Before the world war I, the US army and the marines (the last one, dissolute after the independence war by the Congress and reinstalled after the attack to pearl harbor, during the second world war) were modest and unprepared. Only after the attack by the Japanese of pearl harbor, US entered the second world war and their armed forces built and sent overseas, though, in the beginning, they were considered naïve and only by necessity trained, by the French army, during the occupation time of France, by the Nazis. By then, the weak arm forces of Europe received the new allied nations (US and Russia) as a reborn and thanks to their help. Finally, Hitler’s empire was destroyed, and the second WW won. US armed force becomes the hero and the cold war begun. His “friend” (URSS) turned into his major enemy for decades, which pushed them after their great victory in second WW, to strengthen their capabilities and power facing the possibility of a nuclear war against the Soviet Union.
