Three Wars of the 1900s

Paper Summary:

This paper relates that the causes of three wars of the 1900s were not simple. The paper points out that World War I, called the Great World War, was complicated because Great Britain had established a relationship with France, which was not to come into conflict with her alliance with Japan. The paper also relates that, in World War II, the German conquest of Europe simply could not be overlooked; however, Japan's significance steps into World War II were underestimated. Although the U.S. was never involved in open physical warfare during the Cold War, other nations were involved in skirmishes as the result of communist expansion. In addition, the paper describes the role of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan in the Cold War.

From the Paper:

"Great Britain entered World War II after Hitler invaded Poland. Hitler's intention to invade Britain was no secret and only after America entered the war, did she stand a chance at survival. Great Britain needed the backing of the United States and Churchill needed Roosevelt. President Roosevelt and Winston Churchill shared what many would call a complicated relationship. It was only days after Pearl Harbor was bombed that Churchill ended up in Washington, ready to discuss the notion of war Roosevelt."
