Document Summary
Mindset: we must stay neutral, because of the problems at home, world war one is a complete failure. How do fascist gain power: military force, promise of peace and food. They appealed to people"s hardships to undermine their personal liberties for the collective good ((order and stability) Fall of france: no one thought a country like france would fall to hitler; begins the mindset that civilians are to be targeted in the war, everyone believes so! No one has ever beet the soviets, and he wanted to prove that they are the greatest power. The us cannot get into the war, so we need something to happen to rally public opinion. The strategies: the us is not involved in combat fighting. The second front debate: a second front on how to use it against hitler. They disagreed on the timing and where do they start the front. America wanted to defeat germany in berlin, kill the head of a snake.
