The Two Faces of the Coin: Roosevelt vs. Mussolini
Democracy alone, of all forms of government, enlists the full force of men's enlightened will...It is the most humane, the most advanced, and, in the end, the most unconquerable of all forms of human society. The democratic aspiration is no mere recent phase of human history...We...would rather die on our feet than live on our knees. (PresidentFranklin Delano Roosevelt, Second World War history, in his Third Inauguration Speech, January 20, 1941). World War Two began in September 1939 when Britain and France declared war on Germany following Germany's invasion of Poland. But the cause of the invasion of Poland, was more complex than the acquisition of territory, the reason was that the Treaty of Versailles still affecting the Germanylife style after 20 years that the treaty was signed. The people was unhappy, the economy was decaying, all the nation was in a complete decadency, and this create that the people give the power to the only person that promised to rip up the Treaty of Versailles, so we can said that the principal cause of the WWII was the solution of the WWI. In this essay we strive to comprehend the two viewpoints of each leader, the way they get involved in this conflict, what strategies they applied to this problem and what role they played in the war.

That next day military recruiting offices were full with boys and men ready to join so they could fight the 'Japans'.
