What battles took place in Italy to capture a monestary?
The only one of which I am aware was the battle for Monte Cassino in, I think, the Spring of 1944. When the Allies advanced north, they came against the strong defenses called the GUSTAV Line, which set up across the entrance of the Liri Valley and included the mountains on each side. The prominant mountain included the Monestary at Cassino and Castel Hill. The town of Cassino was at the base of this mountain. For almost 5 months the Allies tried to break through this German defensive position. The campaign is broken down into 3 attacks. The first attack began with the assault across the Gargilano and Rappido Rivers on 22 Jan 1944. The final breakthrough began with the spring assault on 11 May 1944, and resulted in the relief of Anzio and the liberation of Rome on 4 June.
What was the battle of Anzio and Casino?
Since the summer of 1943 British and US forces along with other allies,had been advancing slowly through the difficult Italian terrain,now in early 44 they were held up south of Rome were held up by a new German defence line the key to this was a mountain with an ancient monastery called Monte Cassino,the allies planned to outflank this defence by a seabourne assault on a resort town to the North west called Anzio,however the Germans by now expert in defensive warfare reacted quickly and held their ground preventing the beachead from breaking out,they did in the end and US forces captured Rome some 4 months later on June 5 44,in the meantime the Cassino position was also captured after very heavy fighting,the allies were reluctant to bombard this ancient holy building,but used airpower to reduce it to rubble when they believed that the Germans were using the building,the Germans claim that they were not,but now used the allied bombing to good advantage as ruins make better defenses the troops manning these were elite German paratroopers,and the allies found the fighting very hard,it was captured by Polish troops,US General Mark Clark was in for some flak for parading around Rome when he should have been cutting off the Germans retreat from the Cassino area,it was the 5th of June as Clark enjoyed his march through Rome,this event was overshadowed by news the next day 6th June DDay,
What were the short term effects of the Battle of Monte Cassino?
It proved a huge boost to the moral of the German Military. A small group of German paratroopers were subjected to some of the worst air bombing and Artilllary bombardment of ww2, and still managed to hold up the allied advance in Southern Italy for over 4 months. The 200 German Paratroopers defeatd 3 separate Campaigns mounted against them. The fourth Attempt finally proved successful. Allied Commanders stated that only the German Paratroopers were capable of such resistance, giving them praise.

What were the effects D-Day?
I know of one effect and that is that now the allies now have another way to get to the German forces.* The allies pushed through France towards the German border, proving that the German war machine was not invincible. The war started coming to its end in the European theater. Many soldiers lost there lives on D-day and during the months after. The German forces were defeated when Germany become surrounded by the Allies with the Russians to the south, and the British, Americans, and the Canadians to the south. D-day was the start of the end of the war in Europe.

What were the political conditions in Europe during World War 2?
Contiditions were certainly better than in World War 1. The morale of the army was a greater consideration than in the trench warfare of 1914-1918. At the begining of the war the French army were stationed in heavily fortified deences along the border with Germany with underground hospitals and railways linking their positions. For the German army being stationed in the West was a luxury compared to the Eastern Front. After the Allies invaded Normandy there was a period of tough fighting for around 3 months before a significant portion of the German Army was surrounded and the Germans retreate back to the Rhine. The toughest conditions for soldiers fighting in Europe were in Italy, especially around Monte Cassino. The German army here were much stronger than the troops stationed on the defenses of the Atlantic wall and the terrain and weather made the allied advance much more difficult. It took 9 months for the Allies to reach Rome after they landed in Italy and less than 3 months to liberate Paris and reach the German border, only lack of supplies especially fuel prevented them from going even further.
