Ok lets see, Independance from England = victory. Spanish/American war = victory. Civil war = victory for the Union. French Indian war = victory. WWI = victory for the side we were on. WWII same as WWI. Korea = draw (but Americas goal of saving South Korea was achieved). Vietnam = Victory  (the US never lost a majjor offensive). Panama = Victory, Grenada = Victory, Desert Storm = Victory (all military goals were met) \n\nSo, I'm not really sure what you are talking about. The US military is a tool or weapon. Its the best weapon in the world. But like any weapon it depends on the firer.

They were the first US female "combat" unit in World War 1. Essentially, they were telephone operators, but were enlisted and sworn into the US Army.

The First World War, or (before 1939) the Great War, was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice on November 11, 1918. The Allied Powers (led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia, and, after 1917, the United States) defeated the Central Powers (led by the German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire). The war caused the collapse of four empires and a radical change in the map of Europe and the Middle East.

We think we won the war not because we won it alone (although I would say the USSR has a much bigger claim on being a deciding factor than the UK) because you were losing alone, and we stepped in and helped turn the tide.  You were holding your own and preventing an invasion on the UK, but losing ground in the Pacific and couldn’t hold out forever in the UK proper, either.  The US stepped in, and was the help you needed to win on the Western European front.  The USSR has a stronger claim as well because it fought a vicious war with levels of self-sacrifice that the UK never even close to matched (although this isn’t to attack the UK – it is a good thing for the people there that they weren’t invaded and didn’t have any Stalingrads or Leningrad sieges), which is why they get more credit as well.  The US also feels like it deserves a thank you because it wasn’t invaded by the Nazis and of its geographic location meant that it probably could have held out indefinitely – unlike the UK, it had a choice about entering the war, but did so anyway, at a great cost in lives and money.  In the Pacific, the US provided more troops and infrastructure than did the UK (again, not because the UK was lazy or somehow worse at fighting, but because they had less men, less money and less production capacity as well as more pressing threats to the UK itself, and were stretched as far as it could be), and afterwards returned much of the area it freed to the UK.  We also were responsbile for the reconstruction and reformation of Japan.  The British helped there, true, but they had to work on reconstructing their own lands (much of which was funded by the US’s Marshall Plan), so the again the bulk of the effort was the US’s.  So we see it as we earned a decent share of the credit there too.\n\nIf anything, i woudl argue that the USSR deserves mroe credit - for positical reasons their contributions were downplayed by the West during the Cold War. I wouldn't give Canada too much credit fo rhelping form day one - their contributions were worthy, but they had no choice in helping; the Kig of England was their head of state. If England was bombed, they had to get involved.  The US only had to get invovled if to help the other states (it could have left Hawaii and the other Pacific holdings as the Japanese thought it would and continued peacefully as the continental US plus Alaska for a long time).\n\nPS Why are you so angry about htis?  Did you fight in WWII and feel you aren't getting your fair share of the redit?  are you generally bitter that yours is not the wealthiest adn msot powerful country?  If you are Canadian - be grateful for this.  You spend minimal amounts on your military because you know that the US woul dnever allow Canada to be invaded.  You then spend your money on social programs such as national health and inexpensive univeristy education.

Actually, some of your assertions are just incorrect, specifically the idea that the combatants in Europe were ready to give up and have a victor-less peace. I have read in at least two different places that, had the USA not brought in fresh troops, the Western Allies were willing to last until at least 1921 before another major offensive.\n\nThe impetus that brought the USA into the war, the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare, was ordered by Field Marshall Hindenburg over the objection of both the Kaiser and the Reichstag. This was not a 'few petty ships' but had serious loss of life and was a direct challenge to the concept of both the rules of war on the sea and the rights of neutral nations (this is applicable even today, note the United States re-flagging of Kuwaiti tankers).\n\nIf Germany was ready for a victor-less peace as you suggest, they were in a perfect position to lead by example at Brest-Litovsk. Instead, Germany had set up a system of puppet governments along Russia's western frontier with the intention of the war lasting many years longer. The terms at Brest Litovsk were far more harsh than the terms at Versailles, regardless of what anyone claims, and if the Germans had spent less money and energy on cheating (yes, cheating before Hitler came to power!), Germany could have met its obligations with much fewer repercussions. The entry of the United States did not make German defeat a certainty because the amount of troops the United States would put into the field (2 million) would not replace the amount of soldiers withdrawn from the war with the surrender of Soviet Russia and the crushing of Rumania and Serbia. Ludendorf had ordered the 1918 offensive out of panic, and had directed it just as badly. If, instead, he had rescinded the order for War Socialism and allowed German industry to make windfall profits off of the war again as they had before 1916, Germany would have been fine.\n\nIn 1914, Russia had not yet declared war on anyone, but had instead issued an order for a partial mobilization supporting Serbia which freaked everyone out. When Nicholas refused to back down, that was when Germany declared war on Russia, not the other way around.\n\nHowever, three German judges in 1923 could have averted World War II, and they had all the evidence they needed to do it. Hitler had repeatedly said that the Weimar Republic had to be destroyed, and he took action in his Putsch. The first charge leveled against Hitler in the aftermath was treason, which as an Austrian national would have required Hitler to be deported immediately. By his words and by his actions, he was most certainly guilty, but one of the three judges was an admirer of Hitler's.

