World War II, 1939–1945

World War II, the most devastating international con�ict in history, was waged across Europe and the Paci�c between the Axis powers (a coalition between Germany, Japan, and Italy) and the Allied powers (a coalition between the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and France) from 1939 to 1945. However, the U.S., upholding a long-standing policy of isolationism, refrained from being involved in the con�ict until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. Americans both on the battle�eld and the homefront worked together to contribute to the war e�ort. At the end of the war, the U.S. emerged as a superpower with global in�uence.

Policy of Neutrality

Following the declaration of war by Great Britain and France against Nazi Germany in 1939, the U.S. maintained a position of neutrality. This decision was in part informed by the U.S.'s long history of isolationism dating back to the Monroe Doctrine, which included a proclamation that the U.S. would not intervene in matters concerning the European continent. In addition, during the 1930s, the U.S. was struggling with the crippling impact of the Great Depression. Due to these factors, U.S. policy enforced noninvolvement.

Despite this o�cial stance of neutrality, President Franklin D. Roosevelt pursued tactics that would allow the U.S. to indirectly support Great Britain in the face of the rising threat of the Axis powers. The "cash and carry" policy established in 1939, for example, allowed the sale of war materials to Great Britain and other warring nations as long as the goods were paid for in cash and the transportation of goods were arranged by the buyer.

Attack on Pearl Harbor

The 1940s marked a turning point in which the U.S. renounced its policy of isolationism. As Nazi Germany waged war on the European continent, the Japanese Empire continued a series of invasions throughout various regions of Asia. In response to these acts of aggression, the U.S. restricted the export of such crucial resources as oil and steel to Japan, heating up tensions between the two nations. These tensions continued to rise and culminated in a surprise Japanese attack on the U.S. naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941—an event that Roosevelt proclaimed would "live in infamy."

The heavy casualties and damage caused by the Pearl Harbor attack fanned public outrage and shifted the national attitude from isolationism to support for joining the war. On the day after the attack, Roosevelt asked for and received a declaration of war by the U.S. Congress on Japan and, in extension, its allies Germany and Italy. American men were drafted for military service and joined the battle�elds in Europe and the Paci�c.

War on the Homefront

War was waged not only on the battle�eld but also on the homefront. Americans at home rationed gasoline, food items, and other goods for the sake of the war e�ort. The U.S. government established the War Production Board to ensure that such important resources would be primarily allocated to the production of weaponry, equipment, uniforms, and other essential military items. As factories switched to a system of wartime production, fewer consumer goods stocked store shelves.

Day-to-day roles also shifted in light of the war. Increasing numbers of women left the domestic sphere and entered the workforce to �ll the roles that were previously occupied by men who had enlisted. The popular image of Rosie the Riveter, rolling up her sleeves and declaring "We Can Do It!," embodied the challenging of gender norms as more and more women joined wartime industries.

Although all Americans contributed to the war e�ort, discriminatory practices remained in place. Despite the demand for workers in wartime industries, African Americans were often denied jobs on the basis of their race. In response to civil rights activists, Roosevelt established the Fair Employment Practices Committee (FEPC) to ensure fair hiring policies.

Japanese Incarceration

Japanese Americans became a target of fear in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Concerns that they would work as spies for Japan led Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 9066, which allowed for the forcible relocation of Japanese Americans to incarceration camps. Such camps were located in remote areas and surrounded by barbed wire and guard posts. Detainees lived in crowded barracks and su�ered from poor, unhygienic living conditions. However, despite these harrowing circumstances, many Japanese Americans continued to contribute to the war e�ort. The 442nd Infantry Regiment, composed of Japanese American soldiers, became one of the most decorated military units in U.S. history.

War's End and Legacy

World War II ended in 1945 following the surrender of Germany and Japan. The extremely heavy loss of life around the world, as well as the controversial U.S. military strategy of dropping atomic bombs on Japan, had long- lasting social and political consequences on the global stage. One result was the establishment of the United Nations, which was formed to encourage international dialogue and prevent future con�icts of the same scale. In addition, the U.S. emerged from the war as a leader in global relations, shedding the nation's long-held isolationist past. Developments on the American homefront also set the foundation for social movements that would gain steam in the postwar era. Deborah Lee Further Reading
