American Woman Factory Worker (Katharine Yan)

We are now facing yet another world war, which began when Germany invaded Poland on September 1st. Hitler's aggressive actions will only result in the loss of millions of innocent lives. I know that if the U.S. was in the same position as Poland, I would be infuriated that someone would try to invade and take control of our country. This event will plunge Europe into another long-lasting war. Already, Britain and France have declared war on Germany. I don't know if America will follow them, but I do hope that we will at least aid Britain and France by providing them with supplies for their militaries. Who knows? Maybe this will finally pull us out of the depression that we have suffered from for so long. Looking back on the first world war, our economy received great benefits from sending resources to the Allies. Hopefully, history will repeat itself and the economy will finally recover, with those unemployment rates lowering at last. Right now, I am mostly concerned with our own country's problems. But if this upcoming war is what is finally going to end the depression, then I am completely in favor of America helping the side that's fighting against Germany. Anything to end the financial turmoil that people throughout the country are going through is welcome in my opinion. If all goes well, the factory that I work at will soon start manufacturing goods to contribute to the war effort. Overall, I disagree with Germany's actions toward Poland, and hope that the U.S. will aid the Allies, which just might end our economic crisis.
