Absolutely. Europe was still recovering from the previous war, and was entirely unprepared. Their opponents were not only prepared, but absolutely determined to annihalate their victims. The European Allies were tired, demoralized, and all but defeated. Great Britain was holding up best against the Axis attacks, and that was mostly due to the fact that the Axis had only bombed Great Britain, they hadn't launched a full attack. Without fresh American troops, morale, and Yankee ingenuity, how long would it have taken? The Germans had made themselves into a fighting machine that could withstand attacks from the outside and inside. And, like it or not, America's fate was tied to Europe. If Europe fell, the Axis would turn their eyes to the Americas next. If we had not entered the war when we did, we might be speaking German.

H1. Why did genocide tragically kill so many more people in the 20th century than in the rest of world history combined?
Partially because of the rise of nationalism, and the belief that their country and race were better than everyone else. It was also partially due to the acceptance of the "theory" of evolution, and the rejection of Christain values and belief in God. There was less concern for others, more about themselves, and what was best for them. The thought was that if getting rid of everyone from another race, so be it. It probably would have been better if the world had not rejected chivalry as well.
H3. Was it right for Churchill not to warn a town about a German bombing if he knew the town would be bombed?
Churchill sacrificed the lives of civilians to preserve the possibility of saving soldiers, in case of the chance that the Axis would figure out that their code had been cracked. De was waiting for the right time time to use the information learned from the intercepted messages. If you go through life wating for the right,or perfect time to do things, those things might just not get done. Often, there are no right or perfect times, just some that happen to be better than others. One of the duties of the government is to keep the people safe. I don't agree with the choice he made, as the were other options available.
H6. Was General MacArthur right or wrong in the Korean War?
Wrong. Regardless of how inexperienced, stupid or incompetent your president is, he is still your commander-in-chief. MacArthur swore an oath to obey him, and chose not to do so. However brilliant MacArthur's plan was, he still disobeyed his commander, and broke his oath.
