Explain the transition from isolationism to participation in WWII in a paragraph.

History

Answer:

Explanation:

Roosevelt was not an isolationist at heart. But WWI was still fresh in the minds of the general public. Many families had lost relatives which up until WWII was the most devastating war the world had seen. Many Americans didn't want to get involved in Europe's politics and problems. A marvelous movie has been made about this called <em>The Americanization of Emily</em> staring a very young Julie Andrews (who does not sing a note) and a very handsome earthy James Garner. It captures beautifully how Americans felt about getting involved in other people's wars.

Roosevelt himself wanted to help Great Britain, but the problems with domestic worries in the United States forced him to hesitate. He needed something to motivate the public into getting into a war they did not want.

Japan provided him with Pearl Harbor. The American Public was moved into action. Some of the Japanese knew it, including the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor (Admiral Yamamoto who famously said "All we have accomplished was to awaken a sleeping giant.")

So began the bloodiest war the planet has ever seen.

I'm sorry this is so long, but you cannot talk about the transition period of WWII without knowing how people felt.

<h3>How did the U.S. gain independence?</h3>

After the Coercive Acts of 1774, the 1st Continental Congress met to decide what to do. The 2nd Continental Congress followed a year later and the Declaration of Independence came in 1776.

The Battle of New York took place in 1776 and 1777 and Burgoyne’s Surrendered at Saratoga which led to the French allying with the Americans.

The Battle of Yorktown virtually signaled American victory which was solidified by the Treaty of Paris.
