World War II saw the United States initially staying neutral until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. This led to America joining the Allies alongside Britain and the Soviet Union against the Axis powers, including Japan, Italy, and Germany.

THE SECOND WORD WAR IN USA When World War II broke out in Europe, Roosevelt promised to
keep the USA out of the war. However, on December 7th 1941,
Japan bombed the American naval base at Pearl Harbour, in
Hawaii. This event forced Roosevelt to declare war. The USA
quickly joined the British-Soviet alliance against Japan, Fascist
Italy and Nazi Germany. During the war, Roosevelt worked
closely with the leaders of allied powers, Churchill and Stalin, but
he died just before the end of the war. The new president was
Harry Truman. When the war ended in Europe, Japan refused to
surrender. Truman made a big decision: on August 6th 1945,
America dropped an atomic bomb named ‘Little Boy’ on
Hiroshima in Japan. It destroyed the city and killed thousands of
people. Japan still refused to surrender. Three days later, on August 9th, a second bomb, nicknamed ‘Fat
Man’, was dropped on Nagasaki. Again the devastation was horrible. Six days later Japan surrendered to
American forces.
