USA WWII: USA entered World War II… because of the Pearl Harbor incident. Japanese aircraft prepared to attack, the radar of USA Naval force didn’t detect the military forces approaching, until one radar detect something strange approaching the borders of USA. They send the message to the general about the detection but he told to don’t worry, mostly because other radars didn’t detect them and everyone thought that they were American planes coming back home. Later a cloud of Japanese airplanes came and began to bombard all the navies and military forces in Pearl Harbor. That’s when USA declared war on Japan and automatically enters World War II.

Usa during the Great Depression
You could say that the Great Depression started because of the Businness Boom in the 1920s. The three factors that fueled this economig growth were: the machines, the process of standarized mass production and the factories.
What happened then is that the poeple wanted to have all the new devices that the world was creating and producing so they started to ask moeny to the banks to buy their refrigerators, automobiles, radios, and many other things, but the problem is that they were people that couldn't pay back the money they ask for.
Then, while Herbert Hoover, the 31st president of the United States, was ruling, many ohter things happened as the break down of several companies, increase of unemployement, decrease of international commerce and the decrease of imports and exports too. The Great Depression in USA dropped 68% of the money.
But they though that they could succeed when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won the elections on 1933. He had a very good plans as the continuance of Hoobert's proposal, which was the New Deal, which is a political effect of the Great Depression.
So the changes that occured is that they made a control in the bank to avoid another crack, authorization of the Federal Reserved or to the goberment to give creditos or loans. What they made too is that they cancelled the exportations and importations so then all the money was going to move just in the United States.
And that was the idea that Herbert Hoover had of the New Deal but unfortunately it didn't work until the WWII when the material work got into the gear and ended unemployement.
And that is how United States of America lived the Great Depression, and how they tried to get rid of it through Herbert's Hoover proposal, the New Deal.
