Was the fact America joined the war help the Allies win the war?

Question

what you think, and why.

need the info ASAP any1 that can help will be voted as best answer

Answer 1

The immediate cause was in retaliation for the unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor. Prior to that, FDR advocated for the US to join the democracies and 'free world' in combating the facsists.

Answer 2

Well, ya! England couldn't have continued to hold out without the lend/lease program instituted by Roosevelt to supply them with arms, ships, planes, and food. I think that without America, if Germany had resumed the air war, then England might have eventually been invaded. By the time America joined the war only England and Russia still stood against Germany.

And it was a good thing for England that Hitler invaded Russia, 'cause then he was fighting on two fronts and did not have the men or materials to do so. Even if England had fallen I don't think Hitler could have conquered Russia once they woke up. They kept moving their industry including whole factories and plants further to the interior and continued their war production and there were just a lot more Russians than there were Germans.

Of course, America also helped Russia out with supplies, just as it did England.

In the Pacific many of the able bodied men of the British Empire were already fighting the European war, so when America was attacked it really fought alone there, although there were British troops in India and Burma. Again, Japan, like Germany, thought it would be a quick war, which it wasn't, and Japan did not have the resources or the men to outlast America.

Answer 3

In both of the World Wars, America's entry on the Allied side was a key factor in the Allied victory. The fact that America also waited for two or three years before entering each of the World War (after Europe had pretty much exhausted itself) was a key factor in America's emergence from the World Wars as the world's leading superpower.

Answer 4

Absolutely no doubt about it, in the case of World War 2.

Who would be better able than Churchill to judge the matter? And, despite Lend-Lease and everything else, he still feared defeat and occupation for Britain, until he heard the news of Pearl Harbour. Then, without even waiting to hear what the American response to it would be, he wrote that "I knew . . . we had won after all; . . . Hitler's fate was sealed".

Answer 5

Yes, it helped.
However, not so much as stated in your schoolbooks.

1. The Lend Lease program accounted only for 6% (six percent) of what USSR produced.
2. The Lend Lease program started only in 1942 when the most significant battles were already won by the Red Army, and the war reached its turning point, Stalingrad Battle.
3. The overall American manpower on European battlefield was insignificant.
4. American invasion started only in 1944 when the Red Army was victoriously marching towards Germany. American politicians were just in a hurry of dividing post-war European pie. Cynical, but true.

Answer 6

Which war?

If you mean Iraq - America started this war.

If you mean World War 2 - America took part because like every country if had no choice because many countries were being invaded.

If you think America is a saint when it comes to war - No they're not this is why they have many countries putting terrorism onto them because of America's interference within their past affairs.

America's economy is driven as a war driven nation.
They let their own people suffer and they'll never wake up.

Answer 7

Now.. Im pretty sure that they were dragged into the war because some goofs decided to bomb their boats. At first they didnt really want nothing to do with it.But **** hit the fan and they were pissed, hitler was comming and sooner or later they would have had to do something.

Yay for americans.
