Answer:

The military history of the United States in World War II covers the war against the Axis Powers, starting with the 7 December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. During the first two years of World War II, the United States had maintained formal neutrality as made official in the Quarantine Speech delivered by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937, while supplying Britain, the Soviet Union, and China with war material through the Lend-Lease Act which was signed into law on 11 March 1941, as well as deploying the US military to replace the British forces stationed in Iceland. Following the "Greer incident" Roosevelt publicly confirmed the "shoot on sight" order on 11 September 1941, effectively declaring naval war on Germany and Italy in the Battle of the Atlantic.[1] In the Pacific Theater, there was unofficial early US combat activity such as the Flying Tigers.

pearl harbor attack

Explanation:

To weaken U.S. naval forces in the Pacific, Japan bombed the naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. America declared war on Japan, and on December 11, Germany and Italy lived up to their agreement with Japan and declared war on the United States.

FOR QUESTION 2

Roosevelt described his style of foreign policy as "the exercise of intelligent forethought and of decisive action sufficiently far in advance of any likely crisis." As practiced by Roosevelt, big stick diplomacy had five components. First it was essential to possess serious military capability that would force the adversary to pay close attention. At the time that meant a world-class navy. Roosevelt never had a large army at his disposal. The other qualities were to act justly toward other nations, never to bluff, to strike only when prepared to strike hard, and the willingness to allow the adversary to save face in defeat.

The idea is negotiating peacefully but also having strength in case things go wrong. Simultaneously threatening with the "big stick", or the military, ties in heavily with the idea of Realpolitik, which implies a pursuit of political power that resembles Machiavellian ideals.It is comparable to gunboat diplomacy, as used in international politics by the powers.

What reason do historians usually give for early English victories durning the Hundred Years War?
KengaRu [80]
They were technologically superior.

By this I mean technologically superior for the time period. The English possessed the better weapons. For example they had the long bows which were better than the normal bows as well as cannons which is something that turned many of the battles in their favor.

Which of these statements is true about U. S. Constitution?
Gnoma [55]
What is a true statement about the us constitution?....well .... George Washington is not mentioned in the text of the US Constitution, however he was President of the Constitutional Convention, and a signatory to the document. George Washington became President of the United States by election a year after the constitution was ratified.

The oldest constitution still in use is the Constitution of San Marino established in 1600; nearly two centuries before the US constitution. and The US Constitution was inspired in part by the Magna Carta, but is very different in format and detail.

Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention which wrote the US Constitution; at the time he was the US Ambassador to France so had no part in writing that document..
