In Reply to: RE: why do you think the USA entered WW2? nt posted by jamesgarvin on June 25, 2007 at 15:53:12:
I think the USA was very happy for Stalin to put various east European countries under his control.
It gave an easy enemy to keep the USA's military budgets blooming. It moved the USA out, way out, of the depression.
As for installing puppet governments, you are right. The USA only picked up on that tactic after WW2.
The reasons for Stalin's deal with Hitler are various, but do you also include Britain among the condemned for dealing with Hitler?
Before WW@ started, everybody knew what Hitler was already doing to the Jews. But who cared enough to do anything?
And why would the USA not be interested in entering WW2 in order to protect those European democracies, stop the massacres of the Jews/socialists/gays across the countries that Germany invaded?
I think the USA grew up a lot in the ways to run an empire during this period.
Even though they became top nation earlier, the domestic economy had been in tatters for a decade and it was only really then that they moved into the deals necessary to become a superpower. (Who came up with that word?).
