What date did Harold God win march to meet William of Normandy in the south of England?
1066 but he didnt win.
Why did the allies decide on invading Normandy instead of southern France in world war 2 the Germans did not have any divisions in southern France and it appears it would have been much easier going?
August 15th 1944, the allies invade the south of France and set the whole meditarranean coast free. The troops there walked up the Rhône to meet the Normandy troops and walk toward Berlin. The June 6th invasion was made in Normandy because the German were waiting in the Pas-de-Calais, the shortest way to reach France. They couldn't go further because of the fleet's size and the number of special floating equipment dragged by the cruisers.

If Hitler hadn't taken the tanks out of Normandy would the Germans have won World War 2?
If the Normandy invasion had failed, for whatever reason, that would not have been enough to let Germany win the war, or even avoid destruction. There is a very good chance that the Russians would still have invaded and occupied Germany in 1945 even without Anglo-American troops advancing from the west. If however the Germans had managed to beat back or hold off the Russians then the Atomic bomb would would undoubtedly have been used against Germany. That was its original intended purpose. Michael Montagne If the US had lost the Normandy beach invasion we still wouldn't be capable of dropping atomic bombs later in the war because of the simple fact that after the war ended we captured German scientists to help build ours, if we were not able to capture the scientists then the US wouold have no bomb...and Hitler would have which he would have used against the advancing Russians first then turned his focus to Britain then finally the US. Corrrection on this point. German scientists did help develop the atomic bomb, but they escaped from Germany BEFORE the war. They would have had to do it in a few months, and if that were possible, Hitler would have had it much earlier than that. If we had not invaded Europe then Hitler could focus all of his manpower on stopping the advancing Russians, and against the German luftwaffe, Russia wouldn't stand a chance, He would have walked through Moscow like the Japanese through pearl harbor...so the answer to your question, yes, the Germans would have won and the only people capable of stopping them would be the Tojo and Mousollini. Hitler would have kept expanding until his empire wrapped around the world and the borders meet in the middle of nebraska. Correction: Simply because the Allies would fail to get a foothold in Northern France does not mean Hitler or any of the others would have had any more success. At this time the Britsh and American troops had already opened up a front in Italy and were gaining ground in the European Continent. The Normandy Invasion took place on 1944 and the Italian sweep was under way in 1943. It wasn't as clean or clear a path, but it certainly put a dent in "Fortress Europe" At that point Mousollini (the one you note as a capable opponent of Hitler) had been over thrown and the Italians were looking for peace. The Luftwaffe was in shambles at this point in the war and while they may have posed more of a threat to the Russians than they did getting shot to pieces over Great Britain, they were hardly going to propel the Germans to Moscow. In 1942 - 1943 the Russians were already pushing the German forces back (as the Allies came up through Italy) ... it was hardly the picture of an Empire on the verge of world domination, in fact the Allies had been taking their toll with bombing runs over Germany. Just prior to the invasion itself there was a general feeling among the Germans (or some commanders) that they needed to get the Allies on the continent to actually be able to beat them. They felt that the Allies sitting safely in Britain while bombers picked away at their morale and resources meant that the strength of the German army in France was weakening. Did you actually study history before you gave the rest of the world? Did you notice that by 1943 the Allied forces in the Pacific had been hopping from island to island getting closer and closer to Japan while seriously impairing their once formidable naval power? Check the battle of Midway if you want to know when the Japanese had their turning point (1942) it was by 1943 that they were consistently going backwards. It's a whole lot easier liberating countries than it is conquering, not many wanted the Germans or Japanese in power in the areas they invaded and the people who "occupied" those countries before the Germans were all to willing to help get them out! The Question needs refraising. If Hitler had sent in the tanks is how it should start. Hitler belived that the Allied invasion would come at the Pas De Calais in northeast France. He kept the 15th panzer division close by there just in case. As the Normandy invasion was going on, Hitler still waited several daysbeforer letting the panzers go to Normandy. By then it was to late, the breach had been made. Would Germany have won the war? Possibly, but very, very unlikely.
How did the d day invasion contribute to the Allies victory in ww2?
It created the nightmare the German High Command always feared! Having to fight on 3 fronts, if you include the Italian front. The success at Normany, would forever during the rest of the war, pin down precious German manpower and tanks, at a time when the Soviet were getting stronger and destroying more German divisions then could ever been replaced. The Germans after D-Day, had to transfer valuable formations from Itay to meet the Allied threat in Southern France that summer of 1944. One of the great mysteries of the war, was why the Germans didn't take their forces out of Norway(there were 330,000), and shore up their defense either in the east or in France. They stayed in Norway till the end of the war. Hitler was alone in thinking that the British would invade Norway, which they never did.

What made Germany bitter after World War 1?
The victorious Allied forces imposed a very punitive peace treaty on Germany, the Treaty of Versailles, which among other things required Germany to pay reparations for the war. This was the primary source of the bitterness of Germans. Added to that was the economic disaster of the Great Depression, which made things hard for everyone, including Germans. It was much harder to meet the terms of the Treaty of Versailles as a result of the Great Depression. So, it was a painful situation.

What does it mean to meet your Waterloo?
It means to meet ones final crushing defeat. The defeat of Napoleon, Emperor of France, at Waterloo in Belgium, was his final defeat. The battle was on the 18th June 1815, and British and Allied forces under Wellington, almost exactly matched against the attacking French, withstood Napoleon's attacks all day, until Prince Bluecher of Prussia arrived in the evening. The Prussians had thrown off another pursuing French army, and the combined weight of the British, Allied and Prussian forces crushed Napoleon's main army by the end of the day.
