WW II Issues

When I read about the issues that went on before, during and after WWII, I learned that many technological changes going on in the world affected the U. S. as well as other parts of the world. Many Americans were working in cities rather than rural areas. A new economy emerged dominated by unregulated industrial capitalism that caused many conflicts. More and more immigrants were joining the US labor force. Meanwhile down south, blacks were being denied the right to vote and exploited economically.What interested me about WW I was how Germany lost to France, England and the US. The Germans were blamed for starting the war and had to pay for its many repairations. I believe that this great defeat for Germany caused them to rely on Hitler when he rose to power and led to the creation of the Nazi party and the Holocaust.
It amazes me how Hitler had the power to influence the entire country of Germany and pu them all under the Nazi spell. Germamy began invading many countries such as Austria, France and Belgium. He wanted to prove that Germany was superior to every other country. As WW II o started to arise the US promised to not intervene, however when they were attacked in 1941 by Japanese forces at Pearl Harbor, the US felt it was there duty to fight in battle against Japan. Even though the US didn't want to be involved in the war it was for the better because it ended economic trouble that was going on for a long time during the Great Depression. I didn't agree with the fact that the US dropped the atomic bomb on Japan. I beleive there could've been another solution to ending the war between the US and Japan. Even though the end of WW II left the US as the most powerful nation, the Cold War soon changed that.
