History

When World War II began in September 1939, most Americans hoped the United States would remain neutral. Over the next two years, amid ongoing debates between those who wanted the United States to stay out of war and focus on the defense of the Western Hemisphere (isolationists) and those who favored proactively assisting Great Britain, even if it meant entering the war (interventionists), the United States slowly began to support the Allied powers. Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, ended this debate. The United States quickly declared war on Japan, and Germany soon responded by declaring war on the United States.

The United States joined the Allies’ fight against the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) in World War II to defend democracy, not to rescue Jewish victims of the Nazi regime. In January 1944, the US government created the War Refugee Board, charged with trying to rescue and provide relief for Jews and other minorities who were targeted by the Nazis. During the final year of the war, US rescue efforts saved tens of thousands of lives. In the spring of 1945, Allied forces, including millions of American soldiers defeated Nazi Germany and its Axis collaborators, ending the Holocaust.

Answer:

Hallucinations

Explanation:

Hallucinations are sensory experiences which seem actual, but which our mind creates and can affect all of our five senses. For example, seeing objects that are not there, hearing voices, experiencing body sensations or detecting odors that are not there. In other words, it refers to the sensory sensations that aren't triggered by the sensory organ. The popular culture of the 1960s was characterized by the use of various drugs to explore new ways of pleasure and the result was hallucination cases.
