The US Army had about 1,100 serve during WW 2. Listing them all or even
the top 50 would be beyond the scope of this forum. Lieutenant General
Simon Bolivar Butler was the senior General Officer killed during the war.
He was Commanding the 10th Army on Okinawa at the time.
Ten other Army Generals were killed in action and two were taken as POW's by the Japanese and were executed.
Generals George C. Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower,
and Omar N. Bradley were the senior US Army Generals with the rank of
General of the Army (5 Stars).

∙ 14y agoThe most senior officer in the British Army was Field Marshall Montgomery There were many but Montgommery was the most famous
The most senior General was NOT Montgomery, it was in fact Field Marshal Alan Brooke. He was Chief of the Imperial General Staff, 1941-1946 which is the highest appointment any British general can achieve, as this is the head of the British Army (the Appointment is now known as Chief of the General Staff in the UK, not to be confused with th Chief of the defence Staff which is a service rotating head of combined forces)

∙ 16y agoWe did not have a 'general' as such. In the UK the leader of the army is called a Field Marshall. In WW2 Field Marshall Montgomery (affectionately known as 'Monty' to the troops) took charge of much of the allied action and, along with Churchill, Roosevelt and the US generals was instrumental in winning the war.

Montgomery, Alexander, Wavell, Auchinleck, Horrocks, Brooke, of UK. Significant Germans include: Rundstedt, Manstein, Rommel, Guderian, Bock, von Arnim. Russians Rossokovsky, Koniev, Eremenko, Zhukov. The above is by no means an exhaustive list.

Did Great Britain rule the world?
They didn't rule the world, but they colonized most countries in the world.
Why do you think foreign nations supported the colonists rather than Great Britain?
During the American Revolutionary War, foreign nations (European nations, particularly) supported the Colonists rather than the British for primarily one reason: they were competing with Great Britain for supremacy in the Old World and elsewhere. Thus, to see Great Britain defeated in America would weaken that nation while at the same time strengthening Great Britain's competitors, especially France and Spain.
Why did the US become allies with England in World War 1?
"England isn't a country. We sided with Great Britain." Wrong again. Great Britain is not a country either. The country at the time which allied with the US, was the UK; united kingdom of Great Britain and [at the time not northern] Ireland. It is like saying "mainland america", it is a geographical term, more commonly mistaken for "the island of Britain", Great Britain being the outlying islands. Only Americans call it Great Britain. NO ONE in the UK calls it Great Britain apart from an atlas which includes all the islands around it.
