They are taking countries one at a time. America is merely waiting for the German war machine to tire down. What America is ignorant about is that it is next. Geisel , Theodor. Dr. Seuss Goes to War. N.d. Cartoon. WWII in ColorWeb. 5 Dec 2013. <http://www.ww2incolor.com/art/ww2DrSeuss-Appeaser.html>. This cartoon depicts a man, the appeaser, who probably represents America, Britain, and France using their policies of appeasement. They are feeding lollipops, or other nations, to Nazi Germany. They think just one

more country and it will be done. Germany, however, wants more and more, for it cant be appeased. N.d. Cartoon.

In this picture an old man, the Neutrality Act, is holding back a boat, the aid to win the war. This symbolizes our separation from the war is keeping back the supply and armies the U. S. could end the war with. We are like stubborn old men keeping what should be shared to ourselves. N.d. Cartoon.

He needs it to continue the war. There is a burnt town in the background. This is what the soldier hopes to prevent from happening to us by fighting. It is what we should have stopped.

Shima, Terry. N.p.. Web. 3 Feb 2014. <http://www.americanveteranscenter.org/avq/avq-issue-ii/wwii-thejapanese-american-experience/>. America was rather hypocritical with the Japanese-American prisoners. They first imprisoned them like traitors, then asked the men for recruits. The confused men didnt understand, but they were eager to prove their loyalty. They were being given this by force when it was already their right. 2011. Photograph.

Instead of being on the outside defending from violent protesters , they guarded the Japanese-Americans themselves. There are also rows of small, simple houses that served as the living space for the people. These camps were often in bad weather conditions and poorly sheltered.

Annotated Bibliography
Secondary sources Blum, John. V Was For Victory. 1st ed. New York: 1976. Print. This book described the United States in WWII, how it entered, and how it fought the war. It goes from describing exact details of the battles to depicting the political debates in congress. The Japanese-American problem is also present. The path to war was hard for America. Fighting it was not any easier. Brajkovic, Henry. The Foreign Policy of Franklin D. Roosevelt To The Entry Into World War II. Diss. Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute, 1978. Print. <http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1978/3/78.03.05.x.html>. This passage from a curriculum shows Americas stubbornness. It denied the Jews immigration into its soil even if they are suffering. The government would not aid them unless other nations helped. Despite many protests put on by Jewish-Americans, the verdicts seemed final. Dunn, Susan. "The Debate Behind U.S. Intervention in World War II." n.pag. The Atlantic. Web. 5 Dec 2013.

<http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/07/the-debatebehind-us-intervention-in-world-war-ii/277572/>. President Roosevelt knew war in the U. S. was coming. He thought anyone who believed America could remain secure and avoid war were shrimps. Congress was one of these, as they tried to be isolationists. Roosevelt knew, though, that the country was heading for war. It was all a matter of when war struck. Felice, William. "Moral Responsability in a Time of War." Social Justice. 35. (2008): 28-48. Print. This quote shows concern for the responsibility of governments in general. It does apply to the American government in WWII. We had a responsibility to end the war long before we actually joined. The U. S. should be more accountable with aiding its allies. Heinrichs, Waldo. Threshold of War. New York: Oxford University Press, Inc., 1988. Print. This passage from a book about the United States casual entry into the war describes just how much thought was put into the dilemma of fighting or

staying isolationist. Congress could not decide. Roosevelt may have had a secret desire to fight and end the war, but he did not openly display this. Americans either wanted to fight or preferred being safe and peaceful. Many questions would still have to be answered. Hodgson, Godfrey. America In Our Time. New York: Random House, Inc., 1978. Print. This section of a book on America in the 20th century states that WWII got the economy back on its feet after the terrible depression. The war brought up production rates and gave many jobs to workers laid off beforehand. It also further raised Americas position of both an independent and isolated country. It became one of the most powerful powers in the world. It possessed the nuclear bomb, one of many items that raised its power.

