World War Two (sep 3, 1939 – sep 2, 1945)
Description:
At the end of the war, $46 million was given by Americans to the Zionist cause and the US took in 150,000 Jewish refugees. The US press encouraged terrorism against Britain and President Truman put diplomatic and economic pressure on Britain to increase immigration levels, because the US knew that Britain feared losing a crucial ally.
