World War II (79)

This web site was created in honor of World War II Soldiers. It commemorates the unsung warriors that fought for the freedom of the civilized world.

We want people to know of these groups’ roles and hardships throughout World War II.
About this site

Japanese Internment

2004
On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese. Widespread anger and chaos ensued. The U.S. government immediately declared war upon Japan marking the entrance of the U.S. into World War II. This also marked the beginning of the incarceration of Japanese-Americans. A truly unjustified action, the internment of the Japanese is one example of how unsolved discrimination can bring injustice to U.S. citizens. This website honors the Japanese-Americans who went through the experience and lived to tell. History is meant to be passed on and used to keep from making the same mistakes.

World War 2: A Turning Point in History

2003
We are here to give an accurate, unbiased report on the Second World War. The information we give here may not be what you are used to. We will not blow American power out of proportion like it has been done in many history books. We will portray World War 2 as it happened. We will not make it seem as if Americans won every battle. We will make it seem like the truth, which was that we needed our allies as much as they needed us. Americans aren't like they are in the movies and the video games. They die when shot and they lose battles. I am not saying that everything you've seen and heard is false, but a lot of it has been written from a biased point of view. So now, without further ado, we will now commence to portray World War 2 as unbiased as we possibly can.
