The second World War began with Hitler seizing power in Germany and taking Germany to be a superpower again. And in 1939 he decides to invade Poland and then all of Europe. This gave America an opportunity to be a world power. America first participated by funding the Allies with war materials since America was able to mass produce products such as cars, house items, food items, and war materials. Then America declared war on Japan & Germany after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The War in Europe was over when the Red army took Berlin. It was finally over though when Japan surrendered after America dropped the two Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Flag rising at Iwo Jima
