Reply #7: After World I to World War II [View All]

[Nikia]

It reminds me of our current era. In both eras, we thought that everything would be great after the war (in current era, the Cold War). There was a big divide in values and wealth. The divide in wealth lead to a depression in both cases (Our current recession has not been termed that but things are bad.). Americans didn't really want to be involved with the world at large until Americans were attacked. In both cases, the presidents probably knew about it before it happened and let it to allow them to beome involved in war (I do think it is good that we were involved in Worl War II.). There are important differences like social policy wise, Bush is more like Hoover than FDR.
