Historical Context

The M7 was manufactured during one of the most turbulent times in American history. The US had recently entered WWII and was already engaged in helping the Allied nations. ALCO became a respected producer of tanks, building the M3, M4 and M36. It is important to understand WWII and the Allied losses in North Africa to fully appreciate the importance of the M7.
