    Part 1: The Military Experience World War II actually had its origins at the termination of World War 1 when the allied countries of that time defeated Germany which was ruled by Kaiser Wilhelm and her allies. The major countries that opposed Germany in World War 1 were Great Britain, France and the United States. The nations that were joined with Germany in opposition to these countries were Austria and Turkey. When these nations were eventually defeated their empires were dismantled by the victors of the war and they were forced to make war reparations which basically means that they were made to pay huge fines to the victor nations which eventually became ruinous to the defeated nations economies and led to their eventual fiscal collapse. On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean there was a period of time a fter WW1 that the United States enjoyed a decade of prosperity called the Roaring Twenties which actually gave rise to illegal bootlegging, and eventually to organized crime. But then in 1929 the stock market crash occurred on Wall Street and ushered in the period of time in American history known as the Great Depression. The Great Depression was right behind the attack on Pearl Harbor, a primary reason for the entrance of the United States into World War II. The Depression not only affected the American economy but also the economies of Europe. Without American dollars being invested in European markets these European nations came face to face with economic and industrial decline that eventually spread globally and also to the Asian economy of the Japanese Empire. America seeing Japanese aggression against its Asian neighbors imposed economic sanctions against the nation which greatly angered the Japanese and hampered their plans for Asian domination and eventually led to the planned attack at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands.
