NYC Celebrations
At the start of the Second World War, Americans generally took the stance of isolationism. When Japan sneakily attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, the American mindset changed. When the war eventually came to an end, Americans celebrated all throughout the country, but perhaps no celebration was as big as this one in New York City.
