Star General was created in 1996.
Yes. The highest rank in the Canadian Forces is a General, who is also the Chief of Defence Staff. He is equivalent to an American five-star General.
Each star denotes a single campaign.
AnswerWD GO 33 45 refers to a General Order that issued a campaign ribbon(and medal) at the end of the war. A General Order is like a memo from a headquarters. They were identified by the issuing HeadQuarters, the Year they were issued, and the memo number for that year.WD GO 33 45 was General Order #33 issued by the War Department in 1945 that established the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater Campaign Medal.The Bronze Star device that was attached to this medal signified 1 campaign. A silver star device inicated 5 compaigns. 6 campaigns in the EAME Theater would be indicated with one silver and one bronze star on the campaign ribbon.The discharge papers usually reference the General Order number for this EAME Campaign medal and it usually lists each campaign that he recevied credit for.CustermenThere was also a General Order GO 40 WD 45 and GO 46 WD 45 and GO 48 WD 45, but these seem to be related to a general campaign medal also.
There is no such thing as a W campaign star. I'm assuming you mean with a campaign star. Each star represents a campaign that soldier was a part of for a minimum of 30 consecutive days or (I think) 90 nonconsecutive days. There are seven campaign stars authorized. There will never be any more so it's over. What you have is what you have and you can't get any more.

A Service star, also referred to as a battle star, campaign star, or engagement star, is an attachment(or device) to a military decoration which denotes participation in military campaigns or multiple bestowals of the same award. Someone serving in a Campaign would receive one of the two Campaign Ribbons/Medals. He would receive an Oak Leaf device for each Battle after that until he had obtained 4, then he would be issued the battle star. So the Battle Star is just a star. The Medal for service in Morroco would be a campaign medal and most likely the European - African - Middle Eastern Campaign Medal.
The very fact that he is addressed as 'General' makes his rank a general. 1 star ; Brigadier 2 star ; major general 3 star ; lieutenant general 4 star ; general 5 star ; field marshal These are the British titles for one to five star.
Star General happened in 1996.
Yes it is. On Star Wars Battlefront there is no campaign. It is called Rise of the Empire. But it is the last level.
Many WWII discharge papers of individual servicemen refer to GO 33 WD 45, or "General Order number 33 of the War Department issued in 1945". This General Order created the Victory Medal and issued it to all soldiers currently in the army. (In each new year general Orders from the War Department started over at Number 1). Your question does not specify the year of the general Orders you are inquiring about, but the GO 33 WD 45 is often seen. I believe General Order 40 of the War Department in 1945 defined the Ardennes Campaign ("Battle of the Bulge") and is usually referenced on discharge papers to indicate a soldier was credited with participation in that campaign. This would entitle him to one little bronze "campaign star" to wear on the ribbon of his EAME - that's Europe-Africa-Middle East campaign medal.
General Douglas MacArthur was a famous general during WWII. He was the commander of the Southwest Pacific Area. For his role during the Philippine Campaign, he received the Medal of Honor. He also was the five-star general who accepted Japan's surrender in 1945. MacArthur was born in 1880 and died in 1964.
