a serious change. This was because most energetic and able men were out in the battles leaving behind the old, children and women. The duty of providing for the families and the older citizens shifted from men to women. The constriction of solders throughout Europe and America also led labour shortage and companies, including arm manufacturing industries resorted to hiring women. Although there were millions of women working in the industries before the war, it become inevitable for women to take up men 's positions during the war and do jobs they would not do before.

1940s Careers Remember all those really cool World War II movies? This is the part those movies didn’t show you. Due to our vast amount of people available, our determination to continue on, and our influential propaganda; everyday life was improved by the war, as well as rights for women and blacks. Careers were changed as well, the war gave people new jobs and fixed inflation. The ‘Dust Bowl’ had just crippled the Midwest and a lot of people had no easy way of earning money, but the U.S. entering WWII changed it all.
