What were the US major defeats and victories during World War 2?

Answer 1

Evacuation of the British army from France. Battle of Britain - the defeat of the German air force at the hands of the raf, thus putting off the invasion of England Stalingrad - The defeat of the German 6th army by the Russians. El Alamein - British 8th army defeat the Afrika Korps. Kasserine pass - Americans take heavy losses at the hand of the Afrika Korps. Battle for Normandy - Allied troops successfully gain a foothold in France and begin to retake the country, heavy casualties were taken in the process Market Garden - British 1st airborne is essentially destroyed at Arnhem, Americans airborne takes heavy losses holding the corridor to Arnhem open for XXX corps, the attack to take bridges to cross the Rhine and win the war quicker fails. Ardennes Offensive - German counter attack through the Ardennes finally fails but after heavy casualties to the Americans and Germans. Battle of Berlin - over 2 millions Russians assault Berlin and finally capture it, ending the war. The race for the completion of the atom bomb was, an unfortunate, but, arguably the most vital victory for the allies throughout the war. I also think That the opening of a third front through Italy was another vital factor in the defeat of the axis forces.

During the WWII 607 divisions of Hitler and his allies were defeated by Soviet Army. The Allied forces (without the USSR) smashed 176 divisions of the Axis. In the battles of Moscow, Stalingrad and Kursk the Axis troops losses were 2.5 millions. In 1943 near Kursk 3444 Soviet tanks and 2733 Hitler tanks have engaged. That was the greatest tank battle in human history.

Answer 3

During World War II and in the Pacific Theater, the United States experienced major defeats early in the war -- at Pearl Harbor and in the Philippines. A major victory at Midway (June 1942) and then another at Guadalcanal (February 1943) soon set it on the path of victory. In the European Theater, the United States experienced no major defeats, instead winning major victories from Torch (1942), to the Battle of the Atlantic (1943), to Overlord (1944), and then to the final invasion of Germany in the Spring of 1945.

Answer 4

During World War II, Germany's major victories and defeats may be briefly summarized as follows: Following initial success against Poland in 1939, Germany went on to 'lightning' victories in North and West Europe before being defeated in the 1940 Battle of Britain. Undaunted, Germany turned briefly South (into the Balkans) before invading the Soviet Union, achieving numerous victories there until late 1942, at which point it began a long, steady slide into ultimate defeat, punctuated by brief and merely occasional tactical victories. Concurrently, its involvement in North Africa and the Atlantic (Ocean) Campaign followed the same pattern of initial victories followed by steady defeats, while the Allied invasion of Europe in 1944 rapidly led to the opening of a Second Front and numerous setbacks leading to its final surrender in May of 1945.

Answer 5

Allied victories included he Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Britain, Battle of the Bulge, and the Battle of Philippine Sea. All of these just piled up crippling blows that the Axis-powers could never recover from.
