After the first bomb dropped on Pearl Harbor, the war became America’s War. No longer divided by region, American’s stood together as a whole. World War II became America’s War.
WWII brought our country together. When the first troops were sent off to battle, America became united in the war. Before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Americans were divided. The day before the bombing, 40% of Americans felt it wasn’t good for America to get involved in another bloody battle. The day after the bombing, December 8, 1941, the American people had a change of heart. There were more enlistments on that day than any other day in American history.
The troops had such a determination to make the Japanese pay for what they did; they kept fighting no matter the blood loss, no matter how tired they were. Troops were sent to battle from all over the world.
