War Again?
These days there are very few colonies in the traditional sense. But it wasn't that long ago that colonialism was very common around the world. How do you think your life would be different if this were still the case? If World War II hadn’t occurred, this might be a reality.
The imperialists swept over Asia and Africa, with Italy and France taking control of large parts of North Africa. Imperialism pitted European countries against each other as potential competitors or threats.
German militarization alarmed other European nations, which then began to build up their militaries, too. Defensive alliances among nations were forged. These complex interdependencies were one factor that led to World War I.

Germany was a late participant in the imperial game, so it pursued colonies with a single-minded intensity. To further its imperial goals, Germany also began to build up its military in order to defend its colonies and itself against other European nations.

President Franklin Roosevelt and other leaders, however, recognized the threat Germany presented. And when Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, Roosevelt called a special session of Congress to revise the U.S. Neutrality Act of 1935.

Though U.S. contributions of armaments helped, they did little to turn the tide against the Nazis. When France fell to the Nazis in June 1940, Roosevelt greatly increased munitions and other weapons supplies to Britain.
Then, on December 7, 1941, Japanese bombers attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. About 2,500 Americans were killed. This direct attack against U.S. soil and U.S. citizens galvanized the public, which now demanded U.S. entry into the war to defeat the aggressors.
In August 1941, the United States and Great Britain had crafted and signed the Atlantic Charter, a document that defined the goals of Allied nations for, during, and after the war.
