Though America officially stayed out of the fight until December 1941, President Roosevelt and the U.S. Congress were anything but neutral. Fearing a victory of
Japan and Germany, the U.S. lent support to allies who were at war with either. The U.S. sent billions of dollars worth of supplies to the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union, and China. In exchange, these countries gave the U.S. base rights in these countries military bases. The Lend-Lease Act was passed by
Congress in February of 1941 and signed into law by Roosevelt in March. For the next four years, the U.S. continued to supply the countries supplies and military
equipment while taking part in the war as well.

One of the most tragic events in America’s history was the Japanese surprise
attack on the Navy base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. On December 7, 1941, over 300 Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor in hopes of crippling the U.S. military to
further their plan to take over more land in the Pacific. In the attack over 2000 Americans were killed and the U.S. lost over 150 ships. While the attack
accomplished its goal of damaging the U.S. Navy, it also changed the vast majority
of opinion about staying out of the war. On December 8, 1941, in a moving speech, President Roosevelt called December 7, “a day that will live in infamy”
and asked Congress to declare war on Japan, which it did. A few days later, Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S., which America did in turn. From
December 8, 1941, until victory in 1945, America fought a two front war against Japan, Germany, and Italy.

In the short term, the arrival of Bell Aircraft company in Marietta, Georgia, was
important for the production of the B-29 bomber, a bomber that was America’s most technologically advanced of the war. The company was able to produce over 650 of the bombers before the end of World War II. Some of the planes were
used in World War II and later in the Korean War. However, the Bell Aircraft
company had an even more important impact on the economy of Georgia. During
the war almost 30,000 people, many from Georgia, were employed at the largest
plant to have ever been built in the Deep South. After the war the plant closed until 1951; however, the Lockheed Martin Company took over the facility that
continues to employee Georgians today. Due to the proximity of the plant, the
Dobbins Air Force based was located nearby, adding more employment
opportunities to the area.
