        Yep, we don’t teach in us schools the isolationist position of ww2 or the war profiteering during both ww¹ and ww² while playing the isolationist.

          Between the indiscriminate chemical weapons and the nepotistic generals ordering hundreds of thousands to their futile deaths, isolationism in WW1 was still probably the right idea.

        And dropped two nukes just to flex its powers. Mind you those nukes were dropped at the end when it was only about time for Japan to capitulate. Killing directly and indirectly hundreds of thousands of innocents.

        Don’t forget the fire bombs over Tokyo, a city of mostly paper and bamboo houses, causing an exodus for innocent people.

          Your source talks about events prior to 1939. Poland and France had not been attacked yet. Most people didn’t know what Nazi Germany’s plans were.
