Under the allotment system, many American Indian families made an effort to succeed at farming but often failed.

The allotment system was created by the Dawes Act. The Dawes Act was an Act of Congress of February 8, 1887, regulating in the United States the distribution of land to Native Americans, in the Indian Territory that will become Oklahoma in 1907. It carried the name of the Massachusetts senator Henry L. Dawes, his principal initiator. The law was amended in 1891 and in 1906 by the Burke Act.

The law pursued two main objectives: first of all, the community structure of the Indians was to be broken and the Indians thus integrated into American society. The Indians should become farmers. As such, according to official opinion, they would need far less land than they claimed for their traditional non-sedentary lifestyle as hunters and gatherers. The Indians themselves fought mostly against a life as a farmer, especially those of the northern Plains. These saw the farm work as unworthy and restrictive. Another advantage of the parcelling saw the government in the liberated surplus land, which it could sell at a profit to whites. Overall, the Indians lost thereby 36 million hectares of a total of 55 million hectares in 1887.

Answer: America had to get involved in the war.

Explanation:

Just like in the First World War, when America remained neutral, a similar thing happened at the beginning of the Second World War. We were forced to defend ourselves. America did not enter the war on its own but was drawn in. So the United States did not intend to be part of that global madness, but the country came to a situation where it had to defend itself. The attack on Pearl Harbor directly violated the integrity and sovereignty of the country. America was one of the world's most powerful powers at the time, so there was a moral obligation to fight the Third Reich's brutal policies and their allies.

If the United States had not been involved in the war, then the world would not be the same today. It is likely that after the Soviet Union and Britain, the United States would be the target of Hitler and his allies. Scenarios like Pearl Harbor would probably be even more so if the country had not joined the war in time. Hitler hated all those who emerged victorious from the First World War; he considered them guilty of Germany's situation. The United States was also on the list of those countries. Therefore, if America had not entered the war, and Hitler had won, the world would have been a terrible place.
