World war II
World War II
World War II began in 1939. It was started in response to Germanys invasion of Poland. Britain and France declared war on Germany. At first America felt isolated from what was going on in the world but the sudden attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese heightened the involvement of the United States in the war. The M1 Garand was the main weapon used by American soldiers and it was a technological advance in the war. It was also the first semi-automatic rifle to be issued to an entire army and helped Americans to defend their country on the world's stage.
