U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CABINET VOTES TO JOIN WORLD WAR II

After an intense discussion, the Presidential Cabinet voted to involve the United States of America in World War II.

Shortly after this decision was made, representatives were sent to Winston Churchill’s War Cabinet to inform Britain that the United States is now able to provide support and troops overseas, a gamechanger for the previously outnumbered Britain facing large armies from Germany and Japan. 

The room intensely debated over whether involvement in the war was necessary. Many dissenters argued that the United States did not have the appropriate resources to enter the War. One member of the Cabinet present during the debate retold the intense discussion, explaining, “There was a bit of discussion on like, how far [do we go to involve ourselves]? And then the remainder of people believed that we did not have enough resources, because we were recently in the Great Depression.”  

Despite protests from several cabinet members, involvement in the Second World War seemed inevitable, and ultimately the pro-war side of the cabinet prevailed with a slight majority. Britain is currently in deep debate over their next steps in the war, with a future currently uncertain.
