Summary
Germany, Italy, and Japan had common enemies but different goals during World War II. On the contrary, the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union all considered that the defeat of Germany would be their ultimate goal. The Allies achieved several significant victories against Germany that served as turning points in the war in Europe. During the war, more women entered the workplace and African Americans made strides in fighting discrimination on the job while other migrant workers faced racial conflict in some areas. The Holocaust also provides some insight on how innocent people became victims to the rule of one dictator during World War II. After World II, leaders of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union met to plan on how to divide post-war Europe. Imperialism had soon declined. The war had changed how many Americans thought of themselves and gave them an opportunity to take a more active role in the global economy and political affairs.
