Explanation: World War I, which was fought from 1914 to 1918, was called the War to End All Wars.
解釋：從1914年持續到1918年的第一次世界大戰被稱為“終結所有戰爭的戰爭”。
People thought that it was such a big war that no other wars would need to be fought.
人們認為這場戰爭的規模是如此大，所以再也不會發生其他戰爭了。
Obviously (or clearly), this was wrong.
很顯然（或很明顯），這一想法是錯誤的。
In the 1900s, the United States fought in five wars.
在20世紀，美國總共打了五場戰爭。
After World War I, the United States fought in World War II.
一戰過后，美國又參加了二戰。
The United States didn't want to fight in that war, but when the Japanese bombed (or dropped weapons or things that would explode on) Pearl Harbor, the country decided that it was time to join the war against Japan, Germany, and Italy.
美國并不想參戰，但當日本轟炸（或投下武器或爆炸物）珍珠港的時候，美國認為是時候加入這場對抗日本、德國和意大利的戰爭了。
The next war that the United States fought in during the 1900s was the Korean War between 1950 and 1953.
美國在20世紀打的下一場戰爭是1950年至1953年的朝鮮戰爭。
North Korea and South Korea were fighting against each other, mostly because North Korea had a communist government and South Korea did not.
朝鮮和韓國當時正在打內戰，這主要是因為朝鮮是共產主義政府而韓國卻不是。
Soon the United States and the Soviet Union became involved as an extension (or an additional part) of their Cold War,
不久后，作為他們的冷戰的延伸（或額外的部分），美國和蘇聯參與了進來，
which was the period of time from the 1940s to the 1990s when the United States and the Soviet Union had many political problems with each other.
這是20世紀40年代至90年代美國和蘇聯之間存在諸多政治矛盾的時期。
