Evil Dictatorships

While America trys to stay neutral, evil dictators carry out there actions as imagined. "Aggression on the march. Japan, Italy, and Germany followed a policy of aggressive territorial expansion during the 1930's. They invaded weak lands that could be taken over easily. The dictatorships knew what they wanted, and they grabbed it. The democratic countries responded with timidity and indecision to the aggression of the dictatorships"(World War 2). These dictators recieved easy victories over there new taken land. At this point and time the only force trying to stop the madness was the League of Nations. They had a small army and did not have enough power for making international laws. There efforts were obviously useless. The evil dictators of these countries got together and formed an alliance which was known as the Axis. When Germany and the Soviet Union invaded poland on Sept.1939, France and the United Kingdom declared war on vicious Germany, the start of World War 2"(Causes of world war 2). Asias war history started when japan decided to attack "Manchuria in 1931, which was a part of China. Manchuria was a rich source of minerals that could be helpful to regain Japan's power in Asia. The League of Nations restricted Japan to colonize Manchuria. In contrast, Japan not only refused to accept their decision as a member of League of Nations but quit from its membership and continued the battle. Later on, Japan called a war against United States at Pearl Harbor in 1941. This was known as the largest Asian war ever fought in the twentieth century. It resulted in United States declaring war against Japan and other nations like Germany and Italy, who had signed the Tripartite Treaty. United States participated in the World War 2"(Causes of world war 2).
