Pictures and videos
America Calls
This picture was meant to get America to join the war before it was too late. “Civilization calls” means that if America doesn’t step in, civilization as we know it might come to a halt. The lady sleeping represents how America hasn’t gotten involved in the eastern hemisphere when it needed to.
isolated america
This rather gruesome picture shows how isolated America was, and how it affected the eastern hemisphere. The first part shows a rainy day with many dead bodies. The second part shows a change in weather, meaning a long time has passed. The third part shows how “D.P.” still hasn’t answered, after however many days passed.
American Views
This is an accurate picture of America’s views. The woodpecker is cutting down all of the trees, and the American tree thinks that it’s safe from harm. The woodpecker has a nazi symbol on it, representing the nazi cause. The broken trees in the background represent countries that Germany has already invaded.
