Before War
World war 1
Despite all the preparations, many Americans still refused to believe war was here. Then, on a Sunday morning, 1941, a Japanese naval and air force launched an attack on the U.S. base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. More than 2,400 U.S. military men were killed, 150 planes were destroyed, and eight battleships were sunk or damaged. at December 7, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, FDR announced that the United States would be joining World War II.
During War
The war of 1812 is one of the forgotten wars in U.S history. It lasted for 2 years and ended in a tie. It did, though, confirm independence to America. The offensive actions of America failed to capture Canada. But, it did stop the British army when it tried to capture Baltimore and New Orleans. There were a lot of American Naval victories in which American vessels defeated similarly sized British vessels. The Mexican American war was when America granted freedom to Texas, Mexico could not accept it and refused to negotiate very important issues, so the Americans maneuver close to the Mexican border, the Mexicans attacked and the war was on. What I think was the Mexicans were bad in this war because they just attacked American troops just because they could not accept America.
After War
World War Two ended finally in the summer of nineteen forty-five. Life in the United States began to return to normal. Soldiers began to come home and find peacetime jobs. The American economy was stronger than ever. Some major changes began to take place in the American population. Many Americans were not satisfied with their old ways of life. They wanted something better. And many people were earning enough money to look for a better life. Millions of them moved out of cities and small towns to buy newly built homes.
