America and the Great War

US at War

The emergence of the World War II is a historical successor to the First World War which included a series of worldwide military aggressions This conflict was between two rival parties , the Allies and the Axis Allies comprising of the Soviet Republic , United States of America and United Kingdom . On the other hand , Axis powers were concentrated on Germany , Italy and Japan . This war was the most widespread in the world
