Poem - WWII History Poem (High School poem I wrote)

in wwii •  4 years ago 

Tedious wars marched up our front,
In preparation to receive world domination,
Quotidian casualties began to rise,
As Germany tried to reach max recognition,

They had a goal based on imperialism,
To extend their rule beyond their own country,
No man could resist augmentation to their land,
Whether it be land, air, or sea,

1939 was the year that started it all,
When Germany and Slovakia invaded Poland,
Two days later Britain and France declared war,
To reduce the inhibiting thought to gain no land,

The Axis had formed to subdue all posed threats,
Only to diminish what stopped the greatest territorial gain,
From 1939 to 1941,
Hitler had conquered much of Europe and all its fame,

June 1941, Germany posed a threat to the Soviet Union,
A rush to invade, to provide leisure for their militant,
As a result the Axis powers had lost this confrontation,
But to the Allies the result remained to be truly significant,

It was called the Eastern Front,
A turning point of war which resulted on the Baltic States,
Approximately 30 million casualties were recorded,
One gruesome number cowered the man who dictates,

During the Great Patriotic War,
The once neutral U.S. sought Russia's vengeance,
With medical aid, food, and supplies,
To defeat and control Germany's sinful temperance,

December of 1941 a devastating attack occurred,
It'll always be remembered as the bombing of Pearl Harbor,
A catastrophic event that left vast lands of Hawaii in ruins,
The U.S. was defenseless, we had lost our shield and armor,

Japan was responsible for this deadly catastrophe,
In which the U.S. felt no hesitation to call for war,
We entered the battleground with a fully trained army,
Which inevitably resulted in the destruction of them and more,

Our home front war bounced back between us and them,
With victories appearing all over the European air and sea,
On December 11th, war was declared on us,
Which then our war included Germany and Italy,

In 1942, Japan and the Axis faced great loss,
As their naval fleets and militant troops diminished in size,
One great astronomical battle was our capture of Stalingrad,
Which only let fear mix with the Axis hatred and demise,

The war raged on day after day,
With casualties continually to remain on the rise,
One of the largest numbers in history,50 million,
More and more soldiers continued to lose their lives,

Hitler faced paranoia,
The wars effort seemed to become imminent,
April 30th Hitler could face no more,
A suicide that led to victory glow so luminescent,

The Battle of Berlin,
Which began ten days before Hitler's death,
Went down as one of the bloodiest battles in history,
Ended May 2nd, from the final soldiers breath,

May 8th 1945, the Allies rendered victorious,
Germany had surrendered to the extreme power,
They marched on westward to surrender to us,
Because they couldn't face Soviets making them a coward,

The postdam conference was held in action from the war,
Which both Germany and Japan faced hardship,
A reparation of $20 billion was to be made to us,
Yet we payed Japan for our unconstitutional interment,

World War II changed the face of the world,
It led to many standstills and confrontations,
It led us to face a cold war with the Soviets,
And left ruins in every European nation,

The U.N. did wonders in the worlds recovery,
As everyone slowly cleaned up their economy,
Germany's Holocaust had finally ended,
The world faced no more of inhuman anomalies,

…This was World War II...
