Ernest Hemingway is one of those artists, who like to expose themselves any way they like.

He began as a critic, and later became a novelist – he is considered the champion of literary realism, who depicted each aspect of society without any embellishment.

Quite often, America's entry into World War Two has been attributed to the Pearl Harbor attack by Japan in 1941. While that is the case, the background to Japan's attack is what drew America into the war with the Pearl Harbor attack being a mere pretext.

By default, the Neutrality Act served to embolden Germany's quest for domination of Europe. That is because America's non-involvement made it easier for Germany to attack France and Britain. America's ...
