00:08

props for trying which of the following world war two

00:12

00:14

values expressed in this image right there more production And

00:19

00:29

00:32

may have talked a little smack about the rise of

00:35

america as an imperialist power this was a topic up

00:38

for public debate after world war two when america's military

00:41

but not a ton of our image So take off

01:44

the fun bold and caps Yeah they went all out

01:47

for this one however when the american government ordered the
