US History WWI WWII

The Civil War , WWI , and WWII are some of the largest wars in the American history . WWI and WWII were global wars that were fought in alliance with additional countries while the Civil War was fought on American soil mainly against other Americans . These wars happened at different time periods and were caused by different events . American involvement in these wars was varied and the outcome both economically and socially for the US and foreign countries transformed the globe into its current map , not only by bs but also economical powers

The

Civil war was a conflict within the United States that began over slavery . Southern states believed they had the right to own slaves and the northern states supported the idea that all men were created equal Economically the North was more stable and the South took to an aggressive policy that eventually lead to there succession from the United State of American to form the Confederacy (Linden , G , 2001 . WWI was ultimately caused by the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 but the US did not officially enter the war until 1917 when Germany 's unrestricted submarine attacks and the discovery of the Zimmerman telegraph (the central powers proposal for Mexico to join the war if the US declared war ) caused the US to declare war (Wilson , W 1917 , Tuchman , B , 1985 . The United States joined WWII strongly after the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese , though the US had been supporting the Allies before this day . The origins of WWII can be drawn back to the Treaty of Versailles and the treatment of Germany after WWI .Of the three wars the Civil War was the only war in which the US caused and was fought on US land . Initially for both World Wars the US was not active at the start of the war but only entered the war after attacks forced them . The US was an independent country and did not rely on imports to survive , instead it exported to most sections of the globe making others dependent on them . It is interesting to note that the US isolationism , particularly for WWI in which the current President Woodrow Wilson to avoid the fighting while trying to bring about peace . The problems that caused the start of WWI did not involve the US nor did the fightiong occur anywhere near to US homeland It did make sense to stay apart until provoked , as President Wilson was when German submarines violated many international and human rights laws by shooting on passenger and merchant ships (Karp , W , 2003 . This isolationism was not as present in WWII when the US was supporting the Allies even though they had not officially entered into the war . Us territory was also threatened by the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese . The US were not catalists for the world wars but they were instrumental to the Allies victory in these conflicts

Economically the US benefited from these wars...
