==// The japanese expanded the most in China. There major weakness was a lack of natural resources which they ended up getting from the united states (coal,oil,and rubber).

=// The Event That Caused US To Enter World War II //= The event that caused US to enter World War II was the attack on Pearl Harbor, without any warning or provacation. //As soon as was possible they began to plan a raid led by Colonel James Doolittle. The plan.. and the act.. was to train to take their planes by aircraft carrier, take off from the middle of the ocean, drop bombs on strategically planned factories and land in China. The mission was successful with the exception that Col. Doolittle was disappointed that their planes were unrecoverable and had to be abandoned. The nuclear bombing did occur but it took another 3 years before that measure was taken. // = = ====// Benito Moussolini Was The Dictator In Charge of Italy rising to power in 1922. His Aggressive Action Was Fascism.Fascism is a political philosophy that advocates a strong,centralized, nationalistic government headed by a powerful dictator.In October 1922, Mussolini marched on Rome with thousands of his followers, whose black uniforms gave them the name " Black Shirts". // ==== **3 Ways France And Great Britian Appeased Hitler**

// I think rationing was necessary during the war because the construction for war was critical considering we just came out of a ressesion. sure we lost alot of everyday items for the war materials but it was well worth it. // //** Office of War Information **// //The Office of War Information (OWI) was created in 1942 and served as an important U.S. government propaganda agency during World War II.**Propaganda is**// **The OWI Produced Radio Shows** **OWI cleared commercial network scripts** **//Voice of America//** **Propaganda Good Or Bad?** I Think The Propaganda that the OWI put out was good for the war.Reason 1 is the fact that our enemy was japan and the propaganda was mellow towards them. Reason 2 is that the country was entertained by the radio and commercial shows and this gave them more of a reason to give in to americas goovernment and there wants. **Internment Camps** Japanese-American internment was the relocation and internment by the United States government in 1942 of 111,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese who lived along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called "War Relocation Camps," in the wake of Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. surrounded by barb wire and soldiers with guns. Executive Order 9066 I think Executive order 9066 was necessary, because it kept japanese people away from everyday live because of the attack on pearl harbor.the japanese-americans could have still been home sick and attacked americans during the war here at home.

 * Manhattan Project **

//**The Manhattan Project was a research and development program, led by the United States with participation from the United Kingdom and Canada, that produced the first atomic bomb during World War II.**// I do not think the Manhattan Project was good for humanity why, because the after effect. the deadly radiation sickened people for many years,new diseases and birth defects just to name a few.nevertheless it was a good war to end the war quickly. **World War II: How the War Was Fought.** European Theater **Dwight Eisenhower** D-day. Was in charged of the Allied forces also Commander of the allied foreces. **George Marshall** 5k ships,10k aircraft,153k troops, 20k vehicles. operation overload, planned 1st peacetime draft,coordinated the largest expansion of the us military in history. his army liberated paris,led 1st army @ the battle of the bulge. **George Patton** He commanded the western fleet on D-day.
