THE SIEGE OF WAKE ISLAND (DECEMBER 1941) Submitted by Jason McDonald on Mon, 2014-07-28 01:21 Wake Island has the distinction of being the only time defenders were able to prevent a landing during World War II. The marines and naval personnel on Wake , a refueling station for the Pan American Clipper, would become heroes to the American public starved for good news as the Japanese advancedacross the Pacific.

THE SOVIET UNION IN WORLD WAR II Submitted by Jason McDonald on Mon, 2014-07-28 01:16 The Soviet Union had fought with Japan over the Manchurian border. An uneasy truce had existed since September 1939, when, in 1941, both nations realized that the coming war in Europe would mean that they would have to protect their interests elsewhere. Still, both nations had significant forces in Northern China in case the otherattacked.

UNITED STATES IN WORLD WAR II Submitted by Jason McDonald on Mon, 2014-07-28 01:13 The President of the United States had a strategic dilemma throughout the start of World War II. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was secretly aiding the British in their war against Nazi Germany .

PRELUDE TO WAR: UNITED STATES Submitted by Jason McDonald on Mon, 2014-07-28 01:12 As Japan was opened by the Admiral Matthew C. Perry in 1854, the United States was a nation of contradictions. As Perry's black ships were landing in Edo Bay, his nation was growing bitterly divided over the issue of state's rights versus national interests. Japan seemed very far off, especially to a nation that was centered on the Atlantic .TAGS:

PRELUDE TO WAR: UNITED KINGDOM Submitted by Jason McDonald on Mon, 2014-07-28 00:51 After World War I , Great Britain was marked by the death of a million of her young men, more than she was to lose in World War II. Her leaders, many old men overdue for retirement whose replacements were dead in Flanders field, were gripped by the memory of their war dead . The true horror of trench warfare had been kept from the British public, but not to the same extent that theGerman public was.
