WORLD WAR II (1936-1945)
World War Two was America’s finest hour. The US fought a two-front war against determined and capable enemies of almost unspeakable evil – Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. The US’s “Greatest Generation” left home to fight for the freedom of others and by most accounts fought with courage, honor and dignity. By out-producing the Axis Powers and by leading the Allied coalition, the US saved the world from totalitarian rule. However, moral questions remain about the end of the war – the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki – and the conduct of the war in general.
