Victor Davis Hanson: World War II Was a Noble Cause — Anything Else Is Ahistorical

Normally, we would expect the Left to be the ones questioning the validity of the United States’ involvement and conduct in World War II as anything other than a ‘noble cause,’ — which it was. As of late, World War II revisionism is happening on our own side, among some conservatives. These revisionists are not focusing on typical, left-leaning talking points like Japanese internment or the dropping of the atomic bombs.  

Instead, they have chosen to die on some very odd hills: Japan was pressured into attacking Pearl Harbor because of the U.S.’ oil embargo, Admiral Yamamoto was a peacenik, and Hitler was sincere when he sued for peace in July 1940 after conquering much of Western Europe.
