World War II began when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. The invasion began on September 1st, but the war didn't begin officially until Great Britain and France declared war on Germany. Prior to invading Poland, Germany took over Austria and Czechoslovakia. The nations of Europe, led by Great Britain and France, hoped that by allowing Adolf Hitler, Germany's dictator, to have additional territory, that they could avoid war. Hitler, however, saw the concessions as a sign of weakness and continued his conquest of Europe. To create a justification for invading Poland, Heinrich Himmler devised a plot in which a prisoner was taken from a German concentration camp, dressed in a Polish army uniform and shot near the border between Germany and Poland. The Germans then used the dead soldier as evidence of a Polish attack on Germany. The German army quickly defeated the Polish forces and proceeded to attack and conquer most of Western Europe, including Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and France. The United States entered World War II on December 8th, 1941 by declaring war on Japan for bombing the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7th. The U.S. entered the war in Europe when Germany declared war on December 11th, 1941.

What was the Sedition of Act 1918 and do you believe it depends on someone's freedom of speech, Why or Why not?
zaharov [31]
The Sedition Act of 1918 (Pub.L. 65–150, 40 Stat. 553, enacted May 16, 1918) was an Act of the United States Congress that extended the Espionage Act of 1917 to cover a broader range of offenses, notably speech and the expression of opinion that cast the government or the war effort in a negative light or interfered with the sale of government bonds. In my opinion, the United States Government enacting this law was bad because it limited free speech during a time of war and they didn’t want to look bad so they basically told their citizens to shut up. People should be allowed to say what they want without getting arrested for it, but at the time the United States was trying to win a war so they clamped down hard on anyone who opposed the war effort. The targets of prosecution under the Sedition Act were typically individuals who opposed the war effort, including pacifists, anarchists, and socialists. Violations of the Sedition Act could lead to as much as twenty years in prison and a fine of $10,00”. More than two thousand cases were filed by the government under the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918, and of these more than one thousand ended in convictions. The Sedition Act of 1918 was repealed in 1920, although many parts of the original Espionage Act remained in force.
