World Army

== History ==
In the year 1939, World War II began. Many countries began preparing in case of an attack. This became more of a concern after Hitler acquired the Spear of Destiny and used it in an attempt to take over the world. The island of Themyscira was invaded and their population was decimated. Their Queen, Hippolyta was forced to enter Man's World to end the war. 
The worst of these attacks were done by the Japanese. On December 7th of 1941, Pearl Harbor was bombed and many were killed. The following day, the United States declared war on Japan and shortly thereafter, the US also declared war on Nazi Germany. 
In the weeks following, Roosevelt and Churchill made an agreement and the heroes of the United States and the United Kingdom became the World Army. In the words of FDR, "they truly are an All-Star Squadron." 
The World Army disbanded after the end of World War II. The Spear of Destiny was stolen by Vandal Savage.

== Notes and Trivia ==
=== Trivia ===
* Counting the other groups within the squadron, the All-Star Squadron is the largest superhero group ever formed. 
=== Notes ===
* As far as the US government was concerned, all USA-based super-heroes who were active during World War II were members of the All-Star Squadron, even if they were never called up and asked to participate in a case. However, the list below only includes heroes who have been shown to have been active members of the All-Star Squadron.
* The Trylon and Perisphere, actual structures constructed in New York City for the 1939 New York World's Fair, housed the Squadron's headquarters. The All-Star Squadron had a robotic butler named Gernsback, who was based on the Elektro robots from the fair and was probably named after Hugo Gernsback.
* Rider of the King Tide is an analog of the Golden Age Aquaman.
