World war II. Probably the most memorable war in the world. This war brought us peace,new alliances, and new enemies of the U.S army. This war lasted for 6 years. Six long years of war. Pretty brutal isn't it. Well, this is only the first part of this story.
There was more than 100 million mobilized troops during the war. 100 MILLION! Can you believe that! This war was believed to begin on September 1st, 1939, with the invasion of Poland (i'm part polish, wait MY PEOPLE!) and the subsequent declarations of war on Germany by France and most of the countries within The British Empire. On June 22nd of early 1941, Germany, and all the other European Axis members, along with Finland invaded the Soviet Union in Operation: Barbarossa.Mean While, the United States, United Kingdom and other Western governments reacted to the seizure of Indochina with a freeze on Japanese assets. That meant Japan was essentially forced to choose between abandoning its ambitions in Asia and the prosecution of the war against China, or seizing the natural resources it needed by force.
I think I wrote too much already. This might have taken up the entire freaking blogger page.
Part 2 coming soon.....
