Think hard. Europe went to war in 1939. The U.S. did not. Wasn't that strange? In fact, the U.S. capitalists didn't give a damn about Europe. Thepr interest was in China, a country the U.S. capitalists had wanted to steal since they saw how the British had plundered China. Indeed, since 1918 the U.S. capitalists had been building their massive fleet to serve in the Pacific, with rather less in the Atlantic. And in 1939, the British, who had plundered China for centuries, needed all their troops in Europe. U.S.capitalists then put all their interest in getting control of the ruler of... read more
