The+Beginning

===World War II started because of Adolf Hitler. Hitler went on German radio and created the allusion that Germany was being attacked by Poland. Another cause of World War II was that German was in an economic struggle after WW I. Hitler used the economic problems at home as an excuse to attack neighboring countries. === ===Further, he Germans took out their problems on Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, and Catholics who were then put in concentration work camps and forced to work for the German war effort. When they could no longer work they were killed. ===

===The Americans got involved when attacked by the Japanese. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and the US retaliated. After years of fighting the US developed the Atom Bomb. After a long thought out debate the US decided to drop an Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima, a city in Japan. The Atom Bomb was successful in that it killed hundreds of thousands of people and persuaded Japan to surrender. ===
