Chapter 27 Questions-

 * What were the steps that led the U.S. to declare war and become officiallhy involved in WWII?
 * The most obvious step is when the Japanese attacked Pear Harbor in 1941 because the U.S. was trying to stay neutral in the war however since the Japanese attacked America attacked later on by bombing Japan in Hiroshima.
 * Failure payment from debt of WWI 1939
 * Fall of france and America supporting the Allies. 1939
 * QUESTION 1: America ws fairly involved in WWII before the bombing of Pearl Harbor by offering loans and armaments to the Allied Powers, which to a large extent contradicted its "official" position of neutrality.
 * QUESTION 2: There were a number of ssteps leading the U.S. to join WWII, including tensions over loan payments violations of the Treaty of Versailles and aggressive actions by the Axis Powers, Americcan support of the Allies, and culminating with the bombing of Pearl harbor by Japan.

WHD View Point-
This was the bombing of Japan. It was verysignificant beccause it was the turning point ofthe war and that is when America threatens Russia greatly and also gains acouple of allies like China and Russia. This would also cause Japan to surrender after the second bombing, that was the main point of the American mission in the WWII; to stop Japan from spreading into Asia. The main reason was because they were allies with China.
 * The reasons that most people gave to drop the bomb werent that good enought reason's to do it.
 * John W.Dower's said that one of the most influential reasons of World War II was racism.
 * Germany and Hitler werent America's main focus because they were more concerned in Japan and trying to stop them from taking more land of Asia
 * FDR stopped the circular loans and forgave the nations involved in it.
 * The basic idea of the COLD WAR was for one country or nation to stop another and not let there beliefes and influences Spread.[[image:http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01371/NAGASAKI-AN_1371978c.jpg]]