The United States and Britain!\nAnd here is the reason for it since the first World War!\n\nhttp://www.thelastoutpost.com/site/1330/default.aspx

1) The US government, despite its pledge of neutrality, extended a large amount of credit to Great Britain starting in 1940; the British used it to buy everything from guns and ammunition to merchant ships.  US merchant ships carried cargo to England before we were involved in the war (US merchant ships were also supplying Nazi Germany, but on a much smaller scale).  President Roosevelt persuaded Congress to approve the "Lend-Lease" program, in which we gave Britain about 100 old US Navy destroyers in exchange for leases on British territory in the Western Hemisphere.\n\n2) Hitler marched his troops into the Rhine, the Sudetenland, the rest of Czechoslovakia, and Austria over the protests of Britain, France, and the US.  On Sept. 1, 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland, thereby starting WW2 in Europe.  The Poles fought valiantly against Hitler's forces; when they took refuge behind the Vistula River, and it seemed they could hold on until the arrival of the British and French, Stalin entered the war and invaded Poland from the east.  About 2 weeks later it was all over for the Poles.\nStalin also invaded Finland on the flimsy pretext of protecting his northern frontier.  The Finns, although outnumbered and outgunned, held off the Soviets for several months.\nJapan annexed Korea in 1910.  The militarists of Japan also invaded Manchuria (China) in 1933, trying to create what they called the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere."  In their delirious minds, they thought that Asia would thrive if all of it was under their rule.  The rest of Asia disagreed.  Japanese brutality in Manchuria caused the US to enact a trade embargo against Japan.  The Japanese used the embargo as an excuse for the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, thereby precipitating America's entry into WW2.\n\n3) WW2 is thought of as "the good war" because in modern times, the difference between dictatorship and freedom was never so stark.  On one side were the Axis powers, odious dictatorships all, engaging in sneak attacks, breaking every treaty they signed, and trampling on the freedoms of the sovereign nations they invaded (not to mention those of their own people).  Arrayed against them were the Allies, consisting (mostly) of the democratically-run, freedom-loving nations of the world.  Hitler and Tojo thought that "Deutschland über Alles" and "Dai Nippon" would rule the world through their "Übermensch" and "Bushido" warriors.  But both of them underestimated the fury of aroused democracies.  To paraphrase Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the architect of the Pearl Harbor attack: "I fear that all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."  He was right.\nThe Soviets' entry on the Allied side of the war complicated the moral equation a bit.  They had a history of engineering mass repression, purges, and widespread starvation against their own people ever since the Bolshevik triumph in the Russian Revolution of 1918.  Stalin was quite happy to help Hitler carve up eastern Europe when it suited his purposes.  And the Soviets, despite warnings that the Nazis were preparing to invade Russia, supplied the Nazis with much-needed food and fuel right up to the day of the Nazi invasion in 1940.

Civil war made us a country instead of a bunch of states, the Spanish American war established our control of the America's and the First World War turned the US into the center of world instead of Europe.

U.S. entered WW2 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Almost immediately after the attack, the congress almost unanimously declared war on Japan. (only one person was against the war).  \n\nWhen U.S. declared war on Japan, Germany declared war on U.S. So, U.S. unanimously declared war on Germany. \n\nA) Italy and Japan were allied with Germany\n\nRussia was also allied with Germany but Hitler broke the Hitler-Stalin Pact and attacked Russia. Russia joined the Allied forces afterwards.\n\nPoland was never allied with Germany.\n\nAustria and Hungary were allied with Germany in WW1.

There were over a million Americans in World War I in 1918. Who are you looking for?

The fault lies mostly with Adolf Hitler, although the German people willingly followed where he led.  The Treaty of Versailles in retrospect was too harsh, but that is hindsight, which is always 20/20.  The Allies at the end of WWI did the best they could to get the various countries to come up with a workable treaty.

I am not going to answer that question for you because that seems like a homework question - but as I normally do I will give you websites so that you can read find out the answers for yourself (I am sure that is what your teacher would want you to do - answer this question yourself - plus you wont learn the answer well if I just tell you it).\n\nFor WWI go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war_one#Causes\n\nFor WWII go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Two#Causes\n\nNeutrality Acts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrality_Acts\n\nGood Luck!!!
