In short, Germany was close to being defeated, and America wanted to be part of the post war carve up (when territory was divided).  The US was supplying war materials to the Allies and could not do so while maintaining complete neutrality.  There was also the sinking of the British ship Lusitania which angered the US. Also, the Zimmerman telegram.

The United States entered World War I for numerous reasons. A German victory would have upset the established balance of power. Should England and her fleet fall into the hands of Germany, the United States would have been in extreme peril to further German expansion. Americans were also upset by the sinking of the Lusitania and the Sussex, both carrying US citizens, by German submarines. In his campaign of 1916, President Wilson had promised Americans that he would maintain freedom of the seas. This eventually led to direct US involvement in the war in order to stop German subs, which were ignoring the US's position of neutrality, from attacking US ships.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The following events in chronological order are:

The Pearl Harbor Attack

The Battle of Midway

VE Day

Hiroshima and Nagasaki

VJ Day

Explanation:

Pearl Harbor is a naval base for the U.S. near Hawaii. It was attacked by the Japanese Fighter aircraft in 1941. Japan became a powerful nation with its Imperial Japanese Army in the 1930s as they began territorial expansion in Asia and the Pacific Ocean. America fought with Japan when the Japanese Air Force attacked Pearl Harbor to take control of the Pacific Ocean.

The battle of Midway fought between American and Japanese fleets in the Pacific Ocean in 1942. This naval battle became one of the most vital for American naval victories. The U.S. Navy was able to begin a surprise attack on Japanese fleets in the Midway area.

Victory over Europe happened when the Allied defeat of Nazi Germany and the end of Adolf Hitler's Reich, recognising the end of the Second World War in Europe.

To stop the Japanese during the Second World War, America came up with plans of bombing the Japanese cities. The idea was to drop the bomb on populated Japanese city which would ultimately force the Japanese military to capitulate. Therefore, America decided to drop atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

Victory over Japan happened after the bombing of cities like Hiroshima and Nagasaki in august 1945. Emperor Hirohito surrenders and blames the use of the new bomb for the country's defeat.
