This was brought up in a conversation between myself, Ves, and Cluich (who stayed silent, and let us know that we were right on most points.)

Most Americans can not name who we fought in WWII. So, here's a little test.

Who did we fight, and what was the political motivation. No, I don't mean "because they were Nazi's", or "they killed the Jews". Every war has a deeper reason behind it.

We will never know all the reasons for the war. There are many reasons that have be given, but what do you think are the ones that have not been "declassified" for our eyes.

Please, PLEASE, keep the conspiracy theories to yourself. I realize that there will be some, but I mean like "We forced the Nazi's to attack", or "The President knew Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked months prior".

WWII really kicked up from a number of reasons: the rise of totalitarian ideologies, war reparations demanded of Germany after World War I, the effects of the Great Depression, and the lack of raw materials in Japan.

Economic strain on Germany, European Nations, America, and Japan really. Pearl Harbor and Invasion of Poland also brought America and Allied Powers into play against what could have possibly been an alliance between the swastika and the samuri.

Actually...it was Churchill who knew about the attack on pearl harbor months in advance, England had broken the coding on the enigma machine. At that time..England needed help defending against the Nazi war machine, the only way to get that help was to let pearl harbour get the shit bombed out of it, thus bringing america off the fence and into the fight
