Legacy
• WWII is a product of WWI harsh conditions of treaties and the economic
irresponsibility
• America lost its neutral stance after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor
• Britain and France kept appeasing Hitler which was never enough.
• Problems with the USSR continued and would leave its imprint on the next
half century.
• US again helped the allies when a war in Europe, but it did consume the
whole nation. This helped the US get out of the Great Depression.
• Also, the US was left with the moral decision and effects of the dropping of
the Nuclear Bombs on Japan. This changed the way countries interacted
with each other in times of war.