This map shows the expansion of the Japanese empire in WWII. They were expanding fast with no real enemies to stop them. China was weakened by a civil war, and Russia was preoccupied. The responsibility as Chinas allies to attack Japan and aid them fell to America. The U. S. did not take up the sword against Japan, however, merely cancelling trade with them instead. "Japanese Relocation During WWII." National Archives. N.p.. Web. 2014. <http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/japaneserelocation/>. The Japanese in America were citizens who had all American rights. These rights were violated when the government placed them in internment camps. They were supposed to be protected and treated well, but they were guarded by soldiers who pointed their weapons at them and surrounded by walls that were topped with barbed wire. It was wrong for the U.S. to do these things when Italian and German Americans were free. Kimball, Warren. "Franklin D. Roosevelt and World War II." Presidential Studies Quarterly. 34.1 (2004): 83-99. Print. This is an article written about Roosevelts choices about the war. According to some historians, he planned to sneak the U.S. into the fighting indirectly, 3 Feb

and then soon declare full war. Perhaps this was thought because of what he said about Hitler being an evil madman. Some even think he made Pearl Harbor an enticing target, and that when Japan attacked, the U.S. would retaliate. This may or may not be the case. "Mapping World History: WWII." Catawba College.edu. Ed. Charlie Charlie McAllister, n.d. Web. 6 Nov. 2013. <http://faculty.catawba.edu/cmcallis/history/mapping/world.htm>. This is a map of expansions between the Axis powers. It is the result of appeasement and isolationism. The Allies let the Axis take more and more land hoping the next nation would be all. It wasnt until Germany took Poland that the Allies declared war on the Axis. By then Germany had already begun to take over France. Nash, Gary B. "Chapter 15 Section 2: The War Begins." American Odyssey. Columbus: Glencow/McGraw Hill, 2004. 501. Print. Germany takes more and more nations by the throat. They are unchallenged and unopposed, but nobody does anything. Churchill complains about the smaller countries being smashed up by Germanys McAllister.

Web. 3 Feb 2014. <http://www.factualworld.com/article/Selective_Training_and_Se rvice_Act_of_1940>. The Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 required people to sign up and be drafted to fight. While this doesnt exactly break rights, for some men it isnt fair. It forces those who wanted to stay home to go away and perhaps never see their family again. It wasnt really necessary either, as many men joined the army after Pearl Harbor. It still continued after WWII however. Straub, Steve. Responsibility. 2011. Array. The Federalist PapersWeb. 5 Dec 2013. <http://www.thefederalistpapers.org/founders/founding-fatherposters/attachment/responsibility>. This picture shows how wrong America was by giving poor excuses instead of admitting defeat and giving a direct answer. The government struggled to avoid an answer when it should have given a simple yes or no. Although the U.S. gov. could have said no to war, which would be an unwise answer, the American people should accept their decision. If America wouldve

entered the war firsthand instead of coming up with lame reasons to avoid war, it could have saved many lives. TVLEGENDS, , prod. George Takei on the Japanese internment camps during WWII. Perf. George Takei. Youtube, 2011. Web. 3 Feb <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yogXJl9H9z0>. This is an interview of a man who was sent to the U.S. internment camps. He went with his family as a small boy. He describes what many others do as a poor experience that an American citizen should not have to go through. He goes through the rough life many face in the next few years. "The War." PBS. PBS, n.d. Web. 5 Dec 2013. <http://www.pbs.org/thewar/at_home_civil_rights_japanese_american.ht m>. Even though Japanese men bombed Pearl Harbor, America had no right infringing on Japanese-American rights in such a rude and abrupt manner. America had no evidence of spies or traitors in their lot. This shows one of the many injustices in war. It is a violation of American citizens rights. 2014.

S. had a right to protect itself and its people. By avoiding war it might prevent death but could also lead to destruction. By abusing citizens like Japanese-Americans, the nation isnt really protecting itself. It is attacking its own citizens World War II Deaths. N.d. Chart. Ptak Science BooksWeb. 17 Feb 2014. <http://longstreet.typepad.com/thesciencebookstore/2010/05/end-of-warin-europe-may-8-1945.html>. This chart shows the death that was wrought during the second Great War. Many of the Allied nations suffered the higher casualties, and many of them were civilians. Some died in the fighting and occupations, and others in holocaust camps. America should have prevented these by entering the war sooner.

WWII timeline. Digital image. Freewebs.com. N.p., 2011. Web. 6 Nov. 2013. <http://www.freewebs.com/whitect321/Causes.jpg>. World War II was inevitable. Germany slowly took country by country. It built up its army and joined with Italy and ensured peace with Russia by splitting Poland. It took almost four years for the war to officially begin and for the allies to see sense. 2011.
