It was the Great Depression I believe
On December 11, 1941, the United States entered World War II. Mobilization began on December 8, 1941, when the United States declared war on Japan, one day after the Pearl Harbor assaults.
- The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor prompted the United States of America to enter World War II. However, prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States took an indirect role in the war by selling munitions with Allied countries such as Britain. President Franklin D. Roosevelt perceived Nazi Germany as a threat to the United States and believed that arming the Allied democracies in Europe was important.
- The United States began the war neutral, but ideologically supported the Allies. Although Congress did not initially approve military force against the Axis, the passage of the Lend-Lease Act was the first step toward entering World War II. While transporting Lend-Lease supplies to the Allies, the USS Greer was assaulted by Germans, prompting President Roosevelt to declare a shoot-on-sight policy.
- The real, direct military engagement began only after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese provocation prompted Congress to vote virtually overwhelmingly to declare war on Japan. Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany, declared war on the United States shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. These events resulted in America's direct military involvement in both the European and Pacific theaters, finally leading to the Axis countries' demise.

José de San Martín vs. Simón Bolívar
José de San Martín, 1778-1850, and Simon Bolívar, 1783-1830, were two of the primary causes of independence of countries from colonial powers in Latin America. Simon Bolívar is primarily known for liberating Venezuela, and he is called the Liberator of the North. José de San Martín, known as the Liberator of the South, is primarily known for freeing Argentina. Both men are well-known and lived during about the same time period and even met each other. However, their areas of liberation, methods of liberation and motives were very different from each other.
Bolívar and Martín differed in areas of jurisdiction – Venezuela and Argentina, respectively, as well as methods and means of revolution. Bolívar was 26 years old when Venezuela declared its independence in 1811, and under the revolutionary leader he brought back Francisco de Miranda, who had long advocated freedom from the Spanish rule Venezuela was once under, to become Venezuela’s leader. However, after an erratic and unsuccessful leadership, Bolívar captured Miranda (after his rebel army was stopped) and betrayed him by turning over to the Spanish, but the Spanish only sent Bolívar into exile (unlike Miranda, who they imprisoned). After returning from exile, Bolívar taught creoles that they could rebel successfully against 3 decades of Spanish rule, but was then drove out by the Spaniards. After being chased out of Venezuela three more times, while using terror tactics the Spanish had once used against Creoles such as suffocation, while gaining the support of the British and a bond with Haiti, and while declaring that he would abolish slavery as his first official act (if in power), he decided to build a guerilla warfare army in 1817. After defeating the Spanish in New Granada (which consisted of present-day Columbia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Panama) using guerilla tactics and the help of thousands of mercenaries from Britain and Germany, he met with San Martín and desired to take advantage of Spain’s falling empire (due to political disagreements and an army revolt), but did not collaborate with him on a major scale. Bolívar formed a series of nations called “Grand Columbia” out of New Granada from which he intended to make a “model of strength and aggression from outside and of cooperation inside”, however, this unification soon disbanded itself (Adams, 33). Bolívar’s last battle ended in splendor in 1823, as it was entirely between cavalry with swords and lances.
